In Other-Than-Katrina news, I just read something on Little Green Footballs that is just too unbelievable. I really hope LGF and I haven't fallen for some hoax from the Onion or something. The picture you see there is a model of the design for the memorial that has been chosen for the field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania where Flight 93 went down on September 11, 2001. If you haven't already noticed, the memorial is in the shape of the Muslim crescent with star. Coincidence? No. Apparently, the name of the memorial is "Crescent of Embrace". The nitwit designer apparently thought it would be a good idea to let bygones be bygones and somehow bring the passengers of Flight 93 and their killers closer together in death... or something disturbed and multicultural like that. A commenter to the LGF blog made a good point: Having a crescent and star at the Flight 93 site is like having a memorial in the shape of a swastika at a Holocaust site.
I can't wait to see how long this memorial lasts before public pressure forces these morons who approved it to drop it like a hot potato. Then again, I hope it really is a hoax.
Good Day to You, Sir

Unfortunately, this is not a hoax. Here is a link to the story on the website for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Sick, Sick, Sick!
