A moment of silence - but not for who you think
Normally I avoid political blogs. But I just have one thing to point out here. We have been listening non-stop for over a week now to the tragedy whores in the media about 9/11. And the loss, the pain, and the tragedy.Not to mention the pathetic attempts by Commander Coo-Coo Bananas who has been parading around like the witless cock that he is hoping with his heartfelt fake sympathy that his approval points will go up from the shitter to maybe just crapper level.
So, how come we don't mourn or mention the 2667 Americans that have lost their lives in the Iraq war.
Why do we spend every September listening to all this crap about the people that died in the terrorist attacks yet we as a country do virtually nothing about almost the exact same number of people that have died in a senseless war?
Don't get me wrong and start sending me hate mail folks. I'm just as sad as the next person over what happened in this country 5 years ago. But it was 5 years ago! Why do we even watch the media whores that interview people just to get a good cry out of them? The media whore that does it only out of hope that the report will earn them some sort of award? And if we have to focus on something let's focus on the parents, wives, husbands, and children that are mourning loved ones that died senselessly in Iraq. What about their pain? What about the families that will have someone show up on their door step tomorrow to tell them that their loved one was killed? What about them?
