Never Forget

9/11/01 was NOT the date of the last terrorist attack on U.S. soil.



Don't let any news outlet or politician remind you otherwise.

Confirmation: Stu Bykofsky is, indeed, a whore

Shut the fuck up, Stu, you whore!

MY HYPOTHESIS last week that another 9/11 attack would unite America was wrong, judging by e-mail and voice-mail responses. When I stopped reading at 1,000 (lots more unread) roughly 65 percent disagreed with me, many violently and obscenely.

Published early Thursday, the column received moderate response until it was posted on Web sites from right (Drudge) to left (CrooksandLiars). Then my world exploded and I became the flavor of the day.

Interview requests rained in from radio (local, national and Canadian) and TV (Fox News, CNN Headline News.) I accepted as many as I could.

(emphasis mine)

The column is basically a very long-winded pat-on-the-back for having successfully stirred up so many reader responses. Stu then digs to the very bottom of the mail bag and shares only the dumbest, most insane, most off-topic conspiracy theories to make himself look better and smarter than his readers by comparison.

Stu Bykofsky must be an attention whore

In case you haven't seen this yet, yesterday Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky wrote this:

America's fabric is pulling apart like a cheap sweater.

What would sew us back together?

Another 9/11 attack.

The Golden Gate Bridge. Mount Rushmore. Chicago's Wrigley Field. The Philadelphia subway system. The U.S. is a target-rich environment for al Qaeda.

Is there any doubt they are planning to hit us again?

America's collective response: "Go fuck yourself, Stu!"

Reactions:
Philly Will Do
Atrios
Crooks & Liars
Digg
Kiko's House

I just can't imagine a scenario in which both Stu and his editors at the Daily News thought this topic might be appropriate. The premise is so aggressively stupid that I can only come up with one reason for it, and that's that Stu Bykofsky must be an attention whore. The headline for the story might as well have read "I'm an asshole that wants innocent Americans to die! Digg this!"

I'm continually amazed by people that write and say stuff like this, seemingly without a single thought as to what people's reactions might be. They just throw it out there, consequences be damned.
