The peculiarly USAnian institution of the Home Owners' Association (HOA) (I'm Canadian) is notoriously filled with the kind of busybody Mussolini/Franco-wannabe dictators and martinets that want nothing more than to (a) be all up in everyone else's business, and (b) be upset about it.
They get on the boards (no one else wants to be on them), and they set crazy control-freak rules [1] like:
No vehicles parked on street.
No vehicles parked in driveways outside the hours of 8am - 6pm.
No flags allowed.
No advertising allowed, including company branding on vehicles parked in the neighbourhood.
All yards must be covered with lawn consisting of approved grass seed types and be maintained between 2 and 3 inches long at all times.
All windows must have blinds or drapes that show white to the outside.
Only the colours of these three approved paint chips may be used to paint fences with.
All houses must be stucco of one of these 3 approved colours.
House numbers must be displayed in this approved font, and be between X and Y inches high.
No overnight guests without advanced approval.... and on and on and on. And then they go around the neighbourhood looking for violators to report to the board (that they're on) for punishment and correction.
It's downright nutty.
[1] These are all examples I've seen online.

More on Southwest Airlines.
"I’ve never seen an airline–or almost any business, really–blow up their brand and do so voluntarily the way that Southwest has. This is just another way they’ve become customer-unfriendly, virtually overnight. And it’s an example of one way they used to offer a better experience than competitors, and now do not," wrote View From the Wing's Gary Leff.

We really lost a great company to the greed of a hedge fund. RIP Southwest Airlines. Our country's short-term greed is a perverse and ugly type of capitalism.

Confused here: What was wrong with singer Grace Potter's rendition of the US national anthem at the Kentucky Derby horse race yesterday?
There appears to be a lot of pissed off people out there.

When I look at US #politicians wearing their formal costumes, it reminds me of English #barrister's wearing gray wigs.
It is certainly not about respect. It is mostly about identity and conformity.

The US #FAA #NOTAM service was down for about 90 minutes this morning.
The Canadian #NavCanada NOTAM service was down for "a while" later in the day.
Somehow, these exceedingly rare events are unrelated. Label me suspicious.

“As a United States Army Guard raised an American flag on the pole in front of the Aviation Center, Bob Collins informed Paul, and those who had assembled, that the flag was the same one which had draped the coffin of Peter Poberezny, Paul's father.”

I love cold crisp pre-dawn mornings when a waxing crescent moon is rising, the paper is where it's supposed to be in the driveway, and the space station is passing directly over the Twin Cities at the same time.
