So much political fodder.

Betsy's Page —
... and Sarah Palin, as well as relieved them of the cost of 12,000 such flags â as well as a full 3â²x5â² flag that also wound up in the trash. Remember when the DNCC was supposed to be the âgreenest convention everâ? How they worried about the color of the food and using organic materials in their merchandise?

Well, they DID get recycled, but not by the DNC.
