Kim Kries As Kooky Stunt Krumbles!
Hey Mikie And Andy, Take A Look At THIS!
Imagine this 19 year old kid hitting the beach and wading through the hell on Earth that was Iwo Jima, not knowing if he'd live another second. But he's made it to 2026 and his nation's 250th. And still a badass. https://t.co/lR8LfWRBTx

Try This, And Enjoy The Magic!
A great way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting.

What You Need To Know About Memorial Day
Think you know all about Memorial Day?
It's Memorial Day weekend and we hope you're having a great time.This year, we hope that you take time to remember those who have protected us and who have made (and continue to make) our freedom possible. Because Memorial Day is all about those who gave their lives defending our country. They made the ultimate sacrifice. In this way Memorial Day differentiates itself from Veterans Day which honors all veterans.
Now, let's get to the business at hand:
1) Not everyone will spend the long weekend at the Jersey shore, especially this year with the weather so uninviting. The media would have you believe that everyone is headed to the shore but that's just an easy way for the media to not report real stories over the weekend while at the same time nurturing the myth of the Great Shore Exodus. In fact, people enjoy the weekend in many different ways at many different places. We know we do -- and will.
2) Summer doesn't begin on Memorial Day. Summer begins on June 21, the summer solstice. And summer doesn't end on Labor Day. Summer ends on September 22 when autumn begins. The media and the travel industry concocted the idea that summer lasts from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It doesn't.
3) As we noted, Memorial Day is actually May 30. Congress changed the day around to make it a three-day weekend in another attempt to rob a fine holiday of its true meaning. So, Memorial Day is now the last Monday in May which means it can come as late as May 31 or as early as May 24. Leave it to the government to mess things up.
4) Memorial Day didn't become Memorial Day until 1966 when President Johnson officially renamed it. Prior to that it was widely known as Decoration Day - the day when Americans decorated the graves of the fallen. At it's core it's a somber day.
5) The artificial boundaries of Memorial Day and Labor Day mean absolutely nothing even though many people perceive these boundaries to coincide with the school year. Most children go to school well past Memorial Day. Many children (particularly in southern states) return to school well before Labor Day. Others return several days after Labor Day.
6) This year Memorial Day actually arrives close to the traditional date and Labor Day (the first Monday in September) is September 4. So, the stretch between the two is about average -- mixed news for vacation and travel vendors.
But, remember: Memorial Day isn't when people say it is. The summer hasn't begun - yet. It won't end on Labor Day. Many people will get through the whole summer without ever going to the Jersey shore. They will have a wonderful time nonetheless.
The Memorial Day and Labor Day boundaries are totally imaginary!
So, there you have it.
Enjoy what's left of spring.
Then, go ahead and enjoy summer all the way through till September 22.
In fact, enjoy each day as a blessed gift. Savor every day, no matter the season.
Don't be cheated.
The Remarkable Story Of Jewish Resurrection
Excerpted from "The Iron Lady of The American Jewish Right" an extraordinary interview with Ruth Wisse in this wekend's Wall Street Journal:
Much of her extended family was murdered by the Germans, but “the investment in Holocaust education has been a huge mistake,” she says.
“We should remember it every day of our lives, and we do. We still mourn the Temples of Jerusalem.”
She sees the public Holocaust education effort, however, as a Jewish gesture to Christians: “Show them the crucifixion of the Jews, as if it could be redemptive for the rest of us.”
Even accepting the Christian framing, Ms. Wisse says, “we left out the resurrection. Not in three days, but in three years.”
From the end of the Holocaust in 1945 to Israel’s 1948 founding, “the Jewish nation resurrected itself— and that is a miracle.
“It’s not that the waters parted,” she says. “The Jews had to part them.” The Arabs had succeeded in choking off the Jewish escape from Europe to Palestine when it counted most, and then rejected the U.N. partition plan for a Jewish and an Arab state. After nearly 2,000 years of exile, the Jews had to fight off the invasion of five Arab armies to win independence.
“The resurrection of the Jews is the greatest story ever told,” Ms.
Wisse says, “and while our enemies were hard at work uglifying it, we told the story of the Holocaust.”
