Kindred Healthcare's corporate headquarters are located in Kentucky. We called them for comment when we were first working on this story Tuesday, but they did not return our calls.
Wednesday morning, however, our story received nationwide attention. We have received dozens of emails and comments from people who had something to say about it. And a receptionist at Kindred's headquarters told us they received many phone calls.
Then, late Wednesday morning, Kindred posted on its website a statement about the incident. It reads, in part: "The disagreement was over the size of the flag and not what it symbolized. We have invited the employee to put the flag back up."
We're contacting McLucas for her take on what Kindred said. We'll have that part of the story later today on CBS11TV.com.

Here's the rest of the story.
1. No soup for researching the breakdown on appropriations and who came down for and against as they progressed through time. That "congress did" cop-out does not cover for the fact that between 2002 and 2007, Dems were outnumbered by war zealots with glazed-over eyes as they followed a leader of liars and prevailed on the money issues. Answer: The pubs dominated and ARE credited for building up a $400B debt, no matter how fast you spin it.
2. Thank you. Obama voted against. Vision, conviction and courage to place principle over politics. Biden voted for, but has since stated he believes it was a mistake because of the W administration mismanagement of the war. Go here for Biden on the issue of Iraq: Does not appear to be part of the fleeced flock anymore. http://www.ontheissues.org/Joe_Biden.htm.
3. Obama. Ahead of the curve. Petraeus is not running for president.
4. Petraeus is a military man with a military agenda and a reputation to protect, just like McCain. Trouble is, public is war weary and are looking for nonmilitary solutions…or at least somebody who is willing to consider such notions. There has to be a plan for what lies beyond the surge, which is not an everlasting solution. Question is whose plan? Bush and McCain NOW get it that Obama gots it and are going with his flow. According to you, Petraeus is onboard too. By the way, the Iraqi leadership just might be entitled to weigh in on this one. After all, it IS their country. They backed Obama on international television this past summer, lest we forget.
5. Well then, according to you, Petraeus is onboard troop draw-down. No highjack here, but a bit slow on the draw.
6. There has been no political resolution. Iraqis have not taken control of their own nation. Exactly what do you think will happen after troop withdrawal? The Sunni, Shia and Kurds will throw farewell flowers at the troops and each other in gratitude for all the help and Iraq will become the "oasis of democracy" in the Middle East? All the surge has done is prolong the inevitable. We need to step aside NO MATTER WHAT the consequences and hand the Iraqis the keys to the kingdom and let them sort themselves out.
The Rest Of The Story
The civil jury rejected most of the claims against Roger Barnett but found him liable for assault and infliction of emotional distress. He was ordered to pay $77,804--$60,000 of it in punitive damages.
Barnett is a well-known vigilante who flashes a fake police badge and has been sued a number of times, including detaining some Americans who were on a hunting trip. Apparently to Barnett, if you look Mexican then you're an illegal alien. Barnett's 22,000-acre ranch includes private and federal lease holdings and almost 14,000 acres of state-leased land.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-border-confrontation,1,5753960.story
The idea of having US troops patrolling the Mexican border is ludicrous and will never happen.
The rest of Cindy McCain's drug story is....
She didn't just "do" drugs and go to rehab. Sam left out the middle part. Cindy, the beer heiress, McCain founded the American Voluntary Medical Team (AVMT)charity organization. This came in handy when her habit was upwards of 20 pills a day (Percocet and Vicodin). She used her considerable clout to force one of the AVMT MDs to write illegal prescription drugs. When that wasn't enough, she resorted to stealing them from her own foundation.
She then proceeded to fire the whistleblower who had found out about it, who then turned around and tipped of the Drug Enforcement Administration and a federal investigation ensued, which she ended up paying for since she was guilty. That's when she told her clueless husband, the senator, since the feds were on her tail.
Enter John McWayne. The family staged an intervention and the senator exercised HIS considerable clout and had Cindy enrolled in what is politely referred to as a "diversion program."
Here's how this works. You pay a "program fee," attend classes on how how to avoid future offenses, restitution to the victims and avoid situations that might encourage repeating the behavior. This would be the "slap on he wrist and make it go away" approach to law enforcement. It you fail to meet the requirements of the program, they proceed with full prosecution.
