Mexican sombreros would be more appropriate.

Having to listen to bagpipes is worse than water boarding! Personally I’d rather be shot by one of those 40 cal hollow points than have to listen to a screeching windbag like Napalitano. Pun intended.

LI 031 Black Bass Beaters. Would go well with the tapered reamer.
Janet is planning something kinky.

If Big Sis can’t get under some poor guy’s kilt with that Tapered Reamer, all she has to do is yank his Non-slip Grap Patch and Zipper.

This is very interesting.

So Zero *is* bulding DHS into a personal Praetorian thing, with Parade units?

Remember who else had an obsession with scottish parade finery?

Idi Amin.

There’s got to be a Weiner joke in here someplace.

A lot of similarities but our brief-a$$ resident will need to eat a few more of his subjects to fit into Idi’s trousers.

This sounds like they (Hopefully) will be purchasing Red Uniforms and when they come for ‘our guns’ they will march through the woods and fields in columns, with pipers and drummers in all their finery marking cadence.

It worked once before so it should work again.

Instead of shooting the American People.She can torture them instead using bagpipes.

I couldn’t think of a bigger waste of money.Like homeland security really needs bagpipes to boost its oversized ego.

I think strategically placed bagpipes along the border would effectively reduce illegal immigration. Guns and bullets are only a threat, the sound of a bagpipe is real!

Hmm....spats, blue hose, leather day sporrans, horsehair sporrans, and Sgian Dubhs. No other Scots clothing. Sounds like one kinky full Monty pipe and drum corps.
