Flag Etiquette

This last week has reminded me that schools clearly are no longer teaching anything about flag etiquette, and to expect any of the Old Media to cover it, how simplisme! Since I was the one who had to lower the flag here to half mast, and then re-lower it yesterday – to the accompaniment of a cheerful babbling idiot stopping to tell myself and a maintenance person that Reagan had died “yesterday” – I thought I might finally live up to what I had discussed over at Jen’s a while back.

If you want to display your ignorance for the world to see like the female yesterday (Note to her: He died a week ago, the services were Friday, and the flag stays at half mast/staff for 30 days for a President/former President, as we tried to tell you save that you were too busy talking to listen), you are free to do so. Wouldn’t you rather show your brains and integrity instead?

If so, go here, here, here, here, and here for all you need to know to do things right. ‘Nuff said.
