Lets see how many park fans I can piss off with this..
It's September 11th and I am on media overload.
We lived it five years ago in real time. We saw the planes and the destruction. We saw the missing posters and devastated families. We saw Vice President Bush with the bullhorn in the publicity shot.
Why do we need all these specials and made for TV movies?
"September 11th, The Day of Tragedy"
"September 11th, A Nation Remembers"
"September 11th, Then and Now"
The ABC movie wasn't even a documentary folks. It was a scripted "dramatization". Did we not have enough drama when we watched it five years ago? Do you think we might be rubbing salt in the wounds of the families affected?.. Kids watching planes flying into buildings and reminding them yet again that they are orphans? How about we have memorial services everywhere and show up if you want a seat? It was a moment of national devastation people, we don't need special presentations or Hallmark cards. Bogus.
So five years later here we sit Bin Laden-less and alienating half the world. Of course Vice President Bush is going to be hogging my TV tonight with chants of "war on terror". I got news for yall, the "war on terror" isn't going to be over for another 861 days.
Oh how we are a society that likes to run with scissors.
Okay I'm done for now. Don't need to make it any easier for the Secret Service to identify me when they break into my house in the middle of the night to take me to Guantanamo.

You have lost at least one tooth opening a beer bottle.
