America the..umm.. yeah

I was behind a car today that had the following decorations:

1. American flag sticker with UNITED WE STAND
   
2. Playboy bunny
   
3. Very large letters on rear windshield that said GIVE ME DA BOOTY
   
4. To the right and left of the above item, symmetrical naked lady silhouettes of the kind seen on truck mudflaps, except in a Stars and Stripes filled pattern
   

I await the victory of al-Qaeda with mixed emotions.

DANGER

From a movie ad on the radio:

Parental advisory: this film contains nudity, violence, scenes of torture, and language

Please, save us from the Virus from Outer Space.

ominous signs of oncoming stupidity

The real terror of the oncoming anniversary next week is becoming apparent. Flags and "holiday" type crap starting to appear for sale in stores, prophetic onion article about bartender wondering what to do for the anniversary, etc. My work is offering "anniversary syndrome" counseling.

In case anyone is wondering, I plan to spend the 11th hiding in my closet hugging my cat until all the flagschmerz goes away.

WHAT A COUNTRY! as Yakov Smirnoff would say. Did you know he's an artist these days? "I was really nervous about starting this painting. Watching the flag fly proudly over my theater always gave me goose bumps. I was hoping to portray it with honor. I hope I did."
