At last night’s chat, after Bush pulled the 9/11 card, I joked that I was going to begin a ‘have we forgotten 9/11?’ count. The phrase has become haute couture in certain Beltway and Beltway-wannabe circles, and trend-followers make for such fun targets.

Upon first tuning into the radio this morning, WBMQ’s Ben Bennett is spouting off about the ‘cockroaches’ (fundamentalist Muslims, I assume) and beseeches us listeners, ‘Have we forgotten 9/11?’ This was a sign for me from the cosmic comics to actually begin my count.

So here we are beachcombers - one. One of what will likely be many, many references to ‘forgetting 9/11’. If you have The Gull Reef Club on RSS, it may get crowded in my folder.
