God's Chosen People
Gene Royer
Yesterday, I arrived home from a board meeting to find a package I had
ordered from Wayne Lutz. It was a collection of colorful, oversized
bandanas called "'Tude Rags"--made famous by Lutz and available on his
website at: http://www.stonecajones.com/tuderags/
They are worn nationwide in America by amateur-and-pro-athletes, bikers and
their babes, housewives, construction workers, white collar guys and gals
out for some excitement, etc.
My attitude was especially patriotic yesterday; so I chose a white one from
his *Patriots Collection*, emblazoned with American flags, and I wore it to
the gym. I was a hit. Everybody at the Y wanted one.
Afterward, I drove to an RV park located near Houston's Medical Center to
meet a cousin who is in town for ankle surgery. He's in his 60's and the
proud owner of a magnificent motor coach that retails somewhere in the range
of $250,000.
To demonstrate my affection for him and his wife, I gave each a 'Tude Rag.
His was from Lutz's *Stone Cajones Chili Pepper Collection*, and hers was
another Stars and Stripes design. They both beamed with gratitude.
When I got home, Mrs Geno eyed my attractive headwear and confiscated it for
herself. I wrote Lutz overnight and ordered a half dozen more of assorted
motifs. The man's a genius.
The United States of America is such a marvelous place to live. God has His
favorites, and we're it.
God Bless America and God Bless George W Bush and the golf cart he rode in.

What would have to be the matter with someone's head that they would put a
damn thing like that on it? You really got to wonder. Hamas and Arafat
idol worship? It's some kind of weird unconscious impulse to identify with
the victors in the Iraq war--those ragheads who are laying waste to our
military day after day--that's what it is. People are weird that way.
The backward ball-cap was not stupid-looking enough for these tasteless
fad-driven conformists? No. Now they got to go totally whole hog,
patterning their appearance after the most clueless herd-think yahoos on
earth, that great, bouncing up and down horde of blood-thirsty Islamic
rah-rahs over there in Fallujah and Baghdad.

|
| God Bless America and God Bless George W Bush and the golf cart he rode
in.
Most especially if it's the golf cart he rides out in, if John Kerry has
anything to say about it.
Seymour Hersh writes an article in the current New Yorker about how Bush
ignored advice from the Israeli Mossad, very early on, not long after the
fall of Baghdad to entirely seal off the Iranian border. They told him that
failure to do this would result in a growing and ultimately massive
insurgency.
Israel has since written off the U.S. effort in Iraq as an abject failure,
and George Bush as a loser. Looking to their own defensive interest they
have been sending their crack commando corps into the Kurdish north to train
a revolutionary cadre that will be equipped to declare, fight and win a
prize of Kurdish independence. Like Bush Sr., little Bush is stabbing
Kurdistan in the back once again as the U.S. has added its signature to U.N.
approval of an Iraqi constitution that denies veto power to the large
Kurdish minority, while granting it to the Shia and Sunni factions. The
Kurds are ready to kick some butt over that.
Americans are dying while Bush is out there toddling around in his daddy's
golf cart (the Bush administration) and the entire effort to wage a
"humanitarian war" has proven to be an abject failure. After Berlin and
Tokyo had been laid waste in WWII, there was nothing in the way of a viable
insurgency to follow. All the fight had been taken out of the enemy.
Humanitarianism has nothing to do with war and war has nothing to do with
humanitarianism. Bush has proved that. It can't work.
What's to be done? Should Fallujah and all the rest of these centers of
resistance be reduced to smoking powder a la Dresden and Hiroshima? Yes,
but not by bombs. You leave that job to the warring factions of Iraqis
themselves until the place looks like Beirut in the 70's.
Meanwhile you re-deploy all American troops to one defensible region, the
Kurdish north. You go there, you build a permanent U.S. base, you defend
those borders. You put your whole effort into reaching an accord with
Turkey. You provide a safe haven for the Kurds of Turkey in the north of
Iraq so that Turkey has the solution to their age-old conflict with the
Kurds solved. In return they keep their borders and air space open to the
necessary traffic.
Yes, you establish that Kurdistan island of sanity in the sea of Arab mania
with those millions of Kurds manning the Iran and Iraq borders, fully
supplied and backed by U.S. air-power and meanwhile you extract enough oil
from those wells to pay for all the costs of the war thus far before you
turn those wells over entirely to the Kurds--that would be the price of
their independence. We must recoup all our financial loss incurred thus far.
Anything less is loss and insanity. The oil goes out through Turkey.
George Bush is the biggest turkey that ever came on to the American scene,
he is the perfect choice for talking turkey with Turkey.

Oh really? Are his headscarves made in America, from American cotton?
In fact, the market for cheap tat is worldwide. The US has no
monopoly, though it's perhaps only there that some demented old fool
would think it worth bragging about.

