Man's Best Scapegoat

Things have got truly surreal. Although the presidential candidates have been firing insults at each other on an hourly basis, they've agreed to take a day off to memorialize 9/11. No obfuscation, no dissembling, no distortions or misdirections for a full twenty-four hours. One whole day without sniping at each other like schoolyard miscreants! Wow, they've agreed to not be negative for a brief spell while they pretend to be "positive" and mouth meaningless platitudes like, "America will never be unsafe again." If they really wanted to honor the dead they'd agree not to lie about their own records and what they'll do if elected, and not just for a day but for the rest of the campaign.
