to an unknown audience
The AP this week reported an actual use of the United States flag as a symbol and for other than knee-jerk jingoistic purposes:
In a gesture of gratitude for the Supreme Court's decision striking down a Texas sodomy law, gay-rights activists lowered the huge rainbow flag that flies over [San Francisco]'s Castro District and hoisted the Stars and Stripes in its place.That is what I call pride to be an American.—"Gays Praise Court Ruling," Associated Press

The Astros have been in even worse shape, using three starters with less than two years of major-league experience. Signing Clemens to go with right-hander Roy Oswalt and left-hander Andy Pettitte again gives them a legitimate Big Three once again. If Clemens, after several minor-league tuneups, proves anywhere near as good as he was last season, he will give the team precisely the lift it needs.
