Their minds' on their money and their money's on their minds.

After Coretta Scott King died, I noticed from my office window that, as they were supposed to be, the flags were flying at half mast atop City Hall and the Jackson County Courthouse. At the Federal Reserve, however, the flag was still flying high. This continued for a couple of days.

Finally, the Federal Reserve realized their blunder and lowered their flag to half mast -- about an hour after the King funeral had ended.

The next day the official mourning period was over and the flags returned to their full height at City Hall and the Courthouse. But at the Federal Reserve? Nope... they forgot all about it again. It wasn't until today that they remembered to raise it back up.
