Drove on U of M campus earlier this afternoon
and it appeared that the flags in front of Williams Arena are at half staff.

Any idea?

3. Might as well just keep em at half-mast
With no end in sight to Bush's war on Iraq--it could go on for years, according to Rummy--we're bound to be lowering it many more times for dead Minnesota soldiers. Itbwould save on the wear and tear on the flag. And you know how those patriotic chickenhawks love to protect the flag.

4. Is he going to do this each time a MN soldier dies?
How could he not after this? Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to the families of those who will die for this stupid war in the future?
