I've Been Away


For the past five days, my family has been to Greeley, Colorado, the "Communist Capital of America", as proclaimed by a resident.

But not just there.

We stayed at Two Eagles Resort, located between Loveland and Estes Park, and ate crepes and creme brulee that my Coloradan sister and brother-in-law ever so skillfully prepared.

A more descriptive... description shall follow this post, including the live orchestra and the legend of "Big Thom".

The Anti-Confederate Flag, by Ed Sebesta



Edward Sebesta has created this vexillogical masterpiece, lauding it as the "Anti-Confederate Flag".

He says, in his blog post introducing this flag, "...the flag should have an appealing design so that people want to wear it because it has an appealing design."

1) I'm sorry to disappoint you, Ed, but this flag isn't appealing.

2) Why would you design a flag to be worn? Aren't you supposed to "fly" a flag? After the design is appreciated on the pole and accepted, people make t-shirts and hats and license plates, not the other way around. Maybe you should've made it a logo design?

3) This cannot easily be interpreted as being anti-Confederate. Perhaps you should just fly the Confederate flag upside-down?



Never mind, I don't think anyone would notice then, either.

The stars would be pointing downward, but I think people would be led to assume you were a Confederate occultist; defeats the purpose, eh?

Don't Tread on My Cactus!

The Official Seal of The United Mexican States



Have you ever seen a more violent emblem or seal of an officially recognized country?

A golden eagle killing a rattlesnake on a cactus. Um, ouch?

Interestingly, a favorite symbol of the American people is the rattlesnake.

How would they like it if we came up with a flag that shows a rattlesnake strangling a golden eagle?

Hey, rattlers are tough, it could happen...

Pizza, Coloradan Style

Funny people!



How long do you cook it? You have a cooking show, and you don't tell people how long to cook it?

Shameful!

So You Ain't Confused

I created this blog to put all of the things that just didn't belong anywhere else.

Prepare to be dazzled.
