No mention of that here
I seem to have forgotten something today. I can't remember what it is. I managed to bring both my shoes and a pair of pants to work. Hell, I remembered to go to work. The Red Sox won (Verbal Jazz knows he is an insufferable Red Sox fan) and some guy named bin Laden has seemed to age like a fading Hollywood star, since his picture last appeared in the paper (assuming that is the real bin Laden, not some out of work actor taking any gig he can get). So, welcome to annual media milking year 2, perhaps the best day to stay away from the TV or radio as fewer voices urge us to "Never Forget."
Perhaps the President will push through legislation next year making today a Holiday, and getting rid of that pesky Labor Day (what did working people ever do for us, anyway?). Pushing to make it Holiday would effectively serve to shift the national debate from economy/Iraq/civil liberties to another with us/for us debate just in time for election 2004, and if it goes through we would have another good day to sleep in and fire up the barbecue and, oh yeah, memorialize. [Note of caution: the previous paragraph was pure imaginative speculation, not hard news fact.]
