This tattered flag flies over the shoe garden near Rice, California. You've seen the shoe garden and shoe fence before, but not the flag. So here it is.

You're not supposed to display a flag when it's that ragged. It needs to be mercifully burned and put out of its misery.

  True. But that's pure, grade A, wild grown Americana.

Where is that? It looks like a nice place to go to get away from the current sh*t show. Maybe rent an RV for 4 years

Obviously symbolism. You're signaling that, while American liberal democracy is being beaten, it will survive.

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
