I find it amusing that “patriotic” is the new “gourmet”.

surely there is a middle ground between prickiness and prickliness? Set your feet to accomplish your purpose.

@10 You don’t need consideration, the innocent people who have died do. Why should you be commended for not buying into propaganda? The number of people who don’t consider the tragic deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians post 9-11 is much, much higher than those that do. Therefore, #9′s post is completely valid and shouldn’t be criticized for stepping on your oh-so touchy toes.

Basically, you are telling not to talk about the giant elephant in the room. Way to go, gov. yes man.

That’s actually a reproduction of the C-4 plastic explosives and detonator paste used by the CIA to buckle the support beams of the towers.

I would have used a white chocolate ganache, but to each his own I guess.

w.t.f.

There is a special place in hell for these people. Same goes for the exploitative jerks who make the “commemorative coins and plates”…

These commemorate 9/11, how..? By resembling bloody chunks of flesh from the bodies of the dead?

“donut” being a euphemism?

it says best used by 07/03/09 – i would say has more to do with 4th of july than 9/11

#13, #9 is not asking for personal consideration.

Not that it makes it more appetizing for actual eating, but those donut holes appear to have been made for the 4th of July, not “Patriot Day” as the use by date on the package is 7/3/09.

Or, I suppose, it’s a supermarket that is really forward thinking and leaves items on their shelf for a really long time.

Meanwhile, the world is still waiting for some cakes commemorating the hundreds thousands Iraqi and Afghan deaths.
Condolences to the Americans who suffered those tragic deaths, nonetheless I find disgusting this complete lack of consideration for all those people (roughly 100 times the American deaths on 9/11, or more) who were attacked and killed using 9/11 as a pretext.
