Does anyone know what that pin on Biden's right lapel is?

Did anyone else see Romney's America Flag lapel pin's weird red spot?

If Jay Leno Wants Better Reviews He Can Start By Removing the Lapel Flag by John Nolte Critics love David Letterman. They love him because he’s mean and liberal and does everything they demand: further the leftist agenda through the brutal use of humiliation to target any public figure (or their child) who might derail Leftist causes. And contrary to conventional wisdom, Letterman’s not edgy. In fact, he’s just the opposite. Doing exactly what those who can criticize you want you to do is not edgy. Kissing the big Manhattan/Los Angeles bi-coastal ass of the elite is not edgy. He’s...

Yesterday The Ticket broke the stunning news of America's acquisition of seven, maybe eight, new states, according to future president Barack Obama. He was speaking at the start of a two-day swoop through Oregon, which is already a state.

That's not counting the existing states of...

WILMINGTON, N.C.--Barack Obama defended his commitment to patriotic ideals this afternoon, telling a town hall meeting in North Carolina that "I always have the flag in my heart."

The "FRIENDSHIP (LAPEL) PIN" While commenting on another FR thread this past night/morning, I did a basic search for lapel pins that would show support when worn by us Americans for Denmark, and this is the most interesting result I found, the "Friendship Pin" from a U.S. company ("flagline.com")-- who also sells very well done American flags and many other interesting things. But, as to Denmark items, they offer the Danish flag on cloth, nylon and on dedicated lapel pins, too. I happen to really like this "Friendship Pin," however, and think it really makes the right message.
