I took a quick trip through my Google reader this morning, this 7th anniversary of the devastating attack on freedom. The Canadian blogs really intrigued me. Those of us on the right: Shaidle, Dust My Broom, Blazing Cat Fur, Small Dead Animals and more all had tributes to those who died that day.
The blogs of the left: Scott Tribe, Canadian Cynic, Dr. Dawg and Warren Kinsella all write entirely about the Canadian election and why Stephen Harper is eeeevil. Kinsella even adds a very important post about his band’s party tonight – September 11th.
I guess Stephane Dion was right when he said it wasn’t easy (izzy) to make priorities. Rock on, lefties. It must be nice having a childhood that never ends.

Damn! You beat me to it!
Those folks need some serious help…
But Wendy, is so SOOOO much more important to remember December 6, the day that dozens of wimpy Canadian males (like themselves) left helpless young women to die in a Montreal classroom.
Wearing a white ribbon is SOOOOO brave…
Well, as the left knows, 9/11 was a result of ineffective policing.
But it did teach us, or at least some of us, something: confronted with an attacker we attack. Cellphones, laptops, books. Hit hard, hit fast and, with luck, none of the bullets will hit home.
There were four planes on 9/11. One had news of what the Mohammedan bastards were up to. It crashed in a field because a gay rugby player and a bunch of plain folks were heros.
We all have that news now. With luck and guts we will be harder targets. Much harder.
The world is full of tragedy. America’s 9/11 is very far from being the worst. Of course these tragedies matter. But there are too many to memorialize – we’d be doing nothing but memorializing tragedy.
