The Inconvenience remarked that it is downright insane to lower the the flag on Independence Day, especially in honor of such a distasteful waste of flesh as Robert Byrd.

Turns out it’s also in direct violation of the Presidential Proclamation on the subject.

Not fifteen minutes after I learned that, to what did my wondering eyes did appear, but a freshly-shaven, sharp-looking Sergeant of Marines in full dress blues, striding on down to the Armory… and raising the flag to full-staff.

*cough*

Sure glad I don’t know anybody who would do anything like that…

*whistles*
