It has become easy to think of Memorial Day as simply a time to squeeze in that last vacation before summer comes to an abrupt and aching end, an excuse to drive somewhere and there to cook a piece of meat, or as nothing more than a day off from work.
But most of us know in our hearts that Memorial Day is so much more than that. It is a time to reflect upon those brave men and women who gave all that they had so that the stars & stripes might still wave over this last, greatest bastion of freedom, this shining city on the hill.
At some point today, take a short break from the barbecue or the ball game, and for a few moments, meditate on the sacrifices of these brave Americans, and upon that indefinable thing for which they gave their lives.
Then, throw a bone to Mammon and go get yourself a little something. Otherwise, the terrorists win.
Let U$ Prai$e Him!
And the same can be said for Labor Day, only it’s for commies, too!

Nice save at the end, but shouldn’t you know the difference in Holidays by now.
Smaktakula knows all and sees all! However, Arturo, Promethean Times’ editorial intern/cabana boy, is not as familiar with American holidays as perhaps he should be. The error is entirely Arturo’s fault, and you can be sure that he’ll be able to ponder his mistake while he spends a little time in the Joy Box.
