Never forget.


How many Americans can tell you the date on which Pearl Harbor occurred? Probably considerably fewer than could tell you when the World Trade Center collapsed. Why? Because, to my consternation, the media is milking this for all it's worth. And come on, can anyone tell me they never heard the words "let's roll" before? I agree, never forget. If we're true to history, though, we will. Either that, or all our memories will be vis-a-vis Paula Zahn. It's a sick, sad world.
