Flying Foreign Flags Banned in Nevada Town
In what Reuters describes as "the latest swipe by a U.S. community at illegal immigrants," the Mojave Desert town of Pahrump has voted to ban flying a foreign flag above the American flag or on its own.
Explained board clerk Paul Willis:
All of the illegal alien protesters are waving Mexican flags, and we just got tired of it. This is the United States, and the Stars and Stripes should fly supreme.
If you have a problem with that, you probably don't belong in Pahrump, Nevada.
On a tip from Wiggins.

Did you know Pahrump's other claim to fame is that it's where you can see the Bonnie and Clyde death car? It's at Whiskey Pete's Casino. I saw it as a kid...gruesome! :-)
