Odds Are 3-1 He Wrote "Bring Them On ... Yours Truly, GWB"

It's been a week and I have yet to see any outcry from the various groups of flag worshipers about President Bush's disrespect for the American flag.

Then again, the flag worshipers have never made much sense to me. On one hand, they tend to be "God and country" folk, but they also go ahead and push for mandatory reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance in schools. And such a law seems to go against both the First Amendment and the First Commandment.

As for the president - my guess is that he was thinking that like a quarterback who signs footballs after games, he signs flags after public appearances. But he was still in violation of U.S. code.
