Or, as Forrest Gump would say, “Life is like a box of chocolates, though a box of chocolates is an inanimate object incapable of rational thought or understanding of its actions, unlike the director of parks and recreation at Deerfield Beach, FL, who thinks it’s appropriate to play a tape of screaming 9/11 victims during the town’s Fourth of July celebration (here).
Even more ridiculous is his quote in the last sentence of the story where he says, ‘If it were Memorial Day, no one would have minded’. Uh, yeah…they would have minded, seeing that Memorial Day is intended to honor our service people and not civilians who were murdered by Middle Eastern cowards. It just shows that 9/11 is still an abstraction to many people who were not directly affected by it or know someone who was, and is instead an excuse for some cheap display of faux patriotism in the hope that it will never be put to the ultimate test."
"That’s all I’ve got to say about that.”
(not much of an imitation, I know...)
P.S. - Speaking of 9/11, can someone let me know when the Bushco Justice Department actually convicts somebody involved with that terrible day and decides to stop harassing reporters instead over leaked information from Karl Rove? Thanks a lot.
