Baghdad Bric-a-Brac
Direct from Baghdad, courtesy Wonkette's They're Everywhere Operative, Maj. Bob Bateman, the "Saddam Hussein-George Bush commemorative F-16 Fighting Falcon cigarette lighter."
My inner hick screamed out in joy. Yes, there you have it, the Saddam Hussein-George Bush commemorative F-16 Fighting Falcon cigarette lighter. Notice the fine workmanship, the details, the loving craftwork which went into this. Special features include: A clear blue-tinted plastic outline of an F-16, set between the two raised images of President Bush and Saddam Hussein. Behind this blue-tinted plastic are several Light Emitting Diodes, which, when you raise the aluminum cast F-16 which serves as the lid, light up in RED, WHITE, and BLUE. The aluminum cast F-16 which serves as a lid is a model of accuracy. When you ignite this fine lighter, by means of the button, you get not just some boring little flame. Noooooo. You get the cigarette lighter equivalent of an F-16 going into full afterburner mode, complete with a changing color of the flame (from initial colorless, to blue, to green). And, if you did not yet notice….THE WHOLE DAMNED THING IS IN THE SHAPE OF A HEART!!!
