Fuck "God Bless America"
I'm sick of it. During baseball games "blah blah baseball remembers those who died on 9/11"

IT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO LET IT GO

I just want to watch my baseball game without any involvement of jingoism, thanks.

1. yeah, I don't get it
After all, it's a freakin' show tune, not some official national song.

I miss Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

(Actually, I think most stadiums have cut out the God Bless crap. Which game was this?)

2. Yeah, and besides,
doesn't that just seem like wishful thinking these days? That there's a god? That s/he thinks this country deserves a blessing and not a swift-moving plague?
