Oh. Now I Get It…

As you may have noted, the “Crisis Against America” du jour is the looming construction of the 9/11-Ground Zero-Obama Mosque in New York City that: 1. is not a Mosque, 2. is not located at Ground Zero, and 3. will be located next a strip club, restaurants, businesses, and all the other trappings of everyday life for people of all faiths and backgrounds that, up until now, have not done anything to trample on the memories of those that died.

While most of the uproar seems to be rooted in good, old white redneck American xenophobia, there may actually be a good reason to protest the construction. RPT has recently uncovered the construction plans for “the Site” and, as you can see for yourself, there is reason for anger indeed:

Seriously. Puma? Everyone knows that is so 1980s. Haven’t any of the planners heard of Sketchers?

Unless this is some sort of veiled “Black Panthers” reference. Damn Obama.
