There was a post in the last year or so of a really over-the-top video from some super patriotic singer. Lots of flags and cheezy pageantry. I remember the guy having long hair and the song was metal ballady. Anyone remember and have a link to what I'm talking about?

Back in late 2001 or 2002 there was a Metafilter link to a Geocities-type page that was a bunch of ridiculous patriotic stuff all heaped on one page, replete with WAV of "boot in your ass the American way" or some such. It was enough to bog down my browser. Any idea where this was? Even the MeFi link would be great just to read the hilarious comments.

If you live in the US, you've probably seen them. Those yellow and red,white and blue magnets that people stick on their cars that look like ribbons, usually saying "Support Our Troops" or something of the sort. I've got a question about them. [MI] [more inside]

When did "God Bless America" replace "Take me out to the ballgame" as the seventh inning stretch song in baseball? Is this just a NYC thing for the ALCS? Or did crackerjack sue someone?

Among musicians making more than a few bucks from patriotic songs (like Toby Keith and the current lineup of Lynyrd Skynyrd), who are actually veterans of the US military? [more inside]
