#1 One thing that has happened as a result of 9/11 is the reoccurring public appearance of individuals like Kristen Brietweiser. It seems that every anniversary of 9/11, we see the return of the same victims.

Don't get me wrong, I (like many others) have lost a loved one to cowardly terrorists. But the vast majority of us don't subscribe to victimhood, don't use the loss of a loved one in order to publicly endorse a presidental candidate, don't show up on Chris Matthews to attack the president, don't go on Larry King (is he still alive) in order to wallow in our grief.

Losing a loved one to terrorist is like no other loss I've experienced. The grief returns each time we learn of other victims of terrorists. But to publicly portray our grief only enboldens the enemy, who relishes in our grief.

#2 Because of the way the MSM reports things, it's very easy to get pessimistic. But consider:

-- Two of the world's worst tyrranies are out of business, permanently.

-- The Taliban are being systematically hunted to extinction.

-- Osama, if he is still alive at all, is living in a cave and can't show his face.

#4 That mention of Keith Olberman really put me off my feed this morning. He and Mathews are a real pair of douuuuuuuuuuuuuuchebags.
