Patriotic chicken
Just finished driving back from Stephenville along 281 and 71, and couldn't help noticing that every flag in sight is still flying at half staff. It's as if no one wants to be the first to run Old Glory all the way up the flagpole; perhaps they fear that Reagan will be resurrected on the nth day, and those who got on with their lives shall be duly punished. I propose that we call this phenomenon "patriotic chicken," after the suicidal car game where two drivers run full tilt at each other until someone turns aside with much squealing of tires and loss of manliness. I further suggest that the first person in any particular town to raise her flag to full height should get immediately deported, or alternatively, should get a free pass to Farenheit 9-11, depending on the political climate of the town.
