NEW YORK — When the 9/11 Memorial Museum opens in mid-May, it will have shards of the fallen World Trade Center towers. It will have walls covered with portraits of the nearly 3,000 victims, and the watch worn by Todd Beamer when he declared, "Let's roll," and helped launch an attack on the Flight 93 hijackers.

The obvious way to fund this would be to tax the hell out of every Muslim who tries to come in to our country.

Maybe you missed this...

TSA-type entrance screening, ejection for 'offensive' or 'political statement' clothing (e.g., 't-shirts') and 'hate-speech' (1st Amendment stops at the door), no criticizing/mocking his highness, Chairman Bloomburger and coin-op toilets with paid-advertising on the stall doors...

That would round out the $24 admission fee quite nicely.

I suspect we will be "treated to headlines such as.."..Patriot refused entry to 911 Memorial ....for wearing NEVER FORGET Sweatshirt"...before very long.

What do they know about building and maintaining anything? They have “people” to do that for them.

[CatherineofAragon]

It’s unreal.

There was a reason I omitted the sarc tag (sadly).

Would they rather tax dollars support the museum? And with it bring in the government to decide what’s appropriate and what’s not?

[MeshugeMikey]

Im surpried that Smiley VIrus isnt on that list...

[MeshugeMikey]

Perhaps that gives him access to televise his schtick from inside the memorial....

[CatherineofAragon]

I wouldn’t put it past him. He is a serious newsperson, you know.... /s

“...Maybe you missed this...”

I absolutely did, thank you, friend. Did not see it.

But hey... after hearing that, I’ll go JUST FOR THE SHEER HONOR of being ejected for publicly calling Bloomberg an effete communist douchebag.

Hell, that would just make my day complete!
