"...
Sen. Vaneta Becker, R-Evansville, has introduced a bill that would set specific "performance standards" for singing and playing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at any event sponsored by public schools and state universities.

Hey, Indiana Current posters: Are all of your state's problems fixed? Does a state senator really have time to be trying to legislate just how the national anthem is to be preformed at public schools and colleges? Take this woman down a few pegs. At least point out that the tune is actually an old British drinking song, so the addition of Keye's poem as lyrics is actually a sort of satire to begin with.
Then, there's that whole free speech thing. If burning a flag is protected, parodies of songs just might be too.
GOP pols: no real answers to any/all the problems facing Americans, no solutions, no acknowledgement that there are some real problems, no clue. They just know they have to divert attention from the fact that they are posers.

Sorry about completely irrelevant picture. Again, the limitations of the site for editing OUT images is not my friend, And after several tries, the site is not getting the job done to allow for changing the image.
