Posting this again for those who didn't hear about this one yet. One of the most absurd stories I've heard in awhile...

Construction site flies Flag for Memorial Day, loop on the crane causes racism scare-
[redstate.com]

Apparently they couldn't find someone to operate the crane in which to lower the Flag down in a timely manner, so it remained up over the holiday weekend. Mr Tully stated some folks had "felt pain", what a low down dirty shame that was. A close friend of mine experienced true pain while fighting in the Iraq War... she got killed by a roadside bomb, talk about "pain"...
