The Blog | RJ Eskow: Burn That Yellow Ribbon! Our "Republichristian" Leaders Have Dishonored Memorial Day | The Huffington Post: "That's why I suggest you burn that yellow-ribbon decal, if you have one. It may say 'Support Our Troops' in black ink, but what it's really saying is 'I've been manipulated by politicians and cynical preachers into supporting an Administration that mistreats our veterans, disrespects our soldiers, and sacrifices them both on a whim.'

This Memorial Day, you can truly honor our fallen heroes - by fighting for their comrades who are still among us.

The Blog | Davis Sweet: An America-Shaped Thing | The Huffington Post: "Without freedom, and I mean huge freedom that makes you feel so good you could write a song, you may as well throw the flag in mothballs. Under this regime, the stars and stripes is merely a logo on a knock-off version of America, like a crooked Tag-Heuer stamp on one of the ten dollar watches you can buy at Ground Zero. It's still an America-shaped thing, but the cheap version can never be something you'd feel proud leaving to your heirs.

So when you talk about America (or, if you're John Edwards, some multiple of same), remember to specify whether you're talking about the classic America, with its planet-inspiring Constitution intact, or the King Bush 'New America - Now 99 and 44/100ths percent Freedom-free!'"

"What's unique about wealth addiction is that it's the only pursuit in our society for which excess is not only tolerated but encouraged. In all others we make a distinction between indulgence and over-indulgence--between enjoyment and abuse, between free choice and inner compulsion."
