Goff's Hamburgers had a statue of Lenin in the parking lot.
The base said something like, "We won."

I have been told that I am too serious about life.
Maybe so but my Dad took 2 suicide hits at Iwo & I believe the reading of "Flags of our Fathers" ought to be manditory reading in high school & reassigned again in College History 101.
I dont think that hat is funny being sold in a America.

You know...On my way out of that store, I would have made it a point to ask the manager or store owner when I could come back and buy one of those hats with a swastika on it...(sarcasm mode...off)
Either way, until people understand that it is not "hip" to wear a symbol on your clothing that represents oppression of freedom and liberty, and was responsible for the deaths of over 20 MILLION people in the last century...Just seems to me that anyone who stocks their shelves with items like that deserves to be made aware of their stupidity...
It would not surprise me if this is not isolated to just this store...

I just took another close look at the tag on there:
"Always Cool" or "AC"
Might be interesting to do a little digging on that clothing line...Of course we all know why and where that will go...

Capitalism exploits the strangest of bedfellows...Ohhhh. thats a good one...I need to write that one down...
One more thing...

I'm surprised they don't have a hat for communist China. The USSR and Cuba hats are probably made there.