Now some people's "program fees" might be other's "bribe and hush money." This program is pretty much out of reach to the garden variety drug offender who is not heir to a fortune and married to a senator. Those folks do hard time.
Exactly who are the rest of you???
xx
Uh, the rest of us are those... sm
Who believe in facts, logic, science, reason, etc. above fairy tales and magical thinking/wishing. You know, like an adult? I should think that would be obvious.
And you assume that because I don't believe in your religion that I have "nothing to believe in." No. I just don't believe what you believe. Why? Well, mainly, lack of evidence. Oh, and the fact that I wasn't indoctrinated/brainwashed as a child to unquestionably believe something for which there is no proof.
While you may continue to love and pray for me, I can continue to love and wish the best for you. Praying/wishing, I don't see a big difference.
What do you mean by the rest of us?
What you got here is socialism in black and white and for the life of me, I do not understand why anyone would think all this would come your way free and clear. This is coming your way, complements of Obama, to the tune of around 3.5 trillion dollars.
And on top of that, he is talking giving checks to people who don't work. Aren't we already doing that?
Try to keep up with the rest of us
http://forum.mtstars.com/misc/v/11/52098.html
Sheesh...
Rest assured, we won't. SM
Do you have recess time on this board?
The rest of the numbers. TI
This is reality in Israel: From 29 September 2000 through 11 January 2003:
5,041 injured, 717 killed, 15,992 attacks
IDF Spokesperson 12 January 2003
Injured: 3,585 Civilians + 1,456 Security Forces = 5,041 Total Israeli Injured
Killed: 503 Civilians + 214 Security Forces = 717 Total Israeli Killed
Total Attacks*: 7,139 West Bank + 8,203 Gaza Strip + 650 Home Front =15,992 Total
* Does not include attacks with rocks or fire bombs.
This is a death toll greater (in proportion) than America suffered on 9/11 and the American people would never tolerate this! So why should Israel have to endure this year after year while the world does nothing? The same people that hate Israel are the same people that hate America!
What you do DOES silence the rest of us.

give it a rest ....nm
.
Give it a rest, already.
You're like a dang gnat that needs a swat. Unless you know what was going on behind the scenes in both parties, knock it off. Like Biden was the so-called "new politician's" first choice? He was supposedly the safest choice.
Not when the rest of the country = 61%
mm
I hope you got some rest.
At least a dozen people? When this kind of bigotry rears its ugly head, it breaks all kinds of silence. Let me make this clear to you. My post was responding to the bigotry, the lie and the ignorance being displayed and not to the other poster who was responding to the to the bigotry, the lie and the ignorance. How many different ways do you want to make yourself look foolish?
So what about the rest of the post
Is it only welfare to the poor that ticks you off so? I raised some specific points. Just curious. All of the rest of it is okay by you?
I rest my case!
Pittsburgh law enforcement sources tell TMZ they have serious questions about the authenticity of the alleged victim who says she had her face cut by a politically-motivated attacker.
We're told there are several things about the alleged attack that don't add up. A Pittsburgh PD official says they are conducting a "thorough investigation" and have not determined if the alleged attack is real or a hoax. But we're told there is definitely a level of skepticism.
Give it a rest will ya? s/m
Or better yet, let's declare NEITHER candidate was born in the U.S. and declare this election OFF and see if we can't come up with 2 better candidates!!!!
This needs to be laid to rest
Mine shows none of that here in Pennsylvania when I had to get a copy. My copy has only DOB, file number, date filed, date issued, count of birth, name, and sex. It also has the raised seal. That's it.
It doesn't need to have all that other information to be real.
Yeah and the rest by Sam...
Shame on you!  I guess you believe in God though right. The man did have a death in his family. Give it a rest already, and no I'm not GP. I'm another MT just like you with a little heart I guess. 
