May our courage ever be staunch
As we strive for complete revanche
Don't go get mawkish
On media fed quiche
Resolve will make jihadists blanche.

thanks,doubled. i read this but didn't recall where.

In her newspaper column on Dec. 8, 1942, first lady Eleanor Roosevelt told Americans why she opposed the commemoration of Pearl Harbor. "It is not a date for a holiday," she wrote. "It is a date that should make us work." That was then, in the fashionable phrase of the day, and this is September 11, 2002, and the grandchildren of the World War II generation can afford the indulgence of an extravagantly mawkish anniversary amid what they are told is "war."
