NYSE Observes a Moment of Silence for Veterans Day.

So you might ask, what is so disgraceful about that? Well, I will tell you, with apologies to anyone who has heard this refrain from me every year for the past decade and a half.

See, I am old enough to remember when the exchanges were closed for the day in honor of the veterans. Not a moment of silence at the opening bell, but closed. All day. In honor of the veterans, you see.

But there was a new holiday that needed to be celebrated, and there were already too many days off as it was. If one was to be added, then one needed to go. And so the veterans were cast off and left to the wolves. Those veterans, they said, they weren't so great, why have the whole day off just for them? We have a new holiday to celebrate, they said! As I said, a total disgrace.

And the new holiday? Why it's that worthless, greasy, loudmouthed, unworthy nigger Martin Lucifer Koon, of course. Much more important than some dirty veterans, went the thinking at the NYSE. Of course, they didn't actually come out and say that, but judging by their actions, what else are we supposed to think?
