Now for the angry September 11th post

From The New York Times:
Sunday evening, Mr. Bush paid tribute to the victims, laying wreathsin small reflecting pools at ground zero, one in the footprint of eachtower. It was a hint of life in a place that still brims with memoriesof death, a reminder that even five years later, the attacks are not sovery distant.

He vowed that he was “never going to forget the lessons of that day.”

Oh no? How come all of the goodwill and togetherness got swept away so you could continue doing as you wanted? Perhaps because you played hate politics to stay in power? Do you not remember how it was immediately after? How people came together and how the world wanted to help us, help us heal, share our grief? Perhaps you don't remember, Mr. Bush. Maybe Jon Stewart can remind you. (Link stolen from newredshoes, but I'm sure she'd encourage me to pass it on).

(Sidenote: If it's civil liberties you're concerned about, we should be hanging Lincoln in effigy rather than praising him as our greatest president. Or FDR, for that matter.)

I always thought Washington was celebrated as the greatest president, not Lincoln. Lincoln was at best second, but I'd say both Roosevelts and Kennedy get to be in the running, too. And, of course, if you ask half the country, Reagan.

I'm a James K. Polk fan, myself.
