Are you so old that you remember when Memorial Day was called Decoration Day? Are you so ancient that you remember when Memorial Day was sacrosanct - it fell, year in, year out, on May 30th? Are you so decrepit that you remember when Memorial Day was more than the beginning of summer - when its sole purpose was to honor the men and women who died defending our country? If the answer is yes, you'll know that Memorial Day was draped in the American flag.

Yikes! What a response! All I did in my most recent blog was point out the obvious : that when Hillary Clinton ran for president she had certain advantages.

Here's my point. No doubt that Colonel Sullivan is a man of great distinction. But, whatever his accomplishments, he does not rate right up there alongside the nine men and women who have lifelong appointments to the highest court in the land. Did his lesser status stop him? Did it deny him access or preclude him from taking on arguably the most august leaders in the land? Not on your life. Not in this day and age. Sullivan posted his blog - and in the process gave the Court one of its worst black eyes ever.
