The World Trade Center reborn as a warship

The USS New York

It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center.

It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.

What's wrong with this picture?

I'm sure it's obvious, but just in case you don't see it, Sticky Notes will explain.

Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem.

Hillary's Petition

Hillary Clinton started a petition to win the hearts of the "invisivible people".

Do You Feel Invisible to Your Government? Petition

Sign-up for the Hillary Clinton for President campaign! Hillary Clinton has spent her life standing up for people others don't see. When Hillary is in the White House, no American will be invisible to the president of the United States.

Join our movement to pass universal health care, achieve energy independence, stop the corruption and cronyism in Washington, and end the war in Iraq - sign up with the campaign today!

I figured hey, I'm sort of invisible too because she can't see me sitting here behind my computer reading her deceptions, so I signed the petition and left this comment:

As long as America has a two-party political system and a free market economy, it will never have the kind of social system the so-called "invisible people" dream off.  What Hillary and her fellow politicians running for office need to do is stop deceiving people who are in need and direct them to the proper channels that are already in place to provide essential human services instead.  Visit http://www.211.org/ for more info.

And I found this Hillary nutcracker at Sticky Notes.  Lovely, ain't it?

Oooh look what we have here!

Yet another mindboggling conspiracy theory.

Khaleej Times Online - Muslim students breach cultural gap with US teens

He doesn’t know Osama bin Laden, but 16-year-old Pakistani student Waleed Nasir found himself answering questions about the Al Qaeda leader during his year as an exchange student in the United States.

The teenager from Karachi was one of a group of 675 students participating in a US State Department-sponsored program that brought Muslim students to the United States as part of a post-Sept. 11 cultural exchange.

So tell me, why do YOU love America?

And if you don't.....tell me, WHY the hell don't ya?
