TV is reporting that less than a week since the attack and there are shortages of American Flags all across the nation. (My kids had to go to 5 stores before they found some)

Hey Cherri.. wake up now !!! what a moron to report a "Shortage" of Flags... You should work for CNN since you can only state opinion instead of fact.

What an idiot you are Cherri.

This is a great shortage! Its a reawakening of patriotism.

Sandy and I bought some red, white and blue ribbon and made a streamer for the antenna of our Evil Foreign-made NWO-compliant Isuzu Rodeo. :)

John, You understood. Some other people are a little slow about catching on *grin*.

Ten proposed new laws for this crisis

1. To buy an American flag, you must present proof you have voted at least once in the last three elections (yes, local and state elections count).

2. To display an American flag in any form, you must present proof of voter registration.

3. To wave an American flag in public, you must be able to name at least one of the following: A. Your Senator B. Your Representative C. Your President ("George Bush" does not count; ambiguous)

4. To sell any product with an American flag on it, you must answer the following question: The Bill of Rights is part of: the Constitution; the Magna Carta; the Declaration of Independence.

5. Those heard singing patriotic songs in public may be asked to show their voter registration cards.

6. To be permitted to scream "Nuke Afghanistan," you must be able to correctly locate Afghanistan on a map or globe.

7. To be permitted to scream "Arabs go home," you must list and correctly locate ten Arab homelands.

8. Those who wish to express opinions about Arabs and Arab-Americans must pass the following test: A. Those who follow the religion of Islam are called: Moslems Muslins Fanatics B. The holy book of Islam is called: The Koran The Koram The Bible C. In Arabic, God is called: Ali Allah Jehovah

9. Priority for purchase of American flags will be given to those whose ancestors lived on American soil the longest. When all American Indians who wish to display the red, white and blue are satisfied, other applicants will be accepted.

10. A call for war on any radio talk-show will be construed as a public declaration of willingness to enlist in the US Army; callers will have 24 hours to complete the paperwork.
