I'm going to post this on my own LJ in a little bit, but for Kij's benefit, here it is also: a six-year-old's version of the Pledge of Allegiance, as recited to us about fifteen minutes ago:

I pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic, for riches and stands, one nation with liberty and justices for all.

Speaking of states - here's an addictive how many can you name? game.

Also, to be appreciated by anyone who has undergone a colonoscopy or similar exam: Dave Barry's take on it; link provided by dragonfly_lily.
