In Memoriam

Fourteen years ago today, more than 2,000 innocent people were killed in a series of cowardly and cruel attacks on the United States. Today, we should remember those poor souls whose lives were snuffed out so violently.

I think it's safe to say that those responsible for this abberation stand among the world's biggest bell-ends of all time. To commit such a heinous crime upon innocent civilians who did nothing to deserve it is evil, pure and simple.

The Bell-Ends

How can we trust people like this to make decisions that affect our lives? They may cry that what they did was legal - and it may very well be. But, is it moral to abuse their expenses as they did? I would say not.

These people should not still be in office. They have been proven morally bankrupt, and should be removed immediately.
