Crescent of Embrace: The Flight 93 Memorial Americans Do not Want
It is the memorial which Americans do not want and it is the symbolic memory they do not care to embrace.
It is a travesty really. The Americans who died taking the fight all the way to the cockpit of Flight 93 are deserving of a memorial. Due to the "award winning" design, it will end up being the least visited memorial in American history.
Whilst the architects state the design "coincidental", the truth is that terrorists who worship under the symbol of a crescent turned our commercial flights into missiles with human components. The truth is that there were no hugs-all-around as the missiles sped to their targets. It was sheer terror for the passengers.
Lemme see: If 19 Christians commandeer flights and pilot them straight into Mecca and Madinah, the award winning and coincidental design will be a "Cross of Reconciliation".
It seems that former President Bill Clinton (seated atop his billion dollar empire) could cough up the remaining millions required to spiff up the memorial. Instead, he asks Americans to lend their support to one of the most damning examples of political correctness in the 21st century. Former President Bush and Speaker of the House John Boehner also make a plea. May their request not fall on deaf ears. May it fall on the ears of those who still remember what would have been the screams of terrified Americans as men shouting to their god accomplished their operational goal.
Do you hear the sound? The memorial should have been titled, "Fist of Defiance". Flight 93 went down with knuckles bared. A cadre of American men chose the face of evil as their last glimpse of earthly life. Raise your fist with me today. We are Americans. There is no national "embrace" for those who would still seek to kill us on sovereign soil.

Shaken Baby Syndrome
During the final weeks of the Genghis Khan Exhibition the cadre of volunteers are working very hard. This week and the next a total of 7,000 children will come to see us and receive a glimpse of the intersection of history and artifacts.
On Tuesday I was holding a replica of a bow, such as the one used by Mongol warriors. The small children were lined up to give a try at pulling the bowstring and testing their little muscles. One little girl grabbed the bow with her right hand but her left hand was limp and curled in unusual manner. After assisting her I asked the educator the nature of injury.
"Shaken baby".
O.K. So a little girl suffers a stroke injury because an adult had a bad temper and could not control anger responses.
Put a ripe tomato in a Mason jar and screw on the lid. Shake the jar hard a few times. That is what happens inside the skull of a baby.
Think about it.

White Castle Lawsuit
Martin Kessman is mad at his local White Castle restaurant. He believes they are in violation of the American with Disabilities Act. To put it bluntly, Mr. Kessman is morbidly obese. He is upset that the seating does not fit his fat-laden frame.
Perhaps the American taxpayer should sue individuals like Mr. Kessman. Whilst his arse is putting quite the strain on the seat at White Castle, his obesity will eventually place a tremendous strain on our healthcare system.
Speaking of strain.... An area hospital has a neat little plaque behind the wall-mounted toilets in patient rooms. It advises those who weigh greater than 300 pounds to drag their bulk down to the lobby. The common area bathrooms have floor-mounted toilets. I once worked in a hospital where a female client pulled a toilet off the wall and created a flooding incident. True story.
Mr. Kessman does not need a lawyer. He needs a doctor. His weight requires a physical exam and an aggressive diet and exercise program.

Labor Day Locusts
It is that time again....
It is time to open the pantry on Labor Day and allow a plague of locusts to wipe out every food morsel in the house. Our son is bringing a few hungry guys over for meat on the grill and home-cooked goodies. I have informed him that he can invite the residents on his floor, but not the whole dorm building.
This morning one of his roommates chirped happily into the phone, "Hi, Mom!" After telling him about the amber waves of grain that await him I began to hear the sound of beating wings and the drone of the locusts. The guys burst into cheers and one of them exclaimed, "She is beautiful!" What he really meant, is that I look like a casserole and a homemade piece of pie. Food looks like love to teenage boys.
My son piped off to the caged chimps otherwise known as college boys, "Respect my Mom!" As I hung up the phone the hoots, grunts and additional guttural sounds of bonding were still in play.
I trekked to the grocery store and loaded the cart. After looking at the food supply I turned around and trundled back to the grocery store for a few more snacks. By Tuesday, my husband and I will be fighting over the one remaining can of beans left in the pantry.
Happy Holiday!
