I hear there are elementary schools in Florida who need reading to.

Not commemorating death gives the dead person a sad. Really, I think this is why we think it's necessary to go on doing it.

Obama can come to my house for 9/11 festivities. We read "My Pet Goat" aloud, imagining we are President Bush in a nightmare where he can't move while his fellow citizens are falling from the sky.

Then we have a "Mossad agent" symbolically tip over two chairs. (It's actually my cousin wearing a Mossad agent costume.) Later a third chair will tip over after we detonate the plastic explosive hidden in its cushion.

From there we put on keffiyahs and dance like Palestinians. It's supposed to be a dance of sorrow, but it looks like a dance of joy. Palestinians have very nuanced dance style.

Finally we build a triumph mosque in the family room which is also the "community center" where we have the TV and cheese fries.

Sure hope he comes.

WOW! You were only TWO BLOCKS away from ground zero*! That puts you <i>inside</i> the terror mosk. Did they decapitate you like they did to Sarah Palin's mannequin head? Did they subject you to triumphalist propaganda? Make you swim in their pool? ________________ * it's funnier this way
