The Flame Represents Bad Things You Shouldn’t Touch

By Ned Resnikoff - Jan 30th, 2009 at 5:11 pm

My former roommate just sent along this article, about the state of the GOP.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The only bright spot in the nation’s capital for Republicans these days seems to be a flame that burns 24 hours a day in the courtyard at the campaign headquarters for Republican senators.

The Eternal Flame of Freedom is near the National Republican Victory Monument, which commemorates the 1994 “Republican Revolution,” when the GOP wrested control of Congress out of Democratic hands.

Even in the cold, snowy days of January, the flame blazes as a beacon of hope for some and as a memory of the days-

Wait, WAIT. They’ve got an eternal flame commemorating what?

First Jerry Falwell gets an eternal flame and now this.
