Mr man and I have been discussing some long range plans - how to avoid the surely sickening, ht-squeezing the media and “el Presidenté” Bush is going to be doing on 9/11.

Special after special, after preemption after preemption. And I have to bet more than one incomprehensible Bush speech. Count me out.

Not that I want to forget what happened, but it’s time we got over it. And the press and networks milking it for every melodramatic drop does nothing but cheapen every damn death.

It’s not that I’m cold hted or insensitive, it’s just that some things just should be left alone. I don’t like them erasing the towers out of old movies like it never existed either. Nor, the “families” petitioning a removal of the “two Towers” from the title of of the Next Lord of the rings movie because it’s more than stupid - it’s crazy talk. It was there, it’s gone. Don’t rewrite history - grow from it. Don’t be held back by it. I think that’s the largest problem with our country right now, we’re overly squishy, feely-feely and PC.

So, we are planning on not turning the TV on for a few days there, at least till the twelfth. Instead we’re going to rent a bunch of DVD’s, or go see a movie or two.

What are you guys going to watch instead of the melodramatic pabulum?
