Giving a break for the Presidents Day holiday - if they can’t deliver mail because of George Washington’s alleged birthday, I can’t hardly expect them to fly a flag. Although I suppose that might have been part of Carty’s plan… fly it on Saturday-Friday this week, and get 3 days with no one seeing it grace the Toledo “skyline”.

Meanwhile, BG’s hoops team is now 0-2 while Flag Watch continues. Clearly, this issue is affecting the team’s play on the court. Also possibly one of Fink(beiner)’s evil plots. Who could expect a team to not foul the short white kid shooting a 3 pointer in the waning moments of a one point game? Or get off the bus in Athens?

This cannot continue! Call your congressman! Call your mayor!* Call your town sheriff! We want the flag raised! We NEED the flag raised!

(*-If you’re a Toledo resident, you may skip the mayor and continue to the town sheriff.)

Welcome to day three. Still no flag at Government Center in Toledo. While the lucky undercover operative will be away from downtown Toledo on Thursday, I have no doubt that others will step up to monitor the situation as we enter the fourth day of flag-free City Hall.

(One thing is for sure, I won’t be contacting Carty Finkbeiner’s spokesman to ask about the flag.)

Also, as a bonus, the informant sent along this link to an editorial about Carty’s latest woes. (Most likely regarding the Marines training deal, but we all know the absence of the BG flag is the real issue here.)

From the undercover operative, who is apparently all about leaking his information to other outlets:

Still no picture of the BGSU flag. No, I’m not going up to Carty’s office to find it.

I believe we’re within 24 hours of hostile activity. “A stink”, if you will. And apparently, an inside operation into the mayor’s office is out of the question. (See above.)

So here’s the proposal. Every day the flag goes unflown on it’s 7-day excursion into the bowels of Northwest Ohio, we tack on a week. If it’s not flying by noon Monday, Carty’s dog gets a BGSU collar to parade around Government Center.

Mayor Quinn, make it happen.

Thanks to a 4-3 loss to Bowling Green Mayor John Quinn in a free throw shooting contest during halftime of BG’s **WIN** Sunday over rival Toledo, there is supposed to be a BGSU flag flying in front of One Government Center in downtown Toledo, home of Toledo’s City Hall and Mayor Carty Finkbeiner (also known as “How To Run A City Like A Circus…And Get Re-elected”).

However, thanks to an e-mail from an operative close to the situation, Monday passed with no flag:

I will gladly send you a picture of the BGSU flag flying over Government Center as soon as it happens. As of this afternoon at 4:15, NO flag.

Technically, I don’t know if anyone knows the terms of the deal, other than the flag was to fly “for one week”. But what we do know is that the flag exchanged hands on Sunday, and it’s not in place as of yet.

We’ll keep you posted.
