It's Take an American Flag to Work Day. Fly one high and proud.

Printable flag here.

Here's the poster I have on my home office wall:

Show your colors. Track back or e-mail your favorite American flag photos.

Reader Paige D. sends her favorite:

Charles Ryder at Age of Hooper was at the Simon Deng Freedom Walk rally yesterday, which called attention to the jihadist war on Christians and horros of slavery in Sudan. He took this picture of Deng, a great American:

The Political Pit Bull picked Old Glory at Ground Zero. Lots of readers sending their favorite images of the flag-raising at Iwo Jima.

Reader Tim Hartigan sends the banner from his company's website and e-mails: "The Flag and our work are intertwined. This is a graphic we proudly display at the top of every page of our website. Our company helps in a small way in supplying our armed forces with the best hardware in the world."

Jon Ham at the John Locke Foundation e-mails a lovely Life cover from 1942 and e-mails: "Imagine a mainstream news magazine doing a cover like this today — the American flag portrayed without sarcastic comment, and with the tag line, “United We Stand,” printed unselfconsciously. This was about seven months after Pearl Harbor. Today that cover would be “Why The Japanese Hate Us So.”

Mike C. sends a photo he took on July 4, 2003 in Chicago:

Reader Jerry B. sends this moving photo he snapped two months before the Sept. 11 attacks and writes: "I took this photo from the circle line on 7/22/2001. Just as I snapped the photo, a breeze put the flag on the back of the boat into the scene. Little did I know…I’m still employed by the company that was the largest tenant at the WTC, and was in lower Manhattan as the events of 9/11 were taking place. This will always be my favorite flag photo."

The Glenn and Helen show podcast today features an interview with Bill Frist about developments on the immigration legislation front.

Glenn proposes that he might barge into the Capitol, McKinney-style, and start conducting business as an "undocumented Senator."

Heh.

Washington Times:

Senate Republicans will filibuster their own immigration bill today in the face of steadfast refusal by Democrats to allow amendments to the bill that many conservatives view as granting amnesty to illegal aliens.

As an alternative, Majority Leader Bill Frist reached an agreement last night with fellow Republicans on a new comprehensive immigration plan that includes increasing border security and a guest-worker plan, but still does not resolve concerns about amnesty.

The new plan would allow illegal aliens who have been in the United States for more than five years to remain in the country working while applying for U.S. citizenship. Those who have been here between two and five years would have to apply for citizenship at a point of entry, but could remain working. Anyone here for less than two years would have to leave the country, but they could still apply for citizenship from their home country.

Mr. Frist declined to tell The Washington Times last night how he would vote on the alternative measure.

Take time out today to e-mail GOP senators: No Amnesty.

When something goes wrong with software, or the computer starts to slows down, I can usually fix it with Norton or Registry Fix. But when hardware fails, I have to run the white flag up, and get help.

It's the same with most of us although I've seen a lot of them here talk about building their own computers, lol.

I stumbled and did build my first computer. Talk about being limited. It had an 8088 processor, MS DOS, 8K memory, 20MB hard drive, with 31/2 and 51/4 floppy drives. I must admit, I was surprised the dumb thing worked on the first try. That didn't last very long, before I got into a much larger computer. Look how far we've come in such a short period of time.

Good for you! Even a "Building Computers for Dummies" book wouldn't help me, lol.

Maybe I titled that book wrong...or maybe right!

You're doing just fine. Most of what goes wrong with these machines can be fixed with common sense. Some of Norton's fix-it tools will work the same if you can just get to your C:\ prompt, and then use DOS commands. Windows is suppose to have all the necessary files to fix these machines, It's locating where they live that's difficult.

Oh, I've got pretty good at fixing a lot of things, sometimes I'm amazed. I got my pager working again last week. I think I've looked in everything in this computer but don't touch what I don't know about!

You are welcome! I've been thinking, perhaps LULAC has just got some bad press in the past. They are fairly prominent where I live and I'd be willing to call
'em up and speak with them, if I had a script just to learn from [don't want to take the wrong approach, you know!]
