MONDAY: Happy Memorial Day.

All over the country today, Americans will come together to celebrate the lives of fallen soldiers by going to barbecues and drinking too much Bud Light in the sun. Meanwhile, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue to keep thousands of US soldiers abroad and away from their loved ones, without proper access to barbecues and Bud Light. President Obama has asserted his commitment to cleaning up the mess in the Middle East, although to this point BP has been unwilling to help.
