That is as obvious to me as the fact that a single bullet, once fired, can easily hit two people seven times. Denying these obvious truths is as foolish as not believing that Osama bin Laden was killed earlier this year only because the government never presented any proof of it.Suvorovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478802923961398964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-9324964965822516972011-09-13T03:29:39.784-04:002011-09-13T03:29:39.784-04:00Life without television (one has had no television...Life without television (one has had no television since the 1970's) is an interesting proposition. Among other things, for example, one nicely missed the iconization of the destruction of the World Trade Center by what one read was incessant repetition on TV.<br /><br />As a matter of fact, one was in the World Trade Towers only once, at the restaurant, and that building swayed so much one began to wonder how anyone eating there could count it as a good meal rather than seasickness.<br /><br />This is admittedly a very primitive apprehension and quasi-Debordian.<br /><br />Later on, naturally, one ran across snippets of videos about the attack online, which, from other stories, one concluded must have been the work of Saddam Hussein, no?<br /><br />How else did 9/11 pertain to the attack and occupation of Iraq unless the Iraqis were behind it?<br /><br />Never forget!<br /><br />Or was it Serbia by anticipation?<br /><br />Now, of course, one realizes it must have been Libya that was responsible. But the US and NATO are taking care of that, along with Libya's oil and what the World Bank estimates is a couple of hundred tons of Libyan gold.<br /><br />That's tons.<br /><br />Without television one also missed the various commemorations, including the ten year anniversary celebrations, the declaration of a new national holiday (ironically following hard upon "Labor Day"), and most importantly, the canonization of the event in the opening day of the NFL professional football season.<br /><br />Had you realized that 9/11 is also the day Pinochet overthrew Allende and the elected government of Chile?<br /><br />Ah well.<br /><br />Anyway, isolated from the US mainstream media in its televised form, one often makes various amusing misreadings.<br /><br />A story yesterday about the "9/ll Memorial Plaza", for example, one misread while scanning the news as the "9/11 Memorial Pizza."<br /><br />Opening the story, one immediately realized the mistake.<br /><br />Not "pizza" but "plaza".<br /><br />After due consideration, however, one concluded that it is not as far-fetched as it seems. Surely a "9/ll Memorial Pizza" is on the way--something microwaveable to be eaten as a snack while watching the 9/ll Memorial NFL opening game.<br /><br />The pizza really should be red, white, and blue. Tomatoes take care of the red, mozzarella cheese of the white--but there are so few blue foods (something to do with cyanide).<br /><br />Will a bluish purple do--perhaps eggplant?<br /><br />Bon appetit.Eugene Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15649417453647803409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-24178470337824251972011-09-11T22:29:05.105-04:002011-09-11T22:29:05.105-04:00That;s a pretty good summary.That;s a pretty good summary.Steve Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283123400540587033noreply@blogger.com
