My my, here come the fuzz
Jim Kouri, who we’re told is the fifth vice-president of the National Association of Chiefs of Police, has one for the Amazing Wingnut Facts file:
As the number of Americans who remember the horror of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington almost eight years ago dwindles[.]
Was Meghan McCain not yet born in 2001?

Does it make you want to nuke Tehran? No? Then you probably don’t know about it well enough.
Also, how do you not remember Y2K? Did you never watch Office Space?

well some folks were in their late 80′s and early 90′s in 2001 so some of them are bound to have shuflled off this mortal coil by now. So he isn’t exactly wrong but still meaningless.

Coincidentally, or not, I DO want to nuke Tehran. Like, duh.

That angry bitterness is supposed to fade, Jimmy. It’s called the grieving process.

Fifth as in there were four before him and he’s the only current VP or as in he’s the Number Five man in the VP wing?

WTF?! Has the National Association of Chiefs of Police undertaken an assassination campaign against all those alive and above the age of 2 in 1991?

Or, put another way, if terrorists don’t succeed in terrorizing you, they win.

911 was a terrible moment in our history that allowed the Executive Branch to do anything it wanted.
But this doesn’t apply to the Democrat people.

Is he saying that it’s the same number of Americans who remember the 9/11 attacks but they’re shrinking, like, become shorter or something? Because we’re also supposedly putting on weight, so we must be dwindling in funny ways. Maybe our heads, or just our necks or something.

Not to be a hairsplitting nitpicker (or, for that matter, a nitpicking hairsplitter; there is a difference, you know, oh yes there is), but he’s observing that the number of people who remember the horror of the attacks is dwindling. Which should be a good thing, as it means that the terrorists have not won, but then I haven’t written for The Narc Officer, so what do I know.
As long as I’m being anal, make sure that you remember that it’s Jim Kouri, CPP. You down with FPP?

I think Kouri is simply suggesting that Americans are “dwindling,” i.e., getting smaller, in the last eight years. People often do shrink a bit as they get older, or, at least, become more stooped.
(In Kouri’s case, however, that last part should be pronounced stoooo–ped).

On behalf of the self disrespecting hillbillies of America, I must protest that characterization. The bimbot is a snowbilly, not a hillbilly. Makes a difference, yah know. Also.

Well since the title track involves voodoo, hoodoo and sew de mouf shut with rusty chicken wire, I’d say the relation to Renew Amurka is obvious.

Fuck Mr Kouri- there are still people dying prematurely from the events of 9-11 (I was at the wake of a friend this January). A lot of it has to do with the duplicitousness of the Bush maladministration regarding the toxic conditions in DC and NY.
Did I remember to write “Fuck Mr Kouri”?

Ok but what if I’m a hairpicking nitsplitter? Does that mean I have lice?
Oh but wait why should we remember 9/11 anyway? Unless I’m mistaken, it happened before the dawn of history, which is Jan 20, 2009, which means that nothing before that date means shit, according to the winger bitches who have blown off the bush years like a cub scout troop at a college republican frat party.

“As the number of Americans who remember the horror of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington almost eight years ago dwindles[.]“
I think what he means is, as the number of Americans with direct memory of that day eight years ago dwindles, as the people who were actually alive way back in 2001 — the 9/11 Generation — die off. Only a few now remain.

The Pentagon is not now, nor has it ever been in DC. Unless he’s talking about the Anthrax letters. Or the Beltway Snipers. But then he left out Maryland. And there were a few anthrax fatalities in other states (Florida was the first, Connecticut [?] the last.)
Wait …You mean he really is just blowing it out his ass?
Oh. OK.

I haven’t forgot! I remember like it was yesterday when them damn Messicans snuck across the border an’ blew up the World Trade Center!
I wept bitter tears for my dead fellow Americans, until I remembered they were a buncha East Coast faggots. Then I chuckled.
