Shot In The Dark: Tragedy Redeemed?

Tragedy Redeemed?

Flash at Centrisity notes the real tragedy of April 15:

While the Right rallies, and shares their disdain for contributing to the betterment of society, let's not got lost on the true tragedy that should be remembered [last Friday]. At 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, the British ocean liner Titanic sinks into the North Atlantic Ocean about 400 miles south of Newfoundland, Canada. The massive ship, which carried 2,200 passengers and crew, had struck an iceberg two and half hours before.Put that in your perspective pipe and smoke it!

Good point. Because of a tragedy 93 years ago, we should be happy to shovel more of our income into the insatiable maw of the nannystate.

Heck, tomorrow is the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the Oklahoma City bombing. We should just sign our next paycheck over entirely.

Of course, the Washington Democrats read the above, and salvage triumph from tragedy; they just found 1,500 more King County voters.

Actually the sinking of the Titanic and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln were both mentioned by David Strom in his radio advertisement for the rally as other reasons why April 15 is not a good day.

Mitch,

Watch your words, use precission...

Democrats don't necessarily 'find' votes. It is probably more proper to state that they 'unearth' them...

Simulated diamonds have long been held in disfavor, because of the assumption that simulation necessarily implies inferiority escapefitness com. So it might come as something of a surprise that many professional gemmologists are now selling simulated diamonds alongside the real thing. Many of mans finest creations have been born in the lab, and moissanite diamonds are no exception. duit-online com http://www.duit-online.com/link_xchange.html
