Can't stop the schadenfreude (Holly Hobby Lobby in the news again)

Holly Fisher, aka Holly Hobby Lobby, social media star, military wife and mother, defender of conservative values and all around clueless moron, was exposed by a conservative blogger for sleeping with a tea party staffer at a convention.

I know it’s none of my business, and I shouldn’t care, and they have a right to privacy, and this is childish, but… well, here I am enjoying it.

Wonder if he kept his hat on? (Just had this random visual of Alice and the Mad Hatter ;))

Hmm.

Her husband has been trained and equipped with semi-automatic weapons. She has been trained and equipped with semi-automatic weapons.

If Hollywood pitched a movie about this, it’d be, “…Its ‘American Sniper’ meets ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’. The public will Love it…!” :smack:
Coming to a theater near you!
(So duck.)

The union should always be in the upper left of the flag, whether displayed vertical or horizontal

I don’t know how well trained she’s been. It looks like piss poor trigger discipline to me, although it’s a low-res photo.

Yes, but where she is makes a difference. If the flag is behind her, I agree.

If she’s hiding behind the flag, the picture might come out that way.

Mounted to a wall, granted. The flag in that photo is pretty obviously on a staff placed into a bracket on the house. Raising that staff to vertical would need to keep the union on the TOP, yes?

Or is she only supposed to allow it to be photographed from the other side?

It’s deliberately part of the composition. I wouldn’t make a similar complaint of, say, the Iwo Jima image.

I’m picturing her riding him like a cheap mule, while she holds the rifle in one hand and the bible in the other, while screaming “I’m coming, Jesus!!”

Not always. When displayed horizontally on the side of something with a “front”, the stars go in the upper right to imply forward motion. E.g., a flag patch on the right arm of a uniform.

I’m picturing her being ridden by a cheap mule.

What if we just start a thread called “People Who Did Something Hypocritical” and watch as it exceeds 6,000,000,000 posts.

I just can’t get worked up about this.

You are not supposed to get worked up, you are supposed to point and laugh.

Well, she ***has ***forgiven herself, so that’s hunky dory.

Photographic composition has nothing to do with flag protocol. The display here is correct as is, and would definitely be wrong if reversed.

However, the composition does show her to be a clueless moron.

Are you thinking that she has one finger on the trigger?

I can’t quite tell for sure either, but I kinda think I can make out some parts of four fingers outside the trigger guard. But just barely, and not for sure.

ETA: Anyway, she needs to stay out of Wal-Marts.

Yeah, it looks to me like she has her index finger on the trigger.

I can (I blewed it up real good!) four fingers on the grip and it’s just light reflecting off of the trigger.

CMC fnord!

I think you are right. At first I thought that could have just been a reflection in a really grainy photograph, but looking closely, you are right.

I love it when idiot moralizers get hoisted on their own petard! Just another hypocrite to add to the long list of assholes who would rather thump a bible than read it
