2+ months into Terror War I ...and the flags are already in tatters!  Everywhere you look: threads.

Of course, I'm referring here in America to the flags "newly" displayed from cars, trucks, busses and motorcycles.  The winds of war have wrought a rapid ravage upon them in about as much time as one could run comfortably a la Forrest Gump from east coast to west.  Imagine if this war wears on as the President and others suggest...for 5 or 10 years!!  The country will be replete with vehicles bearing flag-rags indistinguishable from a really kinky girl's torn pair of panties.  Hey, I wonder if homespun panties on the end of my antenna would hold up better against highway hurricanes  than my made-in-Taiwan Stars and Stripes??!!

But don't laugh--perhaps we're looking at this all wrong.  I'm thinking that in years to come, displaying a tattered flag will be as rogue as fashioning pre-worn jeans and threadbare baseball caps in swank party situations on sultry saturday nights.  Could be in a year or so vendors will start marketing pre-worn Old Glories to peeps who want to make the statement that they've been anti-terror patriots from the very tragical 911-start. 

Yeah...*when Johnny comes speeding home again, hurrah, hurrah...*

Hrmmm...edible flag panties...now there's a perishable proposition!
