3. I've started calling it....
National Muslim Hatred Justification Day, or at least that's how the Freeps see it.
Just another excuse to spread their vitriol towards things their pin heads are incapable of understanding.

4. so we can 'celebrate'...?
I understand that BushCo wants to have picnics and barbeques today, but 'holiday' just doesn't feel like the right word

hell who has Dec 7 off?

19. I said the same thing to a co-worker today
when they thought we should have the day off. I asked her when Pearl Harbor became a holiday and when we got the day off for that?

She said, "But that was different." I asked her how. She couldn't come up with anything and conceded that I was probably right. :-)

12. Are There "Sept 11th Day" Sales In Department Stores Yet?
It's not an official holiday until stores hold sales in the Day's honor.
