I am madder than a blind man in a needle factory over THIS news story! What on earth were they thinking down in Tennessee? I thought that ever since God kicked that jew Al Gore out of the presidency, they had gone red state.....
I only pray that Brother Marshall doesn't get wind of this. It would break his heart.
Well that explains a lot. His mother was a lezbean and so he became a patchouly-smoking hippie who fries Godly American flags on satan's orders. Truly revolting.

Curator removes deep-fried flag
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- An art exhibit featuring several deep-fried American flags is desecration and not welcome in this military town, according to the museum director who ordered it removed.
Executive Director Ned Crouch took down the exhibit Wednesday, less than 18 hours after it appeared at the Customs House Museum.
Austin Peay State University art student William Gentry said his piece, "the Fat is in the Fire," is meant as a commentary on obesity in America.
"I deep-fried the flag because I'm concerned about America and about America's health," Mr. Gentry said.
The exhibit featured three U.S. flags imprinted with phrases including "Poor people are obese because they eat poorly," and dozens of smaller flags fried in peanut oil, egg batter, flour and black pepper.
Mr. Crouch said the timing of the piece could also cause "incendiary reactions."
"Never in the history of the country has the flag been more hated, or more loved," Mr. Crouch said.
Mr. Gentry said he isn't ignorant of the patriotism of military communities.
"I completely understand the emotion that is tied to the flag," Mr. Gentry said. "My mother died while on active duty."
He said his mother, Jane Epson, had been in the military 21 years when she died in 1997, and his father, William Gentry, retired after 23 years in the military.
