The Bronx Is Up And The Professor Is Down

[Professor Donald Douglas, that is.]

Donald was in New York this past weekend for the 09-11 commemorations and I have been remiss in posting about the many superb photos he published from Saturday.

A highlight from his comments on what he experienced:

I came to New York to be here on this day, to be here — in person and in solidarity — for the families of the fallen. It’s my first pilgrimage to New York for a 9/11 anniversary. I visited in August 2007, but it’s been three years, and Ground Zero has changed tremendously. There’s a feeling of attention, affirmation, and purpose that I hadn’t felt in my previous visit. The construction largely explains it, but also the weekend atmosphere, with bustling crowds of visitors moving back and forth across the city streets, an hour or so after the official memorial ceremonies. It felt like a special day. And of course, New York has been in the news constantly, and the memory of those who died that day has been disrespected by the administration in Washington and by the left’s Media-Industrial-Islamist-Complex. (By his own words, Imam Rauf is no moderate, but Americans can’t get a break from the lamestream press.)

Please do take the time to click here and read the whole posting.  There are some great pictures and narration.

Apologies, Donald.

Here’s one of his pictures…