I had the impression you wore a rug, not a rag. I could be wrong, but
I seem to remember a picture of you with that Caspar Weinberger-style
pigmental-dissonance. Sure sign of a rug.
Doesn't the headscarf sort of displace the rug when you're putting it

Vivian was a beautiful English girl, wasn't she? I'm one of the few people
old enough to have seen GWTW in First-run. I didn't see all of it because I
fell asleep in my dad's lap after about two hours. 1939 or very early '40,
it was.
Few articles of clothing are made from 100% cotton anymore. I suspect the
material of the 'Tude Rags is a mix of natural and synthetic fibers. They
are soft and easy to fold and tie in back. These are excellent items for
patriotic display, and being a Real American, I wear mine proudly.
I realize that you and your Injun buddy don't appreciate the U.S. and its
greatness, but I do.
As for the "rug" comments, I assume you mean *hairpiece*--as if you feel
there is something shameful about being bald. Now that is bigotry.
Although I'm not in the least bit molecularly challenged, I recognize
baldness as a normal occurrence of the aging process in some men. Obesity,
however, is not normal, and you really need to work on that. In fact, it's
gosh-awful ugly.
It's not as ugly as homosexuality and Korean pot-bellied pigs, but ugly,
nonetheless.

I'm sure it helps keep your perm from coming out in the humid Houston
weather.
It's hard to imagine you being 'especially patriotic'. What are you
like when you're not feeling so patriotic?
Does WL have a *NonPatriot's* collection for us liberals, maybe with
Iraqi and French flags on them? Canadian?
Or pictures of Kerry and Hillary? That one I'd buy.
The babe modeling the rag looks distinctly sick. Get her to a doctor.
A strict reading of the flag-burning amendment, by the way, would make
the Tood Rag illegal. When you're done with one, do you fold it and
burn it ceremoniously while playing Taps?

OMG, it's a babushka! And it's tied with some kind of scrunchy! How
manly.
A freakin kerchief.
Bwahaha. I hadn't gone to look until now.
It's a freakin kerchief tied into a ponytail! I especially love the
cowboy pattern. That's what a real cowboy puts in his pocket, not on
his head. Blows his nose on it. Ties it around his neck and covers his
nose in the wind.
Right. Show it to a rodeo rider and offer to tie it around his head.
You'll have a part of your own personal anatomy around your own head.

Hopelessly laughing. Transported in sheer mirth. Gasping with
hilarity. Doubled over in astonished wonder.
Political pundit sells Do Rags to raise money to pay the
"correspondents" for the Toke (which means suck, as in take a toke on
that).
And the bleat goes on. I think if you tie the rag tightly, it squeezes
the testosterone out of your head so it can be used in roaring and
stomping.

Actually, men who work cattle seldom wear Stetsons anymore without a bandana
tied around their heads beneath the hat. The reason is because hats cost so
damn much that it's smarter to use the cloth to soak up the sweat and add
longevity to the hat.
As for myself, I get drenched when I pump iron or punish the treadmill. The
'Tude Rag made all the difference this morning when I went through the
routine. A great idea.
And, of course we've all seen the NFL player with the Aunt Jemima rag under

I'll be sure to tell the guys workin' the cattle on our ranch that,
Bob. I'm sure they'll be amused.
"Mexican vaquero attire was adopted as Anglo American cowboy dress.
From the word "sombra" (shade) derived the word "sombrero," the
Mexican cowboy hat. The barbiquejo or chin strap held the sombrero
in place. Under his sombrero he wore a bandana or kerchief over his
head, sometimes with hair combed back and parted in the middle,
ending in a braid. " _Origins Of The first American Cowboys_

This was a funny one, and I'm sorry I didn't get to read it until this
morning.
I went to this guy's site and looked at a jpeg of something he calls a
Wagons Ho. It's got to be the ugliest ho I've even seen. Lordy.
I am reminded of the RV trip I made up to Lutz's place a few years ago right
after I broke my toe. I was on crutches, and my companion was my cat Tommy.
We left Houston and visited Eureka Arkansas, Branson MO, and then ended up
in Philly at Lutz's home in the middle of a snowfall.
My coach was a 43-foot (Country Coach) diesel pusher, and we had to cut the
16-day trip short by two days because of pressing business that arose during
the trip.
We chronicled the entire trip with daily postings to MW via remote hookups
and my laptop. RV Having Fun Yet was the caption.

Now that's funny.
It's now almost 5:00 ayem, and I'll be heading to the gym soon where I'll
sit down on the treadmill for about thirty minutes and then sit down and
pump iron for another hour or so. You, of course will be lying flat of your
big fat ass hoping for enough energy to arise and empty your bladder. How
do you stand yourself, B-b?
And to make matters even worse, I've got nearly 15 years on you. By the

Towse pays:
$5.99 for a yard of fabric
$3.49 for thread
$1.80 for leather lacing
$4.95 for UPS Ground shipping ($21.95 for 2nd Day Air)
$16.23 Total, but ya still have to buy the beads--another three
bucks.
Do you have fabric shears? Trust me, you do not want to use paper
cuttin' shears. That'll be another $20 and $3 more for shippin'.
So, even if ya already have the shears and a sewing machine, needles
and such, *your* route already costs you about $20 . *Then* there's
the time it will take you, Towse, to pre-wash and dry the fabric,
iron it, cut it, sew 128" of small hem and assemble the decoration.
Ooooh... looks like, even in your opinion, your own time is worth...

