February 16, 201213 yr Whitney was mentioned in the WTF thread, but this bucket of shit deserves its own thread. NJ Governor lowers flags to half staff to honor Whitney Houston
February 16, 201213 yr Seriously? I know it ended badly, but she sang THE BEST NATIONAL ANTHEM OF ALL TIME*. This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHmdu_I_0zI. There is no amount of crack rock induced drowning that can make that go away. * The only thing that even comes close is the tape they used to play in Army Theaters before the movie back in the 80s where the video had the tank crashing through the mud. If you're an Army Brat of my generation you know what I'm talking about. America, ###### Yeah.
February 16, 201213 yr Politically harmless, probably beneficial to Christie as he takes on more of the entrenched NJ powers. Besides, there will most likely be some serious free munchies at the event:
February 16, 201213 yr Beat me to it Toro.. What a ######ing joke Thank God he stayed out of the Republican race. Edited February 16, 201213 yr by Grind
February 16, 201213 yr Sad, but not really suprising. In today's day, it doesn't seem like any politician has any shame if there's some political gain involved. There's a flag in a compound in Bagram that isn't at half staff right now (hopefully) and thats the one I'm really concerned about, cause that means that none of the guys I support are going home in a box today.

February 16, 201213 yr I hear NJ is also going to have a candle light vigil.... (props to a friend who found this)
February 17, 201213 yr This is who we should be talking about... https://freedomremembered.com/index.php/lance-cpl-osbrany-montes-de-oca/ Notice that Lance Cpl. Osbrany Monte De Oca is from New Jersey.
February 17, 201213 yr To be clear, the flag will be flown at half staff for him as well: https://www.nj.com/bergen/index.ssf/2012/02/gov_chris_christie_issues_executive_order_for_flags_to_be_flown_at_half-staff_for_fallen_north_arlin.html
February 17, 201213 yr Chris Christie is an asshole. He's also disgustingly fat which doesn't help either.
February 17, 201213 yr I know. He had to die for his country for that honor. All Whitney Houston had to do is take a lot of drugs and decide to take a bath instead of a shower.
February 17, 201213 yr To be clear, the flag will be flown at half staff for him as well: https://www.nj.com/be...orth_arlin.html Undoubtedly as an afterthought by Crisco Christie"Gov. Chris Christie issued an executive order Thursday afternoon calling for state flags to be flown at half-staff on Feb. 21 in honor of Lance Cpl. Osbrany Montes De Oca." That's great and all, but I was under the impression that only the President could order the US Flag to be flown at half mast... Am I wrong?
February 17, 201213 yr Undoubtedly as an afterthought by Crisco Christie If you had bothered to read the article before offering your opinion on it: He said Wednesday that every fallen soldier from the state of New Jersey has received the honor during his administration.
February 17, 201213 yr It is pretty standard for every state....That doesn't mean a crackhead deserves the same honor. It distracts from the times when people should take notice to our flag being at half staff. ETA: My signed Whitney Houston bath mats have never been more valuable. You will be seeing them on Ebay shortly. Edited February 17, 201213 yr by one
February 17, 201213 yr That's great and all, but I was under the impression that only the President could order the US Flag to be flown at half mast... Am I wrong? Yes, you are wrong.
February 21, 201213 yr pissed this guy off... https://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/21/10466543-slain-soldiers-dad-burns-nj-flag-to-protest-houston-tribute?fb_ref=.T0PMJr9PtZs.like&fb_source=home_oneline
January 8, 201411 yr What a Douche Nozzle This and he also signed a 'DREAM Act' yesterday to benefit illegals in NJ. If I want to vote for a liberal, I'll just vote for Hillary instead...which means in 2016 if he's the nominee then I'll vote Libertarian like I did in 2012. We have the best politicians money can buy!
