His name was Dennis, and he was a big Yankee fan. He knew a lot about baseball. Had a thing against Mike Mussina, I don’t know why, but like any good Yankee fan he was as fair as could be in comparing his boys to other teams.

His wife informed us that he was in the 97th floor of Tower 2 when it was hit, and has vanished. Even she believes he is dead. What did Dennis do to deserve that? Nothing, of course, because logic and morality and ethics don’t matter to terrorists.

Fucking asshole bin Laden. I hope he dies screaming in a napalm strike. I hope he burns for a good long time.
