Amazing Grace
Perhaps one of the most dignified tributes to the victims of 9/11 I have ever seen. Simple speech by the mother and a single violin playing. Beautiful.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.


Written by John Newton - interesting story

3. Imagine what the Republicans are going to do...
I for one was very impressed at the level of class and taste that was displayed at the convention so far regarding 9/11; it was simple, not political, and very moving.
What will they do?

4. I Actually Expect Them to Pull Out the Video
of W standing on top of the rubble 5 DAYS after Sept 11 hollering about "the world will hear you" meanwhile the fires were still burning and they were just beginning to bring out the bodies.

Smucks!
