Memorial Day Remembrance

At 3 pm on Memorial Day people will stop what they’re doing to remember those who make it possible.

I’m thinking of Adam Hamilton today.

Update: I meant to include this and left it out in the rush last week. It’s a column from the WSJ by Col. Tom Manion USMCR (retired), whose son was killed in Iraq.

Not everyone, however, was into the spirit of the day. Here’s Chris Hayes on MSNBC. And here’s his apology.

Biography

The White House website has inserted “did you know?” factoids about President Obama into its biographies of other presidents. For instance, did you know Obama is the Scrooge of presidential spending?

Here’s the Rex Nutting Market Watch piece purporting to show Obama is a tightwad. And here’s Ann Coulter saying Rex is Nuts.

Lockerbie

Megrahi has died, three years after being released from prison in Scotland on “compassionate grounds” because he had only three months to live due to prostate cancer.

Facebook

The Facebook IPO is a train wreck so far. There were problems at NASDAQ with the launch but Gordon Crovitz in the WSJ says people just don’t click Facebook ads enough. Then there’s this:

Why did Facebook go public?

They couldn’t figure out the privacy settings either.

Drone

Drone flights have been so successful managing the populations of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen that the feds want to try it here.
