In the United States, people have taken pains to banish it from the record of September 11, 2001.


“People?” Go ahead and say it. Media suppressed jumper photos because the narrative was not to produce anger at an outrage but grief at what was all-too-soon labeled ‘a tragedy.’

It worked, of course, as we gradually replaced flying the American flag from our cars to hanging ubiquitous yellow ribbons, the symbol of grief and longing. I think Trump is the last chance we have to rescue a maudlin, fearful country from surrendering to the forces of shut-up-and-take-it.

P.S. What’s the time and location for the, ‘Million Man Moderate Muslim March,’ tomorrow?

*SPIT*
