A well designed new conservative blog has sprouted in the liberal soil of New York city and it certainly bears checking out. Suitably Flip has already posted several good insights — including some intriguing comments on the recent flag burning:
“Of course, there’s nothing inherently illegal about burning the American flag, but it occurred to me that igniting any open flame on a city street might be in violation of the New York City fire code. So I e-mailed the FDNY to find out.”
Ah, what did the FDNY write back? Is it hard to guess?
“The Chief of Fire Prevention was kind enough to mail me a very prompt letter in response, explaining that open fires are indeed “prohibited in New York City and are covered under the administrative code sub chapter 26.” He did say that, absent proof of a compelling public safety concern, they would not consider the act a violation.”
