Flag in the window.

A commenter drew attention to the flag in the window (along with a Kerry-Edwards sign) in this photo (second image) and seemed think it was just a meaningless decorating choice. But the American flagas a window treatment dates back to the hippie era. I'm not sure why it became so easily comprehensible that the flag stood for the anti-war position back then, but the old practice has lived on.

What other flags can be seen in Madison windows? There's this:

Madison's East Side.

Clearly the small American flag in this window is a statement rather than decoration. However the pirate flag would serve the minimal decorating needs of its owner. My guess would be that he isn't Laotian.

Ahoy there me hearties!

Okay, enough. Pirate-talk only gets you so far on AnnPundit.

But I did want to say that I'm glad my Kerry-Edwards banner comment got Ann to show us more pics of that Laotian resto.

BTW, if an upside-down flag in the Vietnam era carried anti-American implications...

...what implications do a sideways Jolly Roger carry?

BTW, lol @ the Raiders comment.

Cheers,
