Well, now that you've settled on a name . . .

. . . how about you build the goddamned thing!?!?!!?!?

Freedom Tower Will Be Called One World Trade Center

NEW YORK — The Freedom Tower is out. One World Trade Center is in. The agency that owns ground zero confirmed Thursday that the signature skyscraper replacing the towers destroyed on Sept. 11 will be more commonly known as One World Trade Center.

The building under construction at the site was named the Freedom Tower in the first ground zero master plan. Officials at the time said the tallest, most symbolic of five planned towers at the site would demonstrate the country's triumph over terrorism.

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey chairman Anthony Coscia says the agency refers to the building as One World Trade Center. He says it's the building's legal name and "the one that's easiest for people to identify with."
Yes, we know it's been ONLY eight years since murder and mayhem were brought to our shores, and there was the whole design contest, and of course EVERYONE knows what the permitting story is in NYC, and . . . (start channeling Christian Bale, here folks) NO, NO - FUCK THE EXCUSES!

WHERE IS THE FUCKING BUILDING?

WHEN IS THE FUCKING BUILDING GOING TO BE DONE?

WHY IS THERE NO FUCKING BUILDING NOW?

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FUCKING STUPIDITY?

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT IT ISN'T FUCKING DONE ALREADY?

Guess what? Sydney Brillo Duodenum doesn't any want any answers.

THERE IS NO FUCKING EXCUSE!

Hate him as most do, but Donald Trump would have finished it by now. It would be a monstrous Gold 2001 Space Odyssey block, but it would be done.

If anyone should have lost their jobs in these times, it is the asshats and serial fuck ups associated with the reconstruction of the World Trade Center.

BUILD IT. NOW. FAST.

You want to put people to work, President Obama? Send them to New York City and put up that damned skyscraper.

No doubt, when it is finally done, it will be named Obama Plaza.
