September 11th

The worst anniversary in American history is almost here.  There aren't enough words to describe how awful that day was or how angry it still makes me feel. I was working at the happiest retail store in the world when it happened.  Before work, I stopped at my Mother's for a cup of coffee and she had it on the television when I got there. Actually, it was all the televisions every where, there was just no getting away from it.
 I recall some of the geniuses of the day, as well.  I believe Bill Maher managed to get himself fired from ABC for opining that we had it coming.  I think of that little bon mot whenever I avoid whatever it is that he is selling. I do not have HBO for that same reason. Any company that is interested in giving him a paycheck doesn't need my money.
There were lots of other incredibly stupid things that were said.  Most of them came days, weeks, or even months later as the strain of trying to appear patriotic was just too much for most liberals.
“As a result of the [9/11] attack and the killing of nearly 3,000 innocent people, we invaded two countries and killed innocent people in their countries.... Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America.” -- Rosie O’Donnell on ABC’s “The View,” Sept. 12, 2006.
So much for being the queen of nice.  Abandoning normality and becoming a lesbian really put an edge on Rosie, didn't it?
Don't get me started on Sean Penn, the genius who visited Iraq at the invitation of Saddam Hussein.  I guess when he came back and told me how great it is there, he missed the tour of the rape rooms, or the thousands  of Kurds who were victims of genocide thanks to Sean's pal.  Hard to believe Madonna was the smarter of the two, isn't it?  It must be that ridiculous affected accent she uses now.  English always sound smarter, don't they?   
But if you are looking for the most stupid per pound in liberal hypocrisy, look no further than the unparalleled Micheal Moore. 

"I would like to apologize for referring to George W. Bush as a 'deserter.' What I meant to say is that George W. Bush is a deserter, an election thief, a drunk driver, a WMD liar, and a functional illiterate. And he poops his pants"

Nice civility yes?

So hold your loved ones a little closer today. Remember how very lucky you are to be able to do that. And more than anything, God bless America.
