(Apologies to our dear friend PEC on the Vineyard)
Hopefully our "leaders" are having a jolly time on vacation, while millions of Americans remain unemployed. Cheers!!

Monday Reading

As a service to our readers on this Memorial Day, we have culled through thousands of news and opinion articles to find the pithiest political punditry.

-- Michael Hirsh writes about a party that's lost it's way, and one particular dimbulb who loves playing a role more than anything else.

-- Do the powerful here and and around the world care about joblessness? Or are they determined to convince themselves that nothing can be done, and it's okay? Paul Krugman answers.

-- If you're looking for a perfect example of the Rethuglican-wired media inside the Beltway, look no further than yesterday's "Press the Meat" with Dancin' David Gregory (a.k.a., the "establishmentarian testicle cozy" -- check out this amplifying piece by Driftglass).

Keep saying to yourselves, "All is not lost, all is not lost..."