Rest yourself assured that this is just more of the same...sm
garbage spewn by people who have a vested interest in unrest in our country. Even IF Obama had been born in Russia, his mother was an natural born American citizen and that right was automatically conferred to him the second he was born. NO ONE can take American citizenship from someone against their will, even in the case of a child. NO ONE ! ! So all this trash is a moot point.
i rest my case
no need for further discussion, you proved my point!
you can put lipstick on a pig..you know the rest..nm
//
Give it a rest, BB....... sm
Don't you have more pressing issues to think about....such as the economy?
At least that is what I was reprimanded for on the board several days ago when I pointed out one of Obama's shortcomings, at least as I saw it.
Onward and upward, cheerio pip-pip and all that good stuff.
There ya go, I rest my case nm
thanks!
I'm glad for you but what about the rest of us
You are the first person I have heard to receive anything that Obama has promised. I caught some of his speech tonight. I like some of it (energy and stuff even though it's very confusing to understand), but for the most part it sounded like he was on the campaign trail again and all I was waiting for was "and I'll end world hunger" ha ha ha.
I agreed with another poster who said what in the world was that republican rebuttal talking about. There are so many other good republicans out there who would have spoken better (and said things I would have understood). I was listening while I was making supper and I kept asking DH what in the world is he talking about. I just don't understand why with so many other good republican speakers (R. Paul for one), why don't they ever get up and talk.
Anyway...I'm glad for you with your Cobra, but I'm not seeing any changes and nobody I know of is seeing any changes. We just keep getting fed his campaign speeches of hope, hope, hope. It's time now to stop talking about hope and tell us what is being done (and none of this feel-good stuff which is lies to fool the public into thinking good things are happening when nothing actually is). I want to see it in writing. I don't see jobs being created so half of my family who were laid off can go back to work. Well I guess I'll find out come tax time if Obama is good on his word. I "hope" so, but the whole economy thing is so depressing right now. I am hopeful and will keep my fingers crossed. If my taxes are lower I'm going to come on this board and say thank you Obama.
Once again proclaiming yourself as better than the rest of us.
so long
It's not that hard to be better than the rest of you.nm
x
Boy-oh-boy. I rest my case.
I rest my case.
The big three networks (who have always been in the bag for Obama) chose to pretty much ignore the whole thing. Mainstream commentators that mentioned it chose to characterize it a gathering of a few loose screws who were mad at the president - not sure why - something about his race? Local stations that covered it picked out a few hostile-looking signs to focus on, amoung throngs of thousands.
I would have thought that a quarter-million folks protesting would be a nationally newsworthy event, but apparently not. Depends where you tune your dial, I guess. For those who think there is no liberal bias in media, how come nobody but Fox viewers and conservative radio listeners had any clue what was going on?
The rest of the verse....(sm)
thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the way of Allah, - he will never let their deeds be lost.
Rest easy
she'll probably have you posthumously converted and you will be okey-dokey in the hereafter. Thanks a boatload, Sis!
But you complete ignored the rest of the post....
I am just shaking my head. It is amazing to me that anyone would think God is okay with abortion. I believe he is okay with personal choice, of course I do, my faith is based greatly on that belief. Someone makes a choice when they take any life, inside the womb or outside. That does not mean God condones murder. You are representing that the Bible, and therefore God, condones abortion, and I cannot wrap my mind around that. To follow your line of reasoning, I should be able to steal from you and not have the government interfere because it is my choice to steal from you and I have to answer only to my maker. If a person breaks into your house (his choice) and rapes you or kills you, (his choice), then he should be free to do so and only have to face his maker. Can you not see how destructive that line of thinking can become? You think that is ridiculous, but I promise you that 20 years ago people thought abortion was ridiculous, same sex marriage would horrify my parents...if left unchecked, horrible things can happen. The amazing thing is, the moral compass becomes so skewed that the horrible becomes the acceptable. As I said before, that kind thinking is what helped a madman rise to power, and thousands upon thousands of people either jumped on the bandwagon or turned their heads and condoned something horrific, on the premise that a whole race of people were inferior and subhuman and therefore it was all right to exterminate them. THAT is what happens when people begin to devalue life. I do not want that to EVER happen again, to ANYONE. I realize that is probably falling on deaf ears because I will get the rote I don't believe it is life again and you are unable to draw the parallel. You see, that is a fundamental difference between you and me...I care about what happens to you as an individual and what happens to this country and every person in it, so I gave it one last shot. It is hard for me to just walk away. But walk away I shall, because sometimes you have to. We shall have to agree to disagree, but I will keep standing for what I believe in and calling wrong what I believe is wrong, just as you do. God bless, Maryland Gal.
