Here's the story that broke on my show last Friday
WND is reporting...
Business owner told to dump U.S. flags
Stars and stripes in windows of shop violate city ordinance
A Florida business owner has been cited by the city of Orlando for displaying several U.S. flags in the windows of her office building – and a religious-freedom law group has gone to bat for her
According to a statement from Liberty Counsel, Nancy Maddox, the owner of Peacock Home Collection, has been targeted by Orlando's Code Enforcement Bureau because of the small flags hanging on the outside of 15 windows at her home furnishings company. The flags measure no larger than 34 ½ inches by 23 inches.
Liberty Counsel says the city has ordered the flag's immediate removal. A violation hearing is scheduled for Sept. 14.
The legal organization has contacted the city citing alleged procedural defects in the citation and warning that the sign ordinance used against Maddox is unconstitutional.
I have extended an invitation to Mike Rhodes, Manager of Orlando's Code Enforcement Division to join me on the show to discuss the code violations. Let's see if he accepts.

The August Annual Schmoozfest
I just got back from the August Annual. The August Annual is August Capital's schmoozefest and while it is not actually in August, it is indeed annual.
Nice to see some decent content for a change. FYI, I log on today and see that we've got a new feature, the 'Flag blog' button, which is inconveniently located between the 'Get Your Own Blog' and 'Next Blog' buttons so that we would presumably be getting some flags on error alone (although if one happens to notice it, you can unflag a blog) But that's a trivial matter. What concerns me is this: When a person visiting a blog clicks the "Flag?" button in the Blogger Navbar, it means they believe the content of the blog may be potentially offensive or illegal. We track the number of times a blog has been flagged as objectionable and use this information to determine what action is needed. This feature allows the blogging community as a whole to identify content they deem objectionable. Ok, see the problem with this? What's "objectionable." I'm guessing there are a good deal of people that would likely deem my blog to be objectionable; and there lies the problem: what is objectionable and what is subjective.
