Malice Mizer

Today is the 63rd anniversary of the atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima. Courtesy of Eric, here’s the 90’s Japanese glam rock band Malice Mizer with what I suppose is a commentary of some sort about Japan’s militaristic past.

(No, that’s not Michael Jackson!)

Never Forget?

A friend sent me some pictures of the USS New York. The ship includes 7.5 tons of steel that were reclaimed from the wreckage of the World Trade Center.

The motto of the USS New York is “Never Forget,” as seen in this decoration for its christening, on March 1.

Who was responsible for 9/11? Osama bin Laden. Never forget? A mere six months after September 11, 2001, on March 13, 2002, this is what President George W. Bush said about Osama bin Laden. Note: The link for this quote goes to the White House Web site.

“So I don’t know where he is. You know, I just don’t spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you.”
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

Oh, by the way. Today is the seventh anniversary of the daily briefing that Bush was given, saying that Bin Laden was determined to strike within the United States.
