Memorial Day is over and all the speeches done by chickenhawk politicians are done and songs by non-serving cw singers have been sung, the reality is sadly with us. Our wars overseas are doing nothing to preserve our freedoms.
The best commentary about the day was, not surprisingly, done by Col. Lang. The Neutralist urges everyone to read it.

Do you see anything? Moi, nothing. David Pakman and Peter Ingemi do not confront the elephants in the room
The last day of the year and I am driving on Route 9 here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts from Wormtown to the Holy City of Noho. This is truly a privilege as I get to listen to the radio and go from the loony right to the vapid left in one drive.
First up is Mr. Peter Ingemi, DaTechGuy on WCRN. He did not talk tech, but politics as is his wont. He sounds like what he is, a tea partier who was downsized and moved on. He does not like Ronnie Paul because he won't save us from the muzzies or something.
As Worcester receded, and I got closer to Happy Valley. Mr. David Pakman's voice got clearer on WHMP. He is a bit more focused in his weltanschaung. Ronnie had misgivings about evolution and ergo is not fit to be president. Your man has a point. Washington, Adams and Jefferson never heard of Darwin and they sucked as presidents and human beings.
Saturday is a talk radio ghetto. I may have been one of the pairs only listeners. Guys in working class Worcester are out doing something. The cool people out west are listening to Bob and Ray, I mean Tom and Ray and Car Talk from the Ministry of Information.
It has been a hard few years for our country. The average person's net worth is way down. Still, no matter how hard it is, there is no one in this country so poor that they cannot afford an elephant in their living room to ignore. The president has signed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012. If you agree with Glenn Greenwald, this is about as big a deal as it gets constitutionally.
El Presidente signs it today and nada from either Mutt or Jeff. Now, I suspect the techie likes it because, gosh, we gotta be secure and he is always tired of hiding under the bed. The bad news is who signed it.
Pakman, it is a little tougher. You had George Bush and all his wars and now you have the demi-god and the wars have not changed (other than some cosmetic withdrawls). An honest man would have to say Obama was a fraud. Well, an honest man would say that.
As we head into the 12th year of the Bush/Obama administration maybe Rodney King couldn't get us to all get along, but there is at least some consensus in the Ingemi/Pakman Axis.
I believe in evolution, but opposing the NDAA and not believing evo is okay with me. Being for NDAA and believing in NDAA is evidence of personal devolution.
David Pakman does his best to be the smarmiest guy on WHMP. The competition is fierce. Learn more about him here.
You can learn more about Mr. Ingemi here.
In truth, I may have not heard it because I was listening in the car. If I am mistaken and they took the issue on, they have my apology. If Mr. Pakman called Obama on it, I'll need a pacemaker.

The can has been kicked
Some defense spending cuts supposedly, but our guess is cosmetic. The faux conservatives say we need to control spending other than being able to drone-bomb and invade everywhere. That, of course means they are not truly serious.
Another episode of debt theater coming soon enough.

Michael Graham would not know what conservatism was if it bit him on the nose
As I drift towards Boston while driving, I can pick up its radio stations. There is a breed of mostly men who are paid to rant on the airwaves. On of them Michael Graham purports to be a conservative. Loving all those, you know, reactionary things like the rule of law, due process, the Constitution. Yup, he loves those quaint traditions, except when he doesn't.
Today, he called for the extra judicial killing of Julian Assange because "our defense department and diplomacy have been blown up completely. Well, if being shown up to be incompetent in your reports, yes he is right. Mr. Assange released true stuff. He offered to redact anything really dangerous. Like the Pentagon Papers, all of this was going to come out sooner or later anyway.
What it shows up is our Hilary and her Department of State as the kids who are still doing student government. It shows us with a military that really isn't doing much but chasing its tail.
The brave Mr. Graham, who "supports" the troops by not ever being one is a chickenhawk calling on others to kill someone withoug any due process. Oh, America is doomed if there is not enough mayhem.
Mr. Graham, a conservative war and foreign policy is that the only things worth defending are hearth and home. Saving the world is bound to fail. Get the right wikileaks message.
