"We Must Never Forget Whatever Happened Here Today"

With nothing to do with science, I feel compelled nonetheless to post this link to a fine contribution over at McSweeney's today. A great piece, on politics and whatnot. Sort of. Or, rather, entirely. The intro:

Ladies and gentlemen. Friends, relatives, dear ones, and patriots. Especially patriots. And especially that fidgety little jerk right there in front. Yeah, you, Pigtails. Eyes up here ... All right, then. Like I was saying ... We must never forget whatever happened here today.

If whatever we're talking about was some sort of horrible genocide, then, by God, it is our duty as Americans--nay, as human beings--not to forget it. And by "it," I mean this. I mean whatever we're talking about.
