Saw this on Olbermann last nite too (he led with it and he was pissed about it - surprise surprise), but it just popped up on Addicting Info:
Lemme be clear - I don't have any problem with how anybody remembers or commemorates or grieves or whatever. My main thing is that everybody gets to do what they wanna do - which includes doing nothing at all, btw.
Keith Olbermann gets to do it his way and you get to do it your way and I get to do it my way; and we all get to feel however we feel; and we all get to express it however we want as long it doesn't pose a threat to anybody's reasonable expectation of physical safety.
We're a little weird here in USAmerica Incorporated. I look for exactly this kind of crass commercialism because I think it signals our willingness to move past the Compulsory Solemnity Phase in our process of "getting on with it".
