Did I forget to mention that I am a comic genius? (Of course, I am here defining "comic genius" in the narrow sense, i.e.: "was one of ten people who won a cheap t-shirt from the Letterman show for submitting an item they used for an online Top Ten list.")

The topic was "Top Ten Iraq Tourism Slogans." My entry is number six. Here's the list:
Top Ten Iraq Tourism Slogans

10. According To Our Former Minister of Information, The Surfing Is Better Than In Hawaii
James H., Valparaiso, IN

9. Pardon Our Dust! We're Democratizing!
Jay S., Ventura, CA

8. Come See Our Newly Created Future Ancient Ruins
Randy P., Thornton, CO

7. No More Worrying About Giant Statues Falling On You!
Mark McL., Philadelphia, PA

6. Take Home Priceless Antiquity From Our National Museum (while supplies last)
John R., Ft. Lauderdale, FL

5. If You Find Any Weapons of Mass Destruction, Your Stay Is Free!
Tom McC., Durham, NC

4. 10% Discount If You Say "George Sent Me"
Stephen M., Camino, CA

3. Free Rides For The Kids On Saddam's Statue's Disembodied Head!
John K., Baltimore, MD

2. Now Constituting An Axis Of FUN!

1. Holy Shiite, This Is A Great Place!

And if that's not worth the $3.62 they'll spend on the shirt, plus 78 cents in shipping costs, what is?

I'm sure this will be the beginning of a long, succesful career of t-shirt freeloaderism wherever I can find a media entity giving away cheap crapola.
