Not sure this deserved a whole new thread after just 4 days...

But it was a good little piece. And I loved the Busy Box on the right side.

Sharpies don't desecrate American flags, people do

I thought we established that it was OK so long as he actually changed the rules, and didn't just break them, delmoi... executive orders and all that.
