Bush is restricting science. And, again I ask: This is news?
More on the Air Force Academy.
One on the flag. Um. Isn't it against the fucking flag code to wear flags as clothing? And aren't those the Baby Bushes? Argh.
Hey, maybe if they pass that amendment some good will come of it. We can arrest Shrubboy for desecration.
One on caskets... comments are interesting.

One of the Baby Bushes wore a Flag dress to some ceremony too. Yes, I believe it is against the flag code, but I think that was narrowed to meaning that you can't take an actual flag and turn it into clothing, not that you can't wear something with a flag image on it.

Gods, Right-wingers have such short, selective memories.

But then, Bush can get away with flag-desecration. After all, he's the President, and we're at war, so how dare you question him, you commie-terrorist-liberal-feminazi scumbag?!?

Plus, the flag code is suggestion, not law.

Is it? I remember reading somewhere it was law, but wondering why that was never enforced. That would make much more sense.

I don't think it was ever law. If it was, that was overturned in the Supreme Court decision that ruled that flag burning was free speech.
