A cowboy shirt to work...

Is this advisable? I am currently justifying my shirt to many members of staff - the crux is the matter of junior soiling of my work clothing + lack of washing machine space!

It is US flag oriented....

    Solution to lack of washing machine space:

    Handwash work garb, wring as much as possible, put in towel and wring again then hang on radiators. Problem solved.

    But I thought Obama was a Nazi, or is he supposed to be Stalin. Never let common sense get in the way of massively overstated hyperbole.

    Tea Party is a reference to the Boston Tea Party - in their deluded world (pfft) view, these people liken themselves to the founding fathers and the 'no taxation without representation' slogan, although what they really want is just no taxation. I read somewhere that the name was coined when someone suggested dumping government bonds into Lake Michigan in protest at the bail out of the banks (might not have that quite right). Apparently the whole 'grassroots' thing is a sham as well - known as 'AstroTurfing', geddit? - with a few very wealthy business men who want less regulation and taxation funding the movement through various cover organisations. American politics, eh?
