Reminds me of a "man on the street" feature in The Onion only a few weeks
after 9/11: some blowhard pontificating "If I don't get my steak and fries
in the next 5 minutes, the terrorists will have won." Draw it forward two
years and "Doonesbury" has a White House spokesman using 9/11 as the
pretext for anything and everything the government does. "When do you stop
answering every question with '9/11'" asks one reporter. "11/2," is the
answer, the date of the 2004 Presidential election.
