[Philosoraptor]

How about, sickeningly patriotic, or ghoulishly exploitative, or bizarrely ironic, or outlandishly arrogant, or repulsively inappropriate, or amazingly tasteless, or morbidly hypocritical, disgustingly pompous, baronially insulting, or astoundingly surrealistic?

3. NY State Democratic officials were not invited to the 9/11 memorial

That's what it looked like from the pictures.

[Philosoraptor]

13. I couldn't watch it either
