I'm glad this was posted here, otherwise I never would have known.

I don't mean this sarcastically -- are you serious? It's been plastered over my news and social feeds for the past 48 hours, but I recognize I have a disproportionately large amount of friends/acquaintances in DC.

My flag privileges were lost during a flight to Cuba, and the guidelines specify that we not complain about the relevance of posts in the comments. So I won't complain.

I just reread your comment and now I feel like a dunce. Leaving my original comment, so that I might better revel in my shame.

Sarcasm can be difficult to express online; I'm glad you explicitly pointed it out in your reply.
