Capture the flag
Republicans are pushing an absurd flag-burning amendment. Will their mom 'n' apple pie ploy torch the Democrats?
By Michael Scherer [2006-06-26]

  • Object lessons

    Perhaps instead of offering up the same valid but apparently not effective arguments against this debacle of an amendment, we should provide some object lessons on its absurdity instead.

    I suggest baking a nice big 4th of July cake with the flag on it, and handing out slices to all our fine Senators. Once they've had a slice, let them know they are all now criminally liable, since they've participated in the desecration of a flag (cutting it up, and then literally turning it to shit).

    For those that sputter that that logic is absurd... well, yes. Yes it is. And that is exactly the problem with this amendment.

    -Jeremy
