Artists rendition of Reflecting Absence -- what a great name!
Memorial at Ground Zero is underway.
There will be twin pools in the footprints of the twin towers surrounded by an arbor of trees. The names of the victims grouped by their location at the time of the attacks will be inscribed on parapets along the periphery.
I am stunned that after all the rancor and hysteria about the memorial this simple and beautiful design will be the final memorial and all the other stuff will be underground where it belongs.

Try reading Glenn Greenwald at Salon on the GZM.
Make sure you have your blood pressure meds handy, though.
Most astonishing is the sheer analytical failure displayed by the persistent inability to distinguish between Muslims and Islam, compounded by resolutely ignoring there are real reasons to view Islam with something between disdain and loathing.
It is funny, though, that liberals persistently painting rational dislike for mindless bigotry and phobia has created something like 70% of New Yorkers against the damn thing.
My BP is on the low side, but even so, I don't read the lunatic left and I'm about ready to stop reading the righteous right as well.
Being called a racist from both sides of the aisle is getting tedious.
By the righteous right, do you mean OJ?
I almost never go there anymore, but I did pay a visit a few weeks ago to see if there was any reaction to the GZM.
Apparently, one is a bigot for questioning a religion that hates Jews (among other repellent notions).
Odd.
I think he might have been taken over by the same demons that got that Andrew Sullivan and Charles Johnson (LGF). For a long time, I thought his contrariness was for effect and to stir the pot, but now I think an intervention may be needed. He actually deleted a comment I made because the link although accurate, wasn't "mainstream."
Too bad. The strings there were so much fun.
