Flag as a Misunderstanding



Local crazy hermit Flip Barstow honored American Servicemen and women this past Memorial day the only way he knew how, by creating a new flag to display by the gravestones of vetrans buried in the Orcas Island cemetary.

Though initially acussed of vandalism for not once, but twice burning the current American flags on display and replacing them with his homemade flags featuring swastikas on them, he claimed it was all a part of the rebirth of one of the most revered symbols of the American nation.

"It's all just a misunderstanding," Barstow said. "I just made up that design while I was doodling on a pad while I worked from home as an AOL phone tech service guy. For whatever reason, it spoke to me about American politics and stuff."

When asked why he chose the Nazi logo to represent the land of the free and home of the brave, he simply scratched his head and asked if Nazi's were anything like Potsy from the show Happy Days.
