As we head into Memorial Day Weekend, I wanna give three big cheers for the new GI Bill Amendment passing the Senate by a veto-proof majority. While this can’t possibly repay the debt owed these men and women for their service, it’s a start. For my part, it’s something I won’t mind paying taxes to support, not even a little bit.

On to this Friday’s Interlude, which covers two themes:

• To my fellow Washingtonians who had to drive on this most gloriously beautiful day, I grieve on your behalf. Today really is a prize, and soon enough we’ll be back in the sauna, so I want you to know that I feel your sorrow, and share in your remorse. Nevertheless, I’d like you to get your goddam cars out of the goddam way. (Wouldn’t kill you to use your turn signals from time to time either.)
• Chocolate.

So, on them notes:

Move aside, and let the man go through! Let the man go through!

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend.
