Red-faced ditto-head at the deli today:

"Has everybody forgotten about 3,000 people who died in New York on September 11th?"

"If that asshole Kerry gets in, we'll have even more problems."

And on and on and on. Barking in a loud voice, almost yelling. I thought he was going to have a heart attack. The guys behind the counter were agreeing with him, rather half-heartedly. I think they just wanted to get rid of him. Yeah, yeah, wotevva.

It's interesting to me that people still think that Iraq attacked the US on 9/11. It doesn't matter that the hijackers were Saudis. That's too subtle a distinction, apparently. All that matters is what "the Ay-rabs" did to us, which justifies whatever we do to "Ay-rabs."
