Should've waited until July 4 perhaps. But the long-running trend of people decked out in uber-patriotic American flag shorts, shirts, jackets, etc has always sorta gotten my goat (this could be easily extended to pick-up truck decals of eagles crying in front of flag backdrops). So post the funniest examples you can find of such here (the title is something derisive the wife and I always blurt out when we come across this stuff).

I guess my contribution isn't exactly what you were looking for, but there is an eagle sitting on a dog so I'm hoping that will make it okay.

YIKES, that crying eagle. Well, my country has soccerplaying lions, I guess that's not much better.

appros of nothing, from Wikipedia:
"Initially, the Meadow Party was unsure of who to nominate for the 1984 ticket. Early suggestions included Mr. Spock, John Glenn, and Erik Estrada. Portnoy later remarked that the party should have nominated Jesse Jackson and Jesse Helms for the ticket ("Let's alienate everybody!").
At caucus time, the party nominated Bloom County resident Limekiller for the office of president, and the reluctant Opus the penguin for the office of vice president.
However, the choice of Limekiller for the Oval Office turned out to be a short-lived one, as the party dropped him from the Meadow ticket after he made an off-color remark about his campaign committee. He was replaced on the ticket by the deceased Bill the Cat.
Bill later came back to life and reappeared during the party's convention in San Francisco. Afterwards, the Meadow Party continued campaigning as usual. They even went so far as to attempt to gain endorsement from Michael Jackson. At one point, after the party's funds had become nonexistent, Milo Bloom organized a benefit concert that included groups such as Culture Club, Van Halen, and The Police.
Tragedy struck on Election Day when Bill ran off to lead a Rajneeshee Cult. The Meadowcrats lost the election."
