Man, that's a little on the tasteless side, isn't it. Oh well, not nearly tasteless enough for me to pitch a fit over. Besides, Rudy pretty much brought it upon himself what with every 10th word out of his mouth being "9-11"

Are you trying to be hurtful?

Speaking of the sunshine state, I think the DEA really wishes that the cops down there had just given this guy back his minivan:

I can just imagine the drug warriors trying to uproot the entirety of American agriculture looking for hybrids like this.

JCR - that's a great great story. Hope someone at Reason can blog it in full...

Mr John C. Randolph,

That's too funny! Thank you for posting that up! I am in your debt!

JCR - If any man deserves a Medal of Freedom (a private one, not the Bush award for incompetency above and beyond the call of duty), it is that professor.

If you want 9/11 tastelessness, watch the South Park segment of The Aristocrats. They managed to top themselves, which I didn't think was possible. Great stuff.

Still too soon!

Wincing here.

JCR- Great story, thanks


"Tasteless" is some fucking martinet clambering over dead bodies trying to obtain a political advantage. I piss on the grave of the Ghoul's Presidential aspirations.

I guess I'll just have to get over watching those 3,000 people die. No biggie.

DavidS|2.1.08 @ 9:48AM|#

Tasteless is more palatable when combined with funny - not the case here.

|2.1.08 @ 9:51AM|#

I'm surprised by my reaction, but those recognizeable cut-off structural bits on the rubble were really a kick in the pants.

Tasteless is using 9/11 to go to pre-emptive war against a country that had nothing to do with it, while ignoring the mastermind behind the attacks.

Who else would I mean? ;)

Rule of thumb: anything labeled as "a funny" is likely not funny.

What the hell. Screw anyone who's amused by that shit. Mock Rudy all you want, but there is no humor to be drawn from 9/11 imagery. I get that the big criticism is his "9/11 milking," but there are less lazy and vile ways of conveying that sentiment.

Let's lighten up just a little, folks. If Hitler can be funny, anything can.

And to hell with Godwin's Law.

Have you seen CatsThatLookLikeHitler.com?

The sun and the blackbird.

Like a nightingale
coming back in the
dark I hear a
glimmer escaping
in the twigs of
a quietness, and
finally a martin,
smiling and tender.

That is more than a little tasteless.
