Hi, folks. Did you miss me? I've been busy.

PS: a flag's a piece of fabric. Any flag. While the US Flag Code makes it a crime to deface or alter it, there have been rednecks in american flag shirts and hippies burning it long before anyone stuck Obama's face on it, and it's all always been protected by your First Amendment because the Flag Code is unconstitutional if you try to apply it criminally, making it advisory at best. Why yes, I *am* a month late to that conversation, and am joining it anyway.
