Nice Goin', Genius

So I didn't watch the speech (did anyone outside the Beltway?) last night, but it seems our president remains fond of invoking "the lessons of 9/11" when discussing Iraq.

Shoulders tensing. Teeth grinding. Blood boiling.

As someone who was pretty near the action that morning, I hate having anything related to 9/11 being invoked for any purpose other than solemn remembrance. Don't assume I learned the same fucking lessons you did, Mr. President. After all, some people think one of the lessons from Jesus Christ's crucifixion is that it's OK to hate the Jews.

So whatever fucked up, condescending, bullshit lessons you learned from 9/11, Mr. President, I'd appreciate it if you'd keep them to yourself from now on.
