World's Largest Confederate Flag...

...will be in the Tampa area.
Next year, a giant Confederate flag may tower above the tree line near the junction of Interstate 75 and Interstate 4.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans wants drivers in the Tampa area to see the massive flag — 30 feet high and 50 feet long — atop a 139-foot pole, the highest the Federal Aviation Authority would allow. It would be lit at night.

With the pole already in the ground and building permits in hand, the group is on its way to having what it calls the "world's largest" Confederate flag in place by mid 2009. The group just needs about $30,000 more, said Douglas Dawson, Florida division commander.
I don't want to pass judgement, but as a guy from Jersey I don't get this. Also, this site is along my carpool route to work, so if I have the same employ next year I will be seeing a lot of this.
Fly, I hope this makes up for missing the nude maid story.
