Waving the flag at gezegde

 You see that flag up there. We call her Old Glory, the stars and stripes forever. I fought under that flag, as did so many of those people who were here tonight and all across the country.

  Eddie Izzard

 Flying in to pick up the sand bags we had to pick up, there was one gentleman sitting on the river bank pretty much, by himself holding the American flag, and with the wind generated by the propellers the flag was waving perfectly,

  Bo Diddley

 You have opened, in your country, your road to the future, ... My victory is the victory of everyone. Each person has the right to find his way and choose his colors but, dear friends, our choice is the choice of the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

 I don't know what to say. I'm happy and sad all at the same time. It was only a matter of time before conservatives reared their ugly head. These are banner days for Democrats.
