but not recently, so humor a geezer.

Watched TV and didn't leave the house all day 9/11.
On 9/12, this old bed-wetting commie lefty did NOT go to Wal-Mart and buy a flag. I went to the cedar chest where we store flags (among other things) and got it out and put it on the pole that fits in the holder on the oak tree out front.

Then I went on my usual 3 mile walk through my conservative (mostly) neighborhood. Not another single flag in sight.

A week or so later, when I realized the direction the (mis)administration was taking on the situation, the political windfall they were making out of it, I went out and brought my flag in. Maybe I'll put it back up after the next election.
Maybe.
