  Flags won’t hoist or wave themselves, red flags doubly so, and they’re a useful determinant of which way the political winds are blowing, and whether they’re shifting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard-bearer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard-bearer And relatedly, to mix a metaphor, often a dog wags its tail, and it’s not unheard of the tail wagging the dog. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wag_the_dog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wag_the_dog

    Wag the Dog was also a pretty decent movie, as far as comedies about distracting the public during elections go. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=steA_PZPkc8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=steA_PZPkc8

      This was not lost on me. Another movie from that same era I enjoy is The Pentagon Wars about the development of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. It’s one of the better made for TV movies I can remember. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=steA_PZPkc8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=steA_PZPkc8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pentagon_Wars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pentagon_Wars
