The KNS ran an article on how local bloggers dealt with the two year anniversary of 9/11.

I was quoted at great length:

“SayUncle,” another anonymous local blogger, said on his page at www.saysuncle.com that he struggled to come up with an appropriate memorial and didn’t like any of his ideas.

So he posted the famous picture of the firefighters raising the American flag in the World Trade Center rubble. Below the picture he told readers, “So here’s what you won’t hear the other sites’ memorials say:

“The firefighters hired a lawyer (who appeared on the O’Reilly Factor) to claim intellectual property rights to this image. Also, families of victims are holding out for a bigger chunk of money in a potential lawsuit than they would get from the government’s settlement.”

SayUncle chides the airline industry for offering more expensive and worse service after taking a “taxpayer-funded bailout,” and says Sept. 11 “has been used as an excuse to trample civil liberties.”

He concludes his post, “And the office jerk still takes the last of the coffee without making more. It seems like we’re back to normal again. Don’t forget 9/11 but more importantly don’t forget America.”

The article mentions Bubba, Bill Hobbs, Dave and Adam posts about 9/11.
