Laugh-In Looks At The News...
NEWS ITEM!
Around the world, they are rioting. We in this country (or we, the newsmedia in this country) scratches its complex, perfectly coiffed head and shrugs it's Armani shoulders and says plainly: Well, they don't have free speech. They don't understand. Quell reactionaries!
Yet this country, and now I mean the actual people in this country, have become convinced over the last thirty years of Arab hatred of us by one repeated image. People in Tehran, in Palestine, in Damascus, in wherever, burning the American flag. We point at the television, aghast. They burn a piece of cloth! We must buy their oil like a crackwhore and prop up dictators so they don't have free speech.
At least the Prophet Mohammad was a man, not a flag. We hold symbols higher than principles, too, Franny. Witness many, many bills that would hand out jailtime for BURNING A PIECE OF CLOTH.
NEWS ITEM!
Funny to see Bush sitting there at Coretta Scott King's funeral. You know what she and her husband lived under for many years? Wiretaps.
NEWS ITEM!
Not only are we at Fat Charlie mourning the death of Coretta Scott King, but recall that Betty Friedan died recently as well. The sixties icons may be shuffling off the mortal coil, but let us not lose the greater message. Equality, peace, justice... not just advertising lingos or John Lennon songs.

But if you have two bags placed next to each other and see below, in addition to others who should be able easily to say the bag is real and what is wrong.
