That's what he did for work while in grad school and after, while he was running for Congress, in fact. If you're a cowboy, you can wear the hat. Nebraskans can tell a real one.

the wingnuts have taken over the party there, much like everywhere else. And the people they took it over from were pretty conservative. Jon Christensen in particular was a moran for the ages.

That's where the hats were! Baseball hats are popular with ranchers now, as well as farmers.
