My friend Stephen Green and I were talking about Memorial Day during last Friday’s episode of “Five O’Clock Somewhere.” I said that I felt the day is too solemn for me to be editorializing or pontificating about politics, and Stephen agreed. It’s still important that the Briefing gets published because it’s a weekday newsletter and that’s the gig. The links are all still here, but I didn’t add any snarky comments.
