Yesterday was Memorial Day and the usual group of people didn't get it and ran around thanking veterans and the usual things.
As usual it was good intentioned but they missed the point.
It's a day to remember the dead.
If you want to thank a veteran, wait until November 11th.
As usual, the Duffel Blog posted a scorcher for Memorial Day and some people got upset about it. I'd just bet the guy that wrote it was pretty close to the tip of the spear at one time or another.
Duffel Blog Memorial Day Sale
It is a bitter, tasteless article and a lot of people were upset. I wasn't.
It was actually one of the best pieces of dark humor I have seen in some time. It stabs at American commercialism.
Wanna have a Veterans Day sale?
Fine. Leave Memorial Day alone.
