Hmm, the Washington Times thought enough of this story to give it an EXCLUSIVE headline start. Of course these flags should be replaced asap (and put the blame where it belongs, on maintenance) but I wonder when they'll start reporting on Chuck Norris's new flag project? I emailed the author of this piece, we'll see what she has to say. (PS- check out the comments on what kind of people do this to a flag. Amazingly, breathtakingly obtuse)
...The flags - in various states of disrepair - were captured in photos and videos by The Washington Times as they rippled atop the Rayburn, Cannon and Longworth office buildings where the 435 members of the House of Representatives and their aides go to work each day. Congressional staffers and other passers-by didn't even notice the poor state of the Stars and Stripes until a reporter pointed it out.
"If you are going to fly it, then fly it properly and replace it when it's in the condition [like] the one I'm looking at right now,["] a woman on the Capitol grounds said about a flag over the Rayburn House Office Building.
