HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!


Years ago I read that we should not treat Martin Luther King day as a holiday--we should go to church, do volunteer work etc. I said if there were ever a day named after me people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want--have a party, go the beach, the mall, get drunk, get high, get laid, stare into space or just sleep if they wanted. 

 A couple years ago Facebook friend made a remark about how we should not wish people Happy Memorial Day--men and women did not give their lives so we could buy a mattress. So Saturday I told my supervisor to have a solemn and somber Memorial Day. His answer was "no, I 'm gonna have a _________  kind of day--fuck it."

WHAT WOULD ANNE FRANK DO?

Both the left and right are quoting her for their own purpose: 
 

WE SHOULD RE-NAME THIS "KOV-AID"




Unfortunately too many people who should know better have drunk the Ko-Vid Kool-Aid. 

THINK GLOBALLY

A couple months ago Scandinavian Airlines did a TV spot which many people found insulting, and not just Scandinavians. It promoted travel and opening borders, saying that was good for everyone. Boy did that come to bite them on the behind. BTW, it was pulled off the air: 
 

FACT OR FICTION?

You decide:



IT'S MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

Everyone's a hero now. Or a victim. It used to be you were a hero if you fought in a war and were possibly wounded or killed. Now you're considered a hero if you "risk your life" or "risk your health or the health of others" if you're a cashier at Walmart. Or a "healthcare worker," even if you work in the records or billing department of a hospital and never get NEAR  a patient. Hell, the guy who picks up trash in the train or bus station is probably more likely to die of the Coronavirus. Or some other nasty disease that doesn't garner much sympathy.
