Coming up next on the Chimpy & Crashcart Show

Here's the latest "Prezidint Bring em on" thing that has me irked. Granted, it's a small thing, but I'm that way about 'stupid and proud of it' people

So I read his proclamation:

By the authority vested in me as President blah, blah, blah, and in honor and tribute to the memory of Ronald Reagan, it is hereby ordered that the flag of the United States shall be displayed at full-staff blah, blah, blah, beginning July 3, 2004

So, why didn't he think of that when he wrote the initial order? He can't count all the way to 30? Even still, it doesn't exactly take a brain surgeon to figure that if you do something for a month starting on June 5, that it will be in effect on July 4.

However....

The thing that really kills me is he waited until the last possible moment to post the order. He didn't realize that July 3rd would find many of his government offices, ships at sea, etc. occupied by people suoersizing their 3-day weekends. (Okay, maybe not the ships at sea) A quick drive about town confirmed that indeed, all of the janitors at public buildings had indeed gone home for the night before the news got out.

So, summing it up, I wouldn't be surprised to find a flag at half-staff...the way it's SUPPOSED to be, dorkus!

Finally, when you step into the polling booth in November, remember ABW (anyone but dubya)
