Memorial Day Thoughts

Since Muse and I were out of town, we didn't get the chance to comment on the passing of Memorial day. However, I've found a piece that says it well. It's a short read about the nature of America, and how that is in danger.

There is something not just ridiculous but unbecoming about a hyperpower 300 million strong whose elites -- from the deranged former vice president down -- want the outcome of a war, and the fate of a nation, to hinge on one freaky jailhouse; elites who are willing to pay any price, bear any burden, as long as it's pain-free, squeaky-clean and over in a week. The sheer silliness dishonors the memory of all those we're supposed to be remembering this Memorial Day.

It reminds you that with friends like these, who needs enemies?
