All this mosque chatter has me in something is wrong on the internet mode. I try to avoid it, but sometimes the temptation to get sucked in is too much.
There have been two functioning mosques in lower Manhattan for years. One has been operating since 1970. What exactly is the no mosques allowed zone around the sacred area that is ground zero? Is it two blocks? Seven? The island of Manhattan? The tri-state area? Are food carts allowed to sell falafel and halal foods while Chinese made trinkets that state "never forget' are sold within the footprint?
America has never met a wedge issue it cannot milk to death.
The tenth anniversary next year is going to be a massive amount of, well, something. Plenty of t-shirts, commemorative coins and crap from the Franklin Mint for everyone.
Most times, I find videos of baby animals and post them to Facebook. It's very soothing.
Blood pressure has dropped already.

Thanks for the gangly baby giraffe. It helped.
And it's just starting to run. Awww. Simply but the baby animal of your choice into Youtube's search and you're bound to settle your brain.
Sweet! The baby jaguars are way too cute. Thanks for the pick-me-up!
The opposition to the mosque is unbelievable. Obama's backpeddling and some Democrats' opposition (with others avoiding the issue as best they can) is unbelievable. This sort of issue dearly tests my faith in humanity.

This country is filled with a bunch of knee jerk tools.
It's been in our papers and the letters to the editor are fairly evenly split (perhaps more on the side of building the mosque). But still, that there is opposition and the kind of commentary that comes with the opposition...please! We have lots of knee jerk tools as well. I think you should write a poem about them!

I try not to write about what everyone else is going to write about, that makes me different ;)
That failed a few weeks ago when myself and three other poets had Lebron James poems.
Check your email, Nammu, I sent you something.
