So...how many days long is the griefgasm scheduled to last?
Advertisements [?]
We had to "mourn" St Ronnie of Reagan for about a week.. The press has been buzzing about the 5 year "anniversary" for weeks now (with a childlike wonder..like before christmas)..

All day yesterday was devoted to it, today too..

Will September become 9-11 month?

I cannot help but think that all the money and attention spent "memorializing" this tragic event would have been well spent in actually investigating and providing real answers..and perhaps some prosecutions for people in charge of security..

I think part of what's driving the continuing anger and grief, is the fact that no one paid for this gigantic lapse of National Security..no one was charged, no one got demoted..no one got fired..no one got prosecuted..

The thing that flashed through my mind was this:

How bad of a Seretary of Defense does one have to be, to be at your desk INSIDE the headquarters of the military of the most powerful nation on earth...and have your own building be slammed into...an HOUR after you have seen the same thing happen two two other buildings in the US?? and after the president has apparently been told "we are at war"..

just sayin'
