While on my way to work today the news on the radio mentioned that f**gs would be at half staff to commemorate the terror attack on 9/11/01.
As I drove along I did see a few f**gs at half staff, but I saw more that were NOT at half staff. I was amazed at how few WERE at half staff.
On my way back this afternoon I decided to count all the f**gs that were on poles that could have been lowered to half staff. The results were startling to say the least. I counted 70 f**gs, only 20 of which had been lowered to half staff. 50 f**gs were at full staff. Perhaps the most disturbing were where the f**gs that had NOT been lowered. I was able to jot down the most recognizable names of those that had Failed to honor all those that perished on that day. Here's a list that many of you will know the names of.
Capital One Bank
White Castle Hamburgers
Red Lobster
Burger King (2 stores)
Arby's
Dunkin Donuts
In addition to these very recognizable names there were a few VERY shocking ones:
AMVET Thrift store
Bellmore Chamber of commerce
Baldwin Chamber of commerce
Massapequa Federal Post Office.
The POST OFFICE ? I couldn't believe it, especially since the POTUS made it clear that federal buildings would fly our f**g at half staff.
70 f**gs and only 20 at half staff. That's roughly 72% of the f**gs on that stretch of road NOT remembering (or not caring) about that horrific day 16 years ago. Okay I know that private businesses don't have to comply, but many did. Out of 9 McDonald's restaurants only 2 had NOT lowered the f**g
But 2 different Chambers of commerce?
And a POST OFFICE?
Well, maybe they just forgot.

It's quite possible that they didn't get the word. This is the first I've heard of it.

I'm far further east, but I have seen the same. I used take 25 rather than 27 when the roads were really jammed. Lots of lights, but at least you were moving.....
