If you don't read this Blog, the terrorists win.


Not really. It's about 2:00 in the morning as I type this and I can't help but feel a bit over-saturated by the 9-11 media onslaught that's taken place over the course of the past 36 hours. Much of it is very moving and I really wasn't being insincere about yesterday's entry... but, I've topped out with this whole Anniversary of the Tragedy and I truly hope we can do our best to resume our lives, as a nation.

Crap, how shallow am I?

At any rate, I do get bothered by some of the shameless advertising, cashing in on the tragedy. "Keep America Rolling! Don't let Bin Laden and his evil henchmen keep you from heading on down to pick up a new Ford F150!" It's calmed down a great deal, but it still pisses me off. It reminds me of the old WW2 propaganda posters...
- Conserve energy or the Axis wins!
- Every time you don't use a condom, you're putting out for Hitler!
- Mussolini says: "Thanks for NOT buying war bonds!"
- Only Nazis refuse to carpool!
- Prevent another attack on Pearl Harbor... by lighting up a smooth Camel cigarette, soldier! Ten-hut!
- Not registering for the draft is like letting all of Japan rape your wife! Protect her honor... and yours!


Don't mind me. Doubtless I'll wake up tomorrow morning and feel terrible about my cynicism.

In the meantime, I'd like to say a very special Thank You to Gary Underwood of Akron, Ohio. Gary faithfully fulfilled his duty to Keep America Rolling by sending in a few title suggestions for the JeremyBear.com scripts page. You're one in a million, Gar. So, title by Gary, script by me, here it is: Remember the Dew.

And it's just that simple. Like Gary, you too can acheive literary immortality. Send your title suggestion for a Jeremy Bear script to: art@jeremybear.com.

Thanks, and goodnight.
