Last Thursday, 2-star Major General Harold Greene, the highest ranking officer to be killed in Afghanistan, was buried at Arlington Cemetery.
Notice that we say "buried" and not "Barryed" - because the president didn't bother to attend the funeral and instead went golfing.
Of course, the vacationing president made a point of sending veep Joe Biden and...wait. What's that? Oh, we stand corrected. Obama didn't bother to send Biden either.
But he did send a remarkably clear message to members of our military: your lives, service, and deaths deserve only a 99¢ condolence card signed by the presidential auto-pen.
(With thanx and a Tip O' the Stetson to Stilton Jarlsberg!)
