People seem to have forgotten who the men were who did 9/11. This will remind them which country they came from. The fact that some of the 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia was largely ignored at the time that it happened, so why would it matter now? Within moments, people were saying they were from Iraq or Canada or any number of places. ---

> [@Absolute](#): > > Once again, what does a _bombing_ have to do with the use of the 2nd amendment? “Second amendment remedies” refer to watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants. I would not expect such patriots to concern themselves with such pedantry as the distinction between firearms and explosives in the throwing off the shackles of oppression. ---

In the morning, mounted re-enactors (National Lancers - Massachusetts) with state police escorts retrace the rides of Paul Revere and William Dawes, calling out warnings the whole way. ---

Let’s save a little outrage for the continuing Republican blocking of the appointment of an ATF director. Since they’re one of the agencies that respond to events like this, it sure would be nice if the agency had a director and the staff had clear lines of authority. But since the public safety takes a second place to continued fealty to the Second Half Of The Second Amendment, this stonewalling will continued. So eat shit, Repubicans! ---

We are to be subjected to the same ten seconds of videotape a couple thousand times. But does it seem to anyone else that the explosions were rather small? And the timing? I would have thought that a terrorist would have timed for maximum drama, as the first runners cross the line. Bad craziness. ---
