Friday, October 19 – This space has been rather quiet lately. We spent about a week hammering on 1s and 0s to make our new Distribution map work. Then we had to scurry to organize a rather large number of letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, photographs, and miscellaneous other components into something that vaguely resembles a newspaper. We’re pleased to report that the paper is now on the street, and in the mail.

Among other things, it includes an account of the Flag Police’s encounter with the shamefully-tattered flag shown at right. They spotted it right across the street from The Clip Joint.

The Flag Police will never understand why so many people are so ready to gnaw chunks off the First Amendment in a futile effort to “protect” the flag from spirited-if-misguided flag-burners who are trying to make this a better country, and so few notice scandalous displays such as this.
