Oh lordy, now two of our number are playing the Deutschland Uber Alles card.

Just to balance the long-lost-causes displays, should we start showing these?

One of my amusing Ohio stories - I was living outside Cincinnati when the attacks on 9/11 happened.  There was a guy in the neighborhood who had a pickup truck.  The Stars and Stripes were flying on a pole on the driver's side of the bed.  The Stars and Bars were on the right.  In the middle, on the windshield was a sticker - United We Stand.

I am at a loss to guess whether the owner understood the irony.

I'm still curious how the independence for Scotland vote will go...

We can send Texas Gov. Rick Perry over to help exhort the masses about independence.

On second thought, that might cause a Scottish-American incident.

The Scots would never be able to understand him (and vice versa)

Hadn't thought of that.  The world is probably safer if those with a Scots accent can't communicate with a gent having a strong Texas drawl.   ;D

(Perry actually doesn't have that strong an accent, but we can always hope.)
