Read This

Generally I don’t post a lot of links in my main blog. Usually I just shove them over into the “Hot Links” column and hope you’ll click on them yourself.

But this article in the Chicago Sun-Times just has to be read:

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.

Read it. And, of course, Happy Memorial Day.
