Flying the flag at half mast for every calamity, bump in the road, and every Tom, Dick and Harry has been a pet peeve of mine for two years.

But I will put my flag at half mast today.

Gah. Meant “four years”. It is a liberal thing.

Absolute agreement re half-mast for hangnails !

repetition > familiarity > indifference > contempt

(sound like part of the game plan of any particular bastard half-breed traitor vermin with whom y'all may be nauseating familiar ?)
