Screw that. I am putting my flag at half-mast right now, and leaving it there.

As I recall, they were at half-mast for a while when Fat Teddy went down.

I couldn’t have said it better myself and I am really good at insulting but accurate descriptions of, well, insufferable pricks.

Our flag has been at half-staff since yesterday.

Flags flew at half staff for three days for Ted Kennedy.

In all fairness, that image appears to be reversed. Look at all the other people — their left hands are over their hearts.

It was to commemorate the duration of his hangovers.
