Sigh


First thing of the day, from a co-worker:
"Well, Nick, not to be political, but what about the Muslims wanting to build a mosque on Ground Zero?"
He actually thought an actual mosque was being built on the actual exact site of where the towers were. As in, where the burning, smouldering hole was.
What anyone wants to say about a community center doodad being built two blocks away from the site is up to them, of course. Don't care! Supposedly people can worship however they want, or not do it at all. At least that was how that pesky Constitution had it. When I look out my window in Ohio, there is no mosque, or even a feel-good Christian church where mooks play drums or a Shinto shrine or a sweat lodge.
But, ugh - facts, people.
