I came into work this morning, and noticed that the flag was atop the flagpole. I asked our guy who is in charge of displaying the US flag if he missed that Neil Armstrong had passed away. He said he would check to see if there were any official instructions to fly the flag at half mast in his honor.
Sadly, no.
Some stupid temporary politician dies, and they get that honor. If ANYONE deserves that honor it would be Neil Armstrong, who was a TRUE American hero in every sense of the word.

My news doesn't come as fast as BJ's. I see that President Obama has directed flags fly at half mast on the day of his funeral.
Thank you.
Thank you.

The news I get fast is often flawed but that's what happens when humans are involved.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

If Obama was older he just might have done that.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

speaking of age, how young would you have to be to make this mistake.
