Is that a 9 11 in your back drop Mr.President?

[Ferry Fey]

"The flag on right looks unbalanced, it should be "reversed" if all this was just a stage prop. But no, it is turned so it resembles a 911, so it is intentional."<br><br>Wrong.<br><br>It's displayed like that in accordance with the standards of the Flag Code. Though yes, it looks unbalanced and having the star field in that position of upper left seems counter-intuitive.<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Its a bit of a stretch, but the 7x7 block of mini-flags in Bush's 2004 GOP convention backdrop seems more relevant considering today's date, 7/7, and the day's events in London. <p></p><i></i>

From Rigorous Intuition's blog post "Does anyone really know what time it is?":<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>And what, if anything, should we make of the date? 07.07/2005 = 777. Such calculations have never been important to me. But as I've said, it doesn't matter what's important to me; what matters is, what's important to them. And numbers matter a great deal. To a Qabalist, 777 is "traditionally the number of the Flaming Sword or creative Lightning Flash...which, when overlain on the Tree of Life, touches every Sephirah in turn and certain Paths, with a total of 777." 777 is the title of Aleister Crowley's celebrated volume of Qabalistic teachings.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>I completely failed notice that each mini-flag in the 7x7 backdrop has only 7 stripes. <p></p><i></i>
