Pardon me while I rant


Maybe it's my Boy Scout training, but I don't like to see American flags left out in rainy weather or overnight without being illuminated.

So imagine how I felt when I looked out of the window of a coworker's office on the 20th floor of the CiN Weekly building (OK. So it's actually the Enquirer building if you want to get technical) and saw this tattered U.S. flag that fell off its pole on the roof of the building across the street at 209 W. Fourth St.

According to the county auditor's Web site, the building is owned by "BSF III-B LLC" in Columbus. If anyone knows someone over there, show them this picture. It's been like this for months.

Enough of my ranting. Who else has a complaint to file?

You should send someone high up at that company an e-mail. That's what we did after a giant flag went missing for months outside of our apartment, and now it's back!

Now that you mention it, doesn't it drive you crazy when people can't use apostrophe's correctly? Same goes fore homonyms.

Nice work you anti-american. I bet you will start asking people who don't iron their flags to take them down to.

Hey, you, anonymous one. I think your mom used too much starch when she ironed your underwear today. Mr. Love was just tryin' to show a lil' love for the U.S. of A. Lighten up.

I know you said you had become a full fledge supporter of the Bengals this year. Will you be rooting for the Steelers in the Super Bowl?

I'll be rooting for no more bad Huxtable family jokes.
