    I can understand the frustration that the urban Democrats have, considering they are a sector of the population that has gotten very used to getting it’s way, and those genitalia hats certainly are something, aren’t they.

    Who would have thought that MSNBC, and Brian Williams would become such a source of entertainment……Please keep up the good work!

    The snark is strong in this one.

    And the brain is weak.

    For the record, I spent Friday and Saturday marching all over DC, and I saw not a single genitalia hat. They are pink hats with pointed “cat” ears.

    But never let facts interfere in a conservative bullshit tale, eh FBH? Shitbag.

    PS: The word you were looking for is “its,” not “it’s.” Typical illiterate shitbag.

    Bet you giggled when you wrote this.

    “TRUMP PICKS EL CHAPO TO RUN D.E.A.

    NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Just days after picking Betsy DeVos to run the Department of Education, President-elect Donald Trump has tapped another wealthy outsider by naming Joaquín Guzmán, known as “El Chapo,” to head the Drug Enforcement Administration.

    In an official statement, Trump said that El Chapo’s “tremendous success in the private sector” showed that he has what it takes to “shake things up” at the D.E.A.”

    Wow, anonymous. Way to “go high”. I didn’t realize the hats were such a touchy subject…..my bad.
    I’ll call them “pussyhats” from now on since that seems to be the official nomenclature….Again, thank you for the corrections…If no one corrects you, then how can you improve, right?

  7. I saw a couple of people come into work today with those hats. It was a great conversation starter, comparing notes from our respective rallies and such.

    I just hope we can build on this momentum. The marches must be the beginning, not isolated events.

  8. anonymous says:

    I don’t “go high,” pal. I find I have to get down where y’all are if I’m going to show what pigs you are.

    They aren’t a “touchy subject,” unless you meant that as a Vance Phillips joke. You said they represented genitalia, demonstrating that you didn’t know what you were talking about. Sounds radical, though, so even though it’s wrong, it’s better to use something that sounds gross and debased, the better to alienate the rubes.

    By the way, that was a pretty roundabout way of admitting you didn’t know what you were talking about in your first post. Bet that fools your pals at the Cracker Barrel all the time.

    I dont think FBH knows what one actually looks like. ( i dont mean the hats)

  10. mouse says:

    I’n their defense, I think conservatives are confused and bewildered by genitalia..

  11. fightingbluehen says:

    The money appears to indicate that the hat in question is indeed, a “vagina hat”…..Just Google “vagina hat” and see what pops up in the “Shop for” category.

  12. fightingbluehen says:

    Yes, yes, I know. Save your breath…just google “ass hat”, and you’ll see FBH, right…..Very funny…Ha, ha….Trust me, I’m used to it.

  13. RE Vanella says:

    Consider this a piece of friendly advice. You seem to have an obsessive fixation on this style of cap and its name. It’s very strange and makes you look like a fool.

    I was out on the DC streets Saturday. We’ll be back. Trust me. I encourage you to stay distracted by ladies caps, what they’re called and clever internet videos also.

    In the words of Gil Scott Heron, “look over your shoulder motherfucker, I am coming.”

  14. puck says:

    I didn’t make it to a march but I did find a pink scarf to wear all day.

  15. anonymous says:

    @FBH: If you had even seen one picture and processed it you wouldn’t have made a fool of yourself.

    You apparently are so stupid you’ve never heard of “bait and switch.” It’s not the money you’re following, it’s the stupid.

    Give up, fella. I’ve been reading you for years, and you don’t have the brains to hang here.

  16. fightingbluehen says:

    What you just implied is that there are “stupid” people out there looking for the “vagina hats” that they saw in a picture, and that the old “bait and switch” routine will help sell more of these hats to those stupid people, right? That is what you just said…..”It’s not the money you’re following, it’s the stupid.”

    ….You really should listen to Mr Krabs.

    PS. I do recognize the vitriol.

  17. anonymous says:

    Wow. So you have sales figures on that, right?

    Jesus, you people.
