I'm Sorry

...but that's just obscene.

Memorial Cost at Ground Zero Nears $1 Billion

They've raised $130 million in private donations. Seems like you could build a helluva reflecting pool with some trees around it for that. Leave off the gaudy bullsh*t and get something built.

Enough already.

Boy, those bastards really did give the US economy a major blow, didn't they? Well, those families who lost loved ones should really be consoled that they didn't get that extra $350k per, because it may have served as a constant reminder of their loss.

It's obscene how bloated this has become.

Not surprising though, sadly.

Speaking of bloated, have you ever noticed how much leftie commenters tend to resemble Jabba the Hutt's buddy, Salacious B. Crumb?

Sadly, I had to send Burgess this email a little while ago:

Dear Scott,

Let me help you out a bit with your email thanking me for the 20 quid I PayPalled to your account while you were avoiding shoe shopping in NYC.

Dan,

Thanks so much for your contribution. I'm glad that you enjoyed the [Mark Steyn] Monologues. I am not now, nor have I ever been Mexican, though, so you'd better check the email address from which you received that bad intelligence.

I may take the missus out to that Danish restaurant again, or I may buy a bottle of good Portofino. I haven't decided yet.

P.S. The way you chased off "Sunny" with your rapping was amusing.

Best,
Scott

Just forward it back to me, and I'll be satisfied.

Thanks,
Dan