As an American business woman I can second your praise of my
country's opportunities whole-heartedly. If you are willing to work
hard and think ahead of the crowd, the United States is a fertile
ground for new enterprise. Small businesses can get a lot of breaks
designed to help them set root.
I, myself, spent a couple of summers working in true sweat shop
factories. See, in order to get ahead it helps if you are not too
proud to sneer at honest work. It was *hard* work, but the best
wages that I could then get in my situation (and a lot higher than
minimum wage).
If I could sew well and *smartly* enough to have made my own
business out of it I certainly would have done that instead. I love
working with fabric, just like Miz Lutz. I was already impressed by
how she channeled her quilting talent and business sense into a
paying venture, but--and this is what you are missin', Mr. Hope, but
so are a lot of people 'cause y'all don't know what I do--see,
professional quilters buy many yards of a fabric at a time, so a 32"
square piece is considered large *scrap* fabric.
When I saw Mr. Lutz's site it dawned on me that while I have a
closet full of scrap just sittin', Miz Lutz, who can cut straight
and run hems quickly, is turnin' *her* scrap into extra money. And
she STILL gets to play with fabric. Summabitch! That's brilliant!
Not to mention it frees up closet space.
Attitude Rags(tm), do-rags, call 'em what ya want, they are useful,
popular and they do sell well.

Ummmm... you can call them headscarves, but that's like sayin' that
since they are head coverings that they can be called top hats.
Technically, "headscarves" are a whole other market--different
fabric, styling and sewing techniques.
But, as for the Attitude Rags(tm) I'd bet on it. Quilters are very
fussy about their fabric, and the right hand for quilting is good
quality 100% cotton. It's what's gonna last, too. I've spent
countless hours at the International Quilt Festival's trade show
booths every year and I have seen only US fabric manufacturers
represented, and these are the names you'll see on the bolts at
quilt stores and quality fabric shops' quilting fabric area.

That's the Iron Pigs. Locally, there's a motorcycle club (aka "bikers")
composed of degreed engineers from my company. A friend is a part of
a more mixed group, several of whom, including the friend, are medical
doctors. As I was looking through the photos of the clubs I am familiar
with, I saw links to several Christian bike clubs. They are "crude"
enough to work at homeless shelters, do fund-raisers and rallies where
they gather money to help out charities, and what not.
The gall of that, innit.
A shame they can't take their porta-showers on their rides, since
their degree of cleanliness is of such great concern to you.

I'm just joining *your* hoary act, darlin.
> Got rag...?
The do rags, or 'tude rags, are lightweight, airy, and yet protect
the scalp from the sun. They keep the sweat out of the eyes. They
may be emblazoned with the clubs "colors", which is nice. For
those with longer hair, it helps keep the hair tidy -- men as well
as women.
Yes, yes, I know you're still clearly hung up in the charming,
albeit neandertal idea that only girlies have long locks and
only girlies should wear "babushkas" -- but the fact remains that
weight lifters, "bikers", road crews, people who work outdoors,
in fact (ranchers, gardeners, etc.) all wear these "babushkas" and
they don't seem to have this gender hangup that you have.
Oh, sure, they sweat and get grubby. I guess that's a cardinal
sin in your church.
Younger black males have taken to wearing something like these -- a
black nylon scrap that fits close to the head, hanging down the
back, and is secured to the head by ties that tie around back. They
wear their caps on over it, often, but they don't always wear
the caps.
The brawny, clean, and extremely well-mannered young man who is the
desk manager at the gym where I work out each day has taken to
that fashion.
He'd love to hear you call his headwear a "babushka", I'm sure, in
that wonderfully sneering way you have. Would doubtless provide him
with long moments of amusement.

The part I liked best was how small hems are so much more difficult to
stitch that big ones, and I pictured her tiny little fingers, all
reddened from the laundry soap, and chapped and blue with cold.
Honestly, one would have to have a heart of stone not to wet oneself

Well it seems to have blasted right past your last post to these
words. Took a little prompt from Miss UV. Perhaps merely a temporary
situation (koff). While you could construct yet another missive that
misses the point. How suddenly serious you've become over a snippet of
cloth of no particular consequence.
A kerchief is a kerchief. In the testosterone-laden context it's a
silly uniform emblem like tearing off the sleeves of sweatshirts so
the world can see triceps and biceps and be frighted by the glorious
mass. Only in this case, it's *also* using the flag to make a bullshit
blustery statement that somehow it's *American* and *patriotic* to
wear a rag and sweat into it. Funny how it used to be condemned when
it was hippies doing it.
The mirth was directed at the silly swaggering that went with a cloth
designed to be wrapped around a head and all the flatulent smugging
about how wonderful it is. Like it's a new idea. Dazzling...
