You know, she may have been serious - - but more likely in a "venting" sorta way. About a week before she wrote that piece, thousands of innocent Americans who were simply going about their daily business were murdered in horrific fashion. She even had a friend, Barbara Olsen, who was killed in the Pentagon crash. So, whatever Ann said is fine and dandy with me. I just don't think it's nice for people to keep beating her up about it.

1. "Many families have been devastated tonight. This just is not right. They did not deserve to die. If someone did this to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who DID NOT VOTE for him! Boston, New York, DC, and the planes' destination of California--these were places that voted AGAINST Bush!" --Michael Moore, Michaelmoore.com, September 12
Or Sunera Thobani:
"There will be no emancipation for women anywhere on this planet until the Western domination of this planet is ended." --Sunera Thobani, professor at the University of British Columbia, speaking at a feminist conference in Ottawa, October 1
Or Ted Rall (whose incoherent drivel is STILL being featured at Yahoo!, meanwhile Coulter is fired):
"It may have seemed meaningless at the time, but now we know why 7,000 people sacrificed their lives: So that we'd all forget how Bush stole a presidential election." --Cartoonist Ted Rall, Philadelphia City Paper, September 27
Or Oliver Stone:
"Six men [the heads of Viacom, Fox News Corp., Disney, Vivendi, Sony, and Time Warner-AOL] are deciding what you're seeing in film, and they own all the small companies.... Now, within reason, they let [filmmakers] do certain things, and that is far better obviously than, say, the Arabs where they don't let you do anything, and I agree it's relative. But we are in a dilemma. We have too much order.... And I think the revolt on September 11 was about order. It was about f--- you, f--- your order... And is it time perhaps to reconsider the world order? Is it time to wonder why the banks have joined the movie companies and all the corporations, and where this is all going?" --Oliver Stone, quoted by Jeffrey Wells on Reel.com, October 10
