I seriously doubt NPR has a US flag. its probably a UN or Soviet flag, or maybe one with the CPUSA's hammer & cog symbol.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Three flag poles attached to the building — one each to hold the USSR, Saudi crescent, and homosexual rainbow fa...er, flags.

That photo was taken outside of Boston City Hall in 1978? A kid that worked for me was a close friend of the Flag welder, from Charlestown if I remember correctly.

I was born down on "A" Street,
Raised up on "B Street,
Southie is my hometown;
There is something about it,
Permit me to shout it,
It is tops for miles around!

We have doctors and flappers,
Preachers and scrappers,
Men from the Old County down;
They will take you & break you,
But they'll never forsake you;
For Southie is my hometown!

HAVE A COOL YULE!

I believe the flag wielder was attacking the black man over his support for bussing. By bussing I mean desegregating schools.
