I am confuzzled - Why are the flags at half mast right now?

[KitchenWitch]

Who died?

[reyd reid reed]

1. I dunno...

I just checked outside and here they aren't.

[KitchenWitch]

2. Maybe it is a Minnesota thing

I would have thought I would have heard on the local news.

[RevCheesehead]

3. It's the death of Democracy.

Sure, we've known it for some time, but the rest of America is just waking up. :(

[KitchenWitch]

5. You are probably right!

:cry:

[reyd reid reed]

6. Leave it to us to be the last to recognize it...

Buncha sand stickers that run this haven of right-wing nutjobs.

That Ken Mehlman guy was on the local news here the other day with the damn reporter practically licking his ass.

It was disgusting.

4. My dear KitchenWitch!

I have no idea either......

I don't think it's happening here in California......:shrug:

Good to see you tonight, sweetie!

[KitchenWitch]

7. I have no idea why they are like that here

[JohnKleeb]

8. I checked on yahoo, nothing found about deaths

[KitchenWitch]

9. I know, me too

Weird, huh?

Maybe it is some form of protest for the immigration thing.

[JohnKleeb]

11. I dont know

Wouldn't that have been organized by the governors office? What's Pawlenty saying on the immigration issue?

[KitchenWitch]

12. Timmy the Tool pretty much wants to lock the border.

[JohnKleeb]

13. I think you guys will not reelect him

I was told that he pretty much ruined any chance for Minnesota to become more of a purple state than a blue state. I have my sources even though the only thing I knwo about Minnesota is that you guys talk funny :hide:.

[KitchenWitch]

14. Ya sure ya betcha!

Timmy will not be re-elected. There are 3 very strong Democrats in the race.

[JohnKleeb]

16. Thats good

Thanks for not killing me for saying you guys talked funny. I was being sarcastic actually since I personally know someone from Minnesota and doesn't sound like the people did in Fargo did at all. I finally saw that one and loved it.

10. No idea. Everything's "normal" out here on the west coast...

yeah, right. :eyes:

:hi:

[WCGreen]

15. No Viagra.......

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Because the Vikings fucking suck, and your state finally admitted it

:P

(actually, I don't think they suck at all; the team has some very bad morally people, but, what the hell, Minnesota is practically Wisconsin and is the other nicest state in the union - I love MN!)

[KitchenWitch]

19. LOL

Actually, it looks to me like Zygi has started to clean house and rid the Vikings of the thugs.

I am liking it a lot!

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. Phbbbbbbbbt. Did you discover why they were at half mast?

And I'm glad to hear the Vikings are cleaning house. That kind of bullshit, immoral, violent stupid behavior belongs in the south, not in the midwest. It's an embarrassment, really, to all midwesterners.

[KitchenWitch]

26. Nope never did

:shrug:

[SofaKingLiberal]

18. Could it be someone local?

Which flags did you see at half mast? Flags your town/county, or are there Federal and State flags at half mast?
If it's local it could be for a cop or soldier from your town.

[KitchenWitch]

20. Hard to say

I noticed it at one of the local businesses. But no news reports.

[realisticphish]

21. I dunno

but the ROTC building on campus (Ohio State) is at halfmast too :shrug:

22. Flags at half staff in NJ

http://www.nj.com/news/gloucester/local/index.ssf?/base/news-3/1144830267252430.xml&coll=8

Flags should be flying at half-staff today to honor an Army officer who died in Vietnam in 1971.

The remains of Capt. John F. Dugan Jr., of Roselle, have only recently been identified and returned to his family.

Gov. Jon S. Corzine ordered that the flags of the United States and the state of New Jersey be flown at half-staff today to honor and mourn Dugan -- who earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart during is first tour of duty in Vietnam and was serving a second tour as a helicopter pilot with the 101st Airborne Division.

23. Perhaps we lost a service member in our armed forces that was from your

area. I know they lower them here when one of the neighbors dies in service.

[IsIt1984Yet]

27. In WI they do that at all public schools and offices when a service member

from the state is lost.

[blondeatlast]

24. I noticed it yesterday here in Arizona. I have no idea. nt
