No, Potter County hasn’t been conquered by Chile. The county flew the Chilean flag instead of the Texas banner over the courthouse for a whole day before anyone noticed. The manufacturer had apparently put the similar-looking Chilean flag into a package marked “Texas.” Chile’s flag has a blue field with a single white star in the left-hand corner. The rest of the flag is a white stripe above a red stripe. The Texas flag has a blue field with a white star over the entire left-hand side. The right side is a white stripe above a red stripe. The mixup was noticed last week by Paul Hermann, an assistant district attorney. “We thought we had been invaded, overthrown, and didn’t know about it,” Hermann said.

to avoid any future confusion, the Texas flag should be something more intuitive, like a combination of the logos from Purnell's "Old Folks" Country Sausage chubs and the Arby's hat. or pretty much any candid photo of Gary Busey.
