Stardate 20011010.2008 (Crew, this is the Captain): The baseball game continues, and it's seventh-inning stretch time. Used to be they'd sing "Take me out to the ballgame" and we television viewers would get an extended ad-break. Now they invariably sing "God Bless America" (a song I really despise) and we all get to watch (with the sound muted). So there they were, panning cameras around showing all sorts of people in the stands singing along with the music, with soft fades and other artistic editing moves to enhance the empty patriotism of the moment, and there are a couple of guys holding a flag which looked like it was a good three meters wide.
A flag with 48 stars.
Don't Hawaii and Alaska count? The flag has had 50 stars since 1959. Where did they find that thing? (discuss)
