Sorry to get all serious here, but there's something I really need to get off my chest.

I have to say, I'm really disappointed in the Bush administration, the news media and even Hollywood for completely forgetting that tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of 9/11. I mean, come on, just because it was 5 years ago doesn't mean you can just ignore it like it never happened! Even one lousy mention somewhere on TV, online or in the paper would have been nice. You'd think it would be a hot topic, what with the midterm elections just around the corner. But nothing. Not a peep. It's a disgrace in my opinion.

Thanks for letting me vent. I feel better already.
