No, no cute buttons.
The picture was taken up at Marbled Mountain outside Da Nang during Tet 68. I was AWOL from the hospital and my skipper told me to take a few days off (we were working out of Da Nang and the boat was getting patched up). I took the opportunity to visit my high school running partner.
Good one!
It is true that Palin is - appearance & fashion wise - a girly girl, and that might take some getting used to when compared to the somber & sobering realities of the Executive Branch.
But if Alaska was cool with it, I can be, too!
“No, it isn’t. Paperboy hats aren’t dark green like that.”
Of course they are. If I dig deep enough in my closets, I will find one just like it along with the granny dress, pea jacket and wire rimmed glasses I wore in 1964.
Oh yeah, and the iron I used to straighten my hair.
And that pin I never returned to that Middie!
Thank-you for birthing a very informative thread.
Its sorta like an online ink-blot test. Amazing responses.
The only similarity is it has a brim and the color. My wife was kind to point out that what she is wearing is a 'casquette' hat that was popular in the 20s and is becoming popular again. 
Ayn Rand was also known to sometimes wear this style of hat. Baseball hats had their origins with the casquette hat.
Get over yourself. If you are a guy making these comments, I would suggest coming out of the closet if you are that fashion conscious. If you are a woman, I would guess bitter jealousy. My wife has a hat similar to that and she looks damn cute in it.
This looks like the real thing:
Just change the color to Olive .
Remember during the campaign we had a troll complain she wore “Hitler” boots.
Yep, at that Olive is one of the options. Of course, a troll will now call her on being a ‘San Francisco Liberal’ because the name of the hat from that store is a ‘San Francisco hat’.
Jeeze, some folks really need a life.
This thread wasn't too bad! I like Palin, and I don't think her hat has anything to do with Castro, but to be honest, I WAS expecting some FR discussion of her hat when I saw those pictures - it is quite a hat!
Aquabird could certainly use help in his fashion-accessory-naming-skills, but didn't imply that Palin wants to dictate and impoverish people like the petty ruler of Cuba. If you look at his posting history here, you'll see that he isn't a bad egg or troll - at least one that this greybeard can determine....
FREE AQUABIRD!!!
