Do greed and bad taste have no limits?

apparently not.

What pisses me off is the idea that to mourn the atrocity of 9/11 is by definition to become some kind of rah-rah flag-waving this-is-no-time-to-question-the-president's-actions patriotdroid. Can't I just be upset because some people died senselessly? Can't I just feel respect for the individuals who tried to help when it mattered? Why does it have to be grandiose and abstract?

I live in New York. I could smell the burning for a week after. The people on the upper floors who were incinerated? I inhaled them. Put that on a fucking greeting card.
