So how long will the flag be at half mast

[Mr. Blonde]

when Hugh Hefner is put to rest? Hopefully a long time for a true American hero. :)

1. When Ron Jeremy dies...

...will it be at full staff?

[Zomby Woof]

3. no, just really hairy

:o

2. LOL!

Can you believe the fucking flags in my town are STILL at half mast a full fucking TWO WEEKS after you-know-who finally kicked the bucket???? Talk about absurd, ridiculous overkill! :puke: :puke: :eyes: :mad:

4. all dead presidents get 30 days

As you may well know, no one on DU spits on Reagan's grave like me, but he gets 30 like all the rest. No American gets the honor of 30 days other than dead presidents. No one can exceed it either.

6. Hef

is the President of Poon Tang doesn't that count?

[Zomby Woof]

9. never cared for Hef

Like Larry Flynt used to say about him... "he is MOCKING you".

Now Larry, there is a REAL American!

[liberalhistorian]

8. Oh, okay, I didn't

know that. Of course, when it's Clinton's turn you just know they'll find all kinds of excuses to make it a lot shorter than 30 days!!!

[Zomby Woof]

10. you would think so

But President Chelsea Clinton will see it through. :D

11. *Not* looking forward to that with GWB..

I don't want to have to be reminded of our worst president ever for a full month, decades (probably) after his reign..

[Zomby Woof]

13. I will fly a hanging chad at half mast

Or my middle finger at full mast. :-)

[Lauren2882]

15. lol, yeah a lot of us will be doing similar things..

It will be interesting.. I can't imagine the media will be able to possibly glorify his administration like that have with Reagan's, but who knows? It's too hard to keep up with the absurdity.

7. And they will be for another couple weeks!

Flags are customarily flown at half-staff for thirty days in remembrance of a former President.

Bummer!?! ... but thanks for the education <warm smile>

[ElectroPrincess]

12. Agreed!

However, my better half advised me not to "sweat it." The average American is too confused and afraid to notice that the flag is still at half mast. Freaked me out that he considered me an "attention to detail" kinda gal. :P

However, if my memory serves, I was under the impression that when someone USA notable dies, we only fly the flag half mast for a week or so?

I'm at a complete loss. Somebody should tell the Fundy's that Reagan will not live again. Perhaps FOX will take this opportunity to begin their final segment "Count Down to Armageddon? Yikes! Oh those silly right wing, religious, pseudo-patriotic nut cases. :P

5. First repug to rise from the dead will raise 'er back up. n/t

Hail, Cialis! Hail, Cialis! Hail, Cialis...Hail, Cialis...Hail Ceeeeyaaaallisssss!!
