Wishing Michael Moore was Here

I really wish I had a camera last night, during a stroll down the boardwalk of Wildwood with J.
It was a lovely night--not crowded, perfectly cool. The boardwalk has its charms: the short shorts you can buy, that have words on the butt like, "Phil's Ass" or "Billy's Bitch"; the VonBaby T-shirts, the smell of fried dough and all that good stuff. I was enjoying all of this, until out of the corner of my eye, I saw an awning in neon lights that had the word, "Iraq" on it. As I got closer, the words that preceeded it came into view: "ATTACK THE IRAQ".
This apparently, was a "shoot the bullseye" game, where you can pay however many bucks to shoot at a live moving target, dressed in Talibanesque gear (its the new black). It also didn't even make sense: "Attack the Iraq"? What does that mean? Were they too lazy to leave off the "i"? Or they just really wanted the word "the" there? If I'm missing something here, please let me know.
Flanking the teenage boy who was hawking at passers-by, "Take your best shot, come one come all", were two larger than life-size dolls of Osama and Saddam. And above it all, was a sign that read, "We support our troops. Come home soon." Sentimentality?!
My jaw is still on the floor. I'm even more ashamed of the Jersey Shore than I already was...It's good to be back home.
Fireworks and a party on our roof on Sunday!
