Breaking flag news!
Minnesota is redesigning her flag.
The current colors provocatively called,
quote, “worst in the union,”
by some YouTuber,
Minnesota asked for submissions,
received thousands,
out of which selected six,
then thinned to three.
One of which,
to be picked as new before end of the year.
Which of the three will it be?
Doubtless many Minnesotans
[and YouTubers]
will want to weigh in,
and I will,
because breaking flag news is rare and exciting.
So exciting that this is my SECOND
Minnesota flag redesign video.
