Oh, sure. Most of you are at the beach, dancing on the sand and drinking pina coladas and listening to the Beach Boys and feasting upon hot dogs and chips. But the news? The news never takes a vacation. Even on Memorial Day.
- President Obama visited Joplin, Missouri — where he told a city it would rise again.
- If you drop the price of heroin, you’ll be able to get them hooked for life!
- I’m getting a kind of Dukakis-on-a-tank vibe here. Also: T-Paw!
- How to make money on the slots.
- If you’re a New Yorker overwhelmed with despair, the GWB is where it is at.
- Have we all seen Anthony Weiner’s penis outline?
- I thought pot was supposed to be relaxing. What the hell is wrong with people?
- Some guys drove some cars real fast and someone got a prize for it.
- Man, you’re looking good. Real good. Downright Tasty.
Remembering what this day is supposed to be about:
- The Forgotten Battle of the Forgotten War My grandfather served on the USS Topeka.
- Honoring Vietnam vets at parades — a good thing. My uncle Allan died in Vietnam. He was 19. I never knew him. His name is on panel 14 of The Wall.
- Remember the World War II vets. There are not many of them left.
- They’re still dying in Afghanistan. Chief Warrant Officer Christopher R. Thibodeau was 28 when he died on Thursday.
- And remember those left behind.
