Unlike most of the country, it was a fairly warm day in the state where I’m from on September 11, 2001. I was fourteen years old and about a month into my freshman year of high school. My grandfather’s 60th birthday was approaching that October and we were planning to fly the whole family out to San Antonio, but my grandma is terrified of flying. I, being the aviation and space nerd that I am, had been trying to convince my grandma for weeks that flying is perfectly safe, even more so than driving, I had graphs and everything! I hated the sound and the incredibly rude awakening of traditional alarm clocks, so I had recently set my TV in my bedroom to wake me up at a certain time, and had it set to the Today Show because it was usually pretty upbeat.
The Liberal Mob is a politically oriented blog with an obvious liberal slant and a vaguely irreverent attitude. We would like to promote common sense progressive approaches to the problems facing America and the world today. We reserve the right to blog about additional topics, especially on slow news days.

Master Opinion Blaster
I realize that I started yesterday's space post with a quote, so today I'm gonna one up me and start with two. From the same person!
Quote 1: "Our job is only to hold up the mirror - to tell and show the public what has happened."
Quote 2: "Objective journalism and an opinion column are about as similar as the Bible and Playboy magazine."
-Walter Cronkite
