The height of irony in this loonytunes country -- let's have a parade!
Let's not forget Herr Rumsfeld has a big Pentagon Party/Parade scheduled for Sept 11 called "America Supports You Freedom Walk"!

http://www.buzzmachine.com/index.php/2005/08/10/not-a-dry-eye-in-the-house/

The Pentagon will hold a massive march and country music concert to mark the fourth anniversary of 9/11, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said in an unusual announcement tucked into an Iraq war briefing yesterday.

“This year the Department of Defense will initiate an America Supports You Freedom Walk,” Rumsfeld said, adding that the march would remind people of “the sacrifices of this generation and of each previous generation.”

The march will start at the Pentagon, where nearly 200 people died on 9/11, and end at the National Mall with a show by country star Clint Black.


Do you think the citizens of NOLA could "walk to freedom" or will they be contributing a special float this year?

1. Let's rename it..
Bush says Fuck You Walk... and show up with pitchforks and torches.


I'm disgusted over this even more now than I was when they planned it, cancel this goddamn thing, it's just not right.

2. Can we start by asking Rummy for a sacrifice or two?

How dare they?
In light of what has happened, the least they can do is cancel their retarded horror show.

We have got to find a way to take all the joy out of this for them. Make them sorry they didn't cancel it, on their own, out of respect. They don't deserve to celebrate on what should be a national day of mourning, particularly in light of what has just occurred.

If they go on with his stupid parade, they aren't just negligent,...they are monsters.

Dammit--where is the smilie giving the finger when you need it?
