"And All That Remains Are The Faces And The Names Of The Wives And The Sons And The Daughters"

By Miss Kubelik

A bipartisan crowd was on hand at today's dedication of the National September 11 Memorial Museum — but not because anybody from the Bush White House was there.

Joining Mayor de Blasio, President and Mrs. Obama, former US Senator from New York Hillary Clinton (and her husband) were Republicans Chris Christie, Rudy Giuliani and George Pataki. And you could possibly stretch and count Michael Bloomberg, as a former member of the GOP, in that latter group, too. But no other Republican of note showed up.

We cats wondered why. But then it dawned on us that after ignoring the Presidential Daily Brief of August 6, 2001, the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived might find it too difficult to look into the eyes of the people his negligence killed.
