BRINK LINDSEY honors Flag Day by exhuming the British drinking song ("To Anacreon in Heaven") that supplied the tune to "The Star Spangled Banner." His conclusion:
Is this a great country or what? Our national anthem is a patriotic parody of a party song that's all about entwining "the Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine" -- or, in other words, getting drunk and doing the nasty. Take that, Osama!
Hmm. Think I'll make a special effort to, ahem, demonstrate my patriotism this weekend.
