Does ANYONE really care about D-Day?

That was the question I asked myself when I saw that disgusting SKANK JLo on the inside of the Daily News special edition yesterday. Ronald Reagan dying? Ok, he was 93. Alzheimer's ate his brain away, we knew the end was inevitable. The 80's really are over. Despite him tripling the national debt and giving no credence whatsoever to the scourge of AIDS (which took so many of my teachers and choreographers from me), people dug the guy. I can't say I didn't get a kick out of knowing he liked Jelly beans. That was the only thing that made me smile, really. Didn't matter that I couldn't vote back in 1980, I would have never chosen him anyway.



And our veterans? The Daily News shoved them back to page 10 or 11. That's right--a rice and bean eating princess with shit for brains and no taste once again gets on the front page. Can I puke again? Turns out Mr. Anthony's divorce just came through June 1. I'm sure his ex-wives feel really happy about that. Looks like these two are made for each other--the only class they have is LOW. JLOW. That makes a nicer spelling in my book.



So, we are allowed to feel complacent and lazy while we lose more veterans year after year. Given the fact that we're in a war we shouldn't be in? This would have made a fantastic segue to the contrasts between then and now. I think the biggest is back then we had a clear enemy: Germany & Hitler. Now? Who knows where the next attack will come? If these crazed cretins want to blow up something, the technology is there for them to put it in a tie tack or a computer chip. And of course, they'll be on student visas, too. How lovely. I don't think for one minute that Ashcroft, The CIA, or Dubya have done their jobs. I don't feel safe at all and I confess to nightmares that Lady Liberty gets hit with a bomb or a plane. It's made me jump out of bed in a cold sweat. Or, they blow up the Golden Gate Bridge, a marvelous structure. This country's layout is equal opportunity, and is the government really doing its job? Is the media?



If a 60-year anniversary isn't important enough to go on the front page, I don't think so. It really is about what sells papers, isn't it.



I'm sick. Really and truly.
