Way to go, Christine Klein

Today is September 11. 6 years after the attacks that killed 3000 people. Since then 3,000 (plus) army, navy, marines, air force and national guard troops have died. Today is a very dark, gloomy day in the eyes of all Americans. You don't mess with today no matter who you are or what you stand for, right?

Will someone please tell that to Christine Klein of the Route 47, Huntley, Century 21 New Heritage Realty Office?

I opened my garage door today to welcome the sunshine and let the kids play outside for a few minutes before starting our morning routine of running jack to school and letting Sofia to listen to three very specific songs on the 'Chicken Little" soundtrack (one of which is a karaoke version of the Spice Girls' 'Wannabe' sung by two of the movie's characters. Sofia has a very specific dance to this one. And she's three. is this bad parenting? Perhaps.).

When I stepped outside I noticed that my entire street- actually, the entire SUBDIVISION had been decorated with American flags placed in the ground at the end of each driveway. I immediately thought that this was the overnight work of members of my homeowner assocation board. I thought it was a nice tribute, even though we weren't notified of it, but whatever. Who is going to say 'no'?

And then I noticed that there was a piece of paper at the bottom of each flag placed in each of the 100+ homes. I walked over to the flag, bent down and pulled the paper off of it. It read...

Wow. I find this SO FUCKING DISGUSTING.

Way to go, Christine. So what if thousands of people have died. You use that anniversary to get business. Hope your new Lexus or Delta Burke pants suit that you'll buy with the potential commision earned is worth the absolute jackass joke you've made out of yourself.

If I were willing to fight my readers on this, I would write "no wonder the rest of the world hates us and wants to kill us. It's because of money grubbing assholes like Christine Klein who give America a bad name".

But I don't want to fight with anyone but her.

Feel free to call her if you like!
