It's annual I Told You So day again.

I remember in 2001 how angry people were at me for being so cynical. I said the republicans would use the event as a way to institute martial law and build up the military. They'd use it as a weapon against liberals. They'd use it as a justification to invade Iraq. They'd use it as a weapon against immigrants and non-christians.

Everyone was outraged at me. They said the repubs were not a bunch of monsters and that surely they wouldn't be using such a horrible tragedy to their gain. No one could be that shallow.

I wish the people who said those things had been right but, I did try to warn you. :(

And I can hear him even today, 'Oh, but you're not right because we still have our rights and unless you're doing something wrong you hven't lost any rights!'

Yeah. Sell me that bridge in Manhattan, jerk.
