Editor’s note: This column originally ran on May 25, 2021. We re-run it for this Memorial Day weekend. I make a point of attending a Memorial Day service every year. I have childhood memories of Memorial Day that include a festive parade, followed by a cookout, but those memories don’t really include what’s important to me now. The important part is the somber ceremony that either precedes or follows the parade, depending upon what community one is in.

Elon Musk, the malignant narcissist foisted upon our consciousness by his friend, Donald Trump, is reportedly stepping back from his role at the so- called Department of Government Efficiency. His failing car company, it seems, requires more of his attention. Unfortunately, it seems he’s not going away. kAmpD r@FCE9@FD6 }6HD C6A@CE65 E9:D H66<[ |FD<’D D@4:2= >65:2 4@>A2?J ) r@CA][ 7@C>6C=J %H:EE6C[ 7:=65 2 =2HDF:E (65?6D52J :?
