Dallas man says the July 4th flag he bought has 61 stars
   
Like many Americans, Tim Childress of Dallas bought an American flag to help celebrate the Fourth of July.

He was a little taken aback, however, when he found that the flag bought at a Dollar Tree store not only has the requisite 50 stars denoting the states, it tacks on an extra 11 stars, WFAA-TV reports.

"You can kind of see the stars are all crooked, and if you count them, there's actually 61 stars," he said.

Childress concedes he paid only a dollar for the flag but says the Dollar Tree and the Virginia marketing company could do a bit better, and he sent them an e-mail pointing out the error.

And Obama was heard saying, "And the problem is?"

As our President said, there are 57 states.

Actually 60 states he said one more to go and Alaska and Hawaii were left too.

...and since they don't have graveyards yet, we'll have to wait and see how many people live in them.

I take that to mean that the main purveyors of Chinese hate are the DUmp Monkeys that ate ALL the lead paint off their cinder block bedroom walls as a small child.

IMO, a lot closer to the truth than one might think.

It's not so much the Chinese they hate...I mean after all they share identical political philosophies...it's more that they hate Bill Clinton and the DLC and this is how they express said hatred without getting banned.

Hey DUmbasses!  My parents own a flag business, and nearly all the new customers, whether in person/phone/internet ask whether their flags are made in the United States.  To my folks' knowledge, they've never in 40 years sold an American flag that was made anywhere but the good ol' US of A.  It's not that hard to find out.  Most companies are still proud to be manufacturing in the United States.

Stop buying Chinese shit, you dumb ****ing redneck.

And if the union workers make flags the way they make cars, the flag will have 103 stars on it.

I'm sure this nitwit buys nothing but American itself, right?

Well with a handle like "Codiene", what do you expect, genius?

At least "RedNeck" knew enough to question the number of stars!

More likely 42 or 43.
