Which Reminds Me

We think that the birds are all well and good in their places, but the way that these Roman Italians crow about the eagle pictured on their national flag, it does make us wonder to what country have these people pledged their allegiance. When I pledge my allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, I think of the stars and stripes, the star-spangled banner, Old Glory so to speak. When these Roman-Italians pledge their allegiance to the symbolic eagle of America and Italy, we are reminded that a picture of an eagle is prominently displayed on the Mexican flag. So what is this artificially constructed Roman republic to which Katherine has so carefully contrived to pledge her allegiance? It is true that the Eagle has landed on the moon, but these Mexican-Italian witches really cannot claim the credit for that. If they were in charge of the government, that probably never would have happened. They think only of their own Italian race and show not much interest and in anyone else beyond themselves and their own boastful glory. Perhaps I exaggerate for purposes of making these points clear, but at least that is the way it seems to me.
