America's TV special: the tribute to the 911 heros, njc

Wow, if you missed this program, you missed a *LOT*.  I won't even begin to
detail my thoughts except for the closing song:



So here the evening ends.  Here is Willie Nelson, personifying our thread
bare imperfection.  Our fragile claim on blessings.  Our off-kilter and
awkward, yet unwavering resolve.  Our quiet dignity.

Here we are, a mongrel nation.  A mixed bag, rattling tonight with ashes and
gems.
