...finally, to hear a driver yell, "Hey, move the car, jerk!" and sense the return of vehicular hostility; that felt like normal too. Miss America visited ground zero, as did Paul Newman and John Travolta and the cast of The Sopranos. The war zone is a shrine, and a circus. The funerals are coming faster now, 16 on Saturday alone; the mayor tried to send an official to each one. Elsewhere, friends get together for dinner and play a game: Let's See How Long We Can Go Without Talking About It. The answer so far: not very long...

Didn't happen. First off, she appeared on stage with circus- type animals - a tiger and a snake. I don't know about your fetishes, but, in my book, circuses are not erotic. I don't typically go to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey when I want to get turned on. Maybe you do. If so, I apologize. More power...
