When I saw Jesse La Greca (Jesus the Greek) being (non) interviewed by Faux News in a recent diary, I couldn't help but admire his head gear: a Union soldier kepi cap. I am now wearing this pro-American, anti-secession and anti-slavery bit of headgear as part of my uniform of the day, every day. Jesse's vid and a pic of a kepi cap below the fold.
Anti-slavery, pro-Union, and pro union. USA! USA!
Here's Jesse:
Here's my hat (though mine has a set of crossed cavalry rifles in the front):
Anti-slavery, pro-Union, and pro union. USA! USA!
I have nothing to do with these hats and I don't sell them. I bought mine on eBay for about 8 bucks (US). Immediately wore it to the supermarket and had two people catch my eye, nod, and smile quietly.
A guy I ride with on the bus saw me reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and immediately started railing about how Lincoln was "the worst president we ever had except maybe FDR, yeah, FDR was worse." I greet this fellow rider with a cheery daily "Obama take your guns away yet?" I can't wait to doff my kepi to him this morning.
