What in the name of heck is all about. It is just plain silly if you ask me. Would be a waste of an amendment as well for many reasons.

Just politics as usual for idiots. Talk about issues of real substance? Our corporate media? Real issues might get people pissed off so bad they might demand real change! And then where would they be? Our current President doubled the national debt, started a war just to drive the price of oil up so he and his buddies could make a killing, and is oblivious to our economy crumbling around him. But *BY GOD* he wears a flag pin!

Relax, the article was just political satire. The author's entire argument for the flag pin was sarcastic in tone. Just spoofing all those right ring talk show hosts for making such a big deal over a silly issue.

There's also a movie in the works called The 28th Amendmentset to star Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise
as the President and VP.

Phillp Noyce will direct.
