...gallery nervous. I had fun. As I went to the next few events similar things kept happening. I met some guys that I liked, some guys that I didn’t, and found myself moving on to the next step in the process. I saw and did some stupid things, like snorting a spoonful of vodka at the swanky final dinner. But I didn’t see any really awful things, though it did feel awful to have vodka in my sinuses. The worst of the club, it seemed, was stuff that reminded me of being dumb...

The company has designed other t-shirts with similarly daring slogans, like “Do I Make You Look Fat?,” “I’m Not With Stupid Anymore,” or the endearing “I Had A Nightmare I Was A Brunette.” In some quarters, though, these t-shirts are raising outcries instead of a few good-natured chuckles.

A masterpiece of understatement, The Whale Caller is the real winner among this year...
Marine officers say they aren't surprised by the insurgents' resilience. "I know this counterinsurgency is frustrating," Major Dan Williams tells members of Fox Company after another fruitless day of chasing enemy fighters. "But you've almost had insurgency Darwinism. All the stupid ones are dead." The Marines aren't getting much help in their efforts to outsmart their adversaries. Residents who are reluctant to help the U.S. identify insurgents are equally unwilling to cooperate with the U.S.-trained Iraqi forces, whom some xenophobic Fallujis consider foreigners. The cops are public-order battalions from Baghdad, and the Iraqi army units...
