As a mark of respect for the memory of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset on August 30, 2009.

Don’t Tread on Me
In fact, I'm thinking of temporarily installing an EXTENSION onto the flagpole from which I fly Old Glory.
Fly it right-side up.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Is this done for every Congresscritter who dies in office?
I’d fly it sideways!
Well, I guess. Having them flown at half-drunk would not be too accurate.
“...by the authority vested in me by the Constitution...”
Finally, Obama recognizes the Constitution.
“Fly it right-side up.”
Thanks, dad

Is this even correct protocol? I mean the man was a US senator, to be sure. But why is that of any concern except to the fools in Massachusetts?
This man was NO American hero. He deserves no National public honor.
worse than that xer0bama wants to have him buried in Arlingtion.....despicable.

Since January 20th, 2009.
How about we fly an Oldsmobile flag right under the US flag ...
Fly a Gadsden.
How about a “Remember Chappaquidick” banner?
Just heard on WRKO:
“I was at a Burger King and saw some teenaged worker lowering the flag to half mast. Asked why they were doing that and was told, ‘some old guy died’. ‘Do you know you?’. ‘Naah, some old guy, I dunno.”
They should just immerse it in water and be done with it.
do you even know what an upside down flag means?
oops, “do you know who?” that should say
