PhillySound: new poetry

According to Bill Frist on yesterday's Fox News Sunday, flag burning and gay marriage are urgent priorities. He plans to introduce bills in the Senate to prevent both this summer, to be known as the "burn fags not flags" amendment. So it’s obvious that this is a pathetic ploy to rally the conservative base unhappy with an administration that cannot prosecute an effective war, spies on Americans, takes money from first responders in NYC and leaves an American city to fend for itself in swamp ruin. But flag burning? Come on. When is the last time you saw a flag burning? I don’t even think they do that in West Philly anymore. Can Karl Rove orchestrate a flag burning at a gay wedding so the Senate can come to our rescue?
