The spire atop One World Trade Center has been fully installed and the structure has reached its symbolic height of 1,776 feet. The finishing touches were put in place this morning and the building now becomes the tallest in the Western Hemisphere.

Did you mean The Surrender Tower at One White Flag Center? Because that's a far more apt name and address than "Freedom Tower". The original WTC - that represented something radical islamists have since destroyed - is not "back".

This eyesore is rightly referred to as The Surrender Tower, with an address of One White Flag Center. That which was epitomized by the original towers is anything but "back".

Posted by: goy at May 12, 2013 9:41 AMIn order to control the spam storms the filter is set to reject a lot of comments that contain a url in an unpublished state.
This means they are held until I see them and personally allow them to be published.
This is necessary since the spam filter catches at least 400 - 2000 spam comments a day that are not published int he blog.
If the filter recognizes you as an approved commenter it holds you url containing comment in a stack waiting for approval.
That means I have to actively call the page.
I am not in a position to do so 24 hours a day.
