A Moment Of Mourning

Written by Grouchy Joe

I still can't believe that the United States of America was attacked.

At first I didn't want to write about the horrible tragedies that happened. I didn't want to seem disrespectful to any of the victims--or their loved ones. But it's all I can think about.

Dammit, I'm going to say my piece.

I've had some time to cool off, but I'm still in shock. My heart pours out to the thousands of people who were hurt, the many who perished, and all those who lost their loved ones. It's absolutely dreadful.

As much as I've tried to reflect on the tragedy, I can't just sit back and mourn without the chicken-hearted villains having been punished. I want retribution.

I say that we figure out who was responsible and pay them a little visit of our own. I want our fighting boys to load up and sissy-slap them dirty terrorist cowards into eternity! We've got to let them know that America won't stand for these lily-livered attacks!

I think that someone should call Rand McNally and let them know that the next year's world maps are going to have one less country on them when we get through with them! You won't be able to look up Terrorland anymore. If you have a world atlas around the house, hang onto it. It's going to be a collector's item!

I think we should bring along some steamrollers and pave the country over when we're done our business. We could just leave it as a giant playground so no one can do any more harm.

That's what I think.

A heavy-hearted, Grouchy Joe.
