“I see the flag lowered practically every day in some place.
I always ask whomever I am with - why?”
I was with someone who hopefully and innocently asked if maybe Obama had died when he saw the flag at half staff. A few leftist heads exploded nearby.
If Obama had died there would have been a man carrying a magnum of champagne and passing out plastic glasses to strangers. An Odinist with a long beard, I suspect ;)