Teddy, give it a rest already. sm
We have, through the years, LONG before you were posting here, made a distinct difference between liberals and leftists. If you would actually read the posts, instead of reading Ann Coulter, which for some reason you feel a Clockwork Orangish type of inescapability to read, you would see that. But instead in post after post after post you go on and on with a litany of wrongs against the poor liberals on the conservative board. Give it a rest already. As far as your assertion that Vietnam and Korea were civil wars, well, I am not quite sure how to address that gigantic historial distortion. I won't even try.
He can't make rules by himself....obviously the rest of the...
legislature must have agreed with him. Again I ask you...if it happened in YOUR family, would you not use every means at your disposal to help your family member get the help they needed?
Help the wife. Lock up the rest of us.
All the other democrats you named in similar situations are not running for president in 2008. This guy is not fit to be my leader.
sheesh is right, sam, GIVE IT A REST!!!
if we talked about the weather, you would turn it into an abortion topic. If we talked about fashion, you would turn it into an abortion topic. If we talked about sports, well, you get it. And WE GET IT. Give it a blanking rest.
and turned a blind eye to all the rest
nm
Taking a rest today.
Yes, you go ahead. Take a rest. Freedom of speech.
no rest for the wicked, even on...... Sunday....
.
Only if the rest of the mainstream media...
put vote for obama stickers on their foreheads.
have you read the rest of the thread?
Before you start firing off, maybe you should read the thread. In a lot of areas in the US, the wait for access to healthcare is a lot more than 6 weeks.
Also, a lot of folks in the US don't have any kind of insurance, so they would wait a lifetime for a CT.
we'll just go down the tubes with the rest
x
No more sick and tired than the rest of us are with the
McC numbers plummeting back to double-digit deficit after another week of this vitriole. When WILL you folks get the message?
I agree and count only your #1....the rest...sm
....to me, are the many ways that Obama has tried to paint himself, many only just recently as he has run for office of the pres....don't trust a single word out of his mouth.
He will screw us all over, just to get elected. Just watch.
WOW did you even read the rest of my post?
It's called a JOKE...hence the LOL and the j/k (which means just kidding btw)
Oh give it a royal rest already
it isn't was 'MURDER' and you know it. You cannot 'MURDER' a zygote, an embryo, or a fetus before the legal time limit for an abortion. Does it end the 'viability' of the embryo/fetus? Yes. Murder? Not even close.
And EXACTLY how are you paying for children born out of wedlock with your taxes?
Specifically, please.
Amount? How much? And how are these monies distributed to these children and/or their gaurdians?
If you can document and defend your position, I'm all ears.
I bet you, like the rest of the left, never criticized
nm
to shelly: Can't you give it a rest?
Are you obsessed with the idea to catch our President-elect in an evil act? What's wrong with you?
President-elect has the right to actions WITHOUT divulging every little petty detail IMMEDIATELY to the press and the people.
After all he is the President-elect and the majority of the people voted for him, not only here in the US, globally he was sponsored as the future President of the United States.
SHOW SOME RESPECT and look for something else to keep you occupied.
Again, who cares - give it a rest
This kind of mentality is not what is going to lead our country into the future.
Even Obama himself has more class than this. Nobody in his campaign is talking about Palin's daughter or making totally unnecessary remarks.
Didn't you read my post below. I already said who cares about Palin's baby.
He doesn't but the rest of the world
can't wait for the countdown to be over. Great men are worthy of great expectations. No doubt he will live up to them and in the meantime, all you detractors will be self-combusting, one-by-one.
Re-post the rest of the article....sm
people at the restaurant says he didn't watch it.
A host at the restaurant tells CBS News' that the President-elect stopped by the only television in the high end establishment, a small screen at the bar, and watched for "a minute or two." The source said he did not notice what Mr. Obama was watching but that "no" it was not for an extended period of time.
