And how many days has it been since 9/11, 2001?

What the Hell is taking so long? We're more interested in turning some "9/11 Memorial Commission" into a permanent grief-and-grievance industry than we are on building the replacement for the twin towers. Building the damned thing is the best memorial to not only the victims of that terrible day, but to American resilience and our can-do spirit.
