Give sorrow words;
the grief that does not speak
Whispers the o’er-fraught heart
and bids it break.
~ William Shakespeare, in Macbeth, Act IV, Scene III

“If I am to wear this mourning cloak, let it be made of the fabric of love, woven by the fine thread of memory.”
~ Molly Fumia

Remember.

Ever.

Here is the video everyone is talking about.

Solidarity.

via Hot Air.

Note:  THE CLIP BELOW IS PARODY, IT IS NOT REAL.

I find the Onion equally funny and distasteful, depending on the subject, which makes them effective neutral in my opinion.

Satire, by definition, should sting.  Wiki says “In satire, human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up to censure by means of ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, or other methods, ideally with an intent to bring about improvement.  Although satire is usually meant to be funny, the purpose of satire is not primarily humour in itself so much as an often quite angry attack on something the author strongly disapproves, using the weapon of wit.”

I am of mixed feelings with this, so I cannot say if they lived up to this definition or not, but I can see that it was the intent.

The victims of satire here are both TSA Screeners, who have been criticized for being lax in their duties, and the Main Stream Media, whose quest for sensationalism has sometimes led them to dangerous waters, such as releasing classified information that damages national security, just to get the scoop.

Seems an incredible slap in the face, but its true.  8 of the 19 Hijackers had used phoney documents or loopholes in the state law to obtain drivers licenses, and under the Motor Voter act had also been allowed to register to vote.

Makes you feel real secure in our system, doesn’t it?  Because nowit is easier then ever before to do both.

Eight 9-11 Hijaacckers Were Registereed to Vote: Will MSM ‘Drive’ Story?

The fact has been out there for some time, but never garnered much media attention. Now, in the context of the current debate over the granting of driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, will there be renewed focus on this chilling reality? Could this be the factoid that changes a presidential election? As John Fund wrote in his Wall Street Journal column today and discussed during his “Morning Joe” appearance:

After 9/11, the Justice Department found that eight of the 19 hijackers were registered to vote.

View video of Fund’s “Morning Joe” appearance here.

And what made it so simple for them to register? As Fund explains:

911 Truthers are the poster children of deranged conspiracy theory fools. 

They love to confront anyone to forward their insanity, like when Bill Maher turkey walked them off of his live show last week (strong language warning).

This week they tangled with former President Clinton, who was also in no mood for it.

Here are clips from both and as a bonus, the last clip is Bill’s opinion of the Truthers from his New Rules segment.

I admit I give many liberals a bad time for their ideology, but in this case it goes to show that even liberals have their limits on irrationality.  Maybe there is some hope.

So as another 9/11 passes us, here is a final round of 9/11 related stories.  The last one is the one I am the happiest about.

RELIGION OF PEACE: We’ll cut off head of ‘prostitute’ Britney Spears

Terrorists: We’ll cut off head of ‘prostitute’ Britney Spears.  Madonna also targeted by jihad leaders who warn of ’spreading satanic culture’

Well here the Islamics might actually find common ground with some Christian fundamentalists, though I personally doubt the Moral Majority would resort to beheading.

The threats, recorded on audio, come as Madonna is due to arrive in Israel Wednesday to celebrate the Jewish new year with fellow Kabbalah practitioners.

“If I meet these whores I will have the honor – I repeat, I will have the honor – to be the first one to cut the heads off Madonna and Britney Spears if they will keep spreading their satanic culture against Islam,” said Muhammad Abdel-Al, spokesman and senior leader of the Popular Resistance Committees terror organization.

Thus speaks the Religion of Peace.

Al-Qaeda to release third 9/11 video

I will let you the reader make up your own mind if this is significant or not.  I personally think it is, that it is a part of that core difference between liberals and conservatives.

I will not say by any means this is conclusive, or that it is absolute.  Some on both sides of this issue routinely act as the exception to the rule.

But the sheer numbers support a trend whether we like it or not.   I have for your examination several from each camp.

• Pigs of War (by Cindy Sheehan)

Pigs of War come in both political colors of red and blue. We are all unfortunately very familiar with the red pigs. The pigs of war who manipulated, cherry-picked, stove-piped and manufactured intelligence to suggest to the world that Saddam had mushroom cloud producing WMD and something to do with the tragic events of 9-11 that occurred six years ago now.
