NEW YORK (CNN) - Groundbreaking for the tallest building in the world, to rise from the ashes of the World Trade Center site, shame small-penised nations worldwide.
A new skyscraper at the site of New York’s World Trade Center is slated to begin construction on July 4th, 2004. In a symbolic gesture sure to be lost on many Americans*, the steel and glass spire has been designed to reach a height of exactly 1,776 feet. While dining at the corporate-sponsored restaurant, visitors may be interested to note that the building’s unofficial title, The Freedom Tower, is actually somewhat of a misnomer, as the building will be financed largely by the creation of government debt and foreign investment, populated by wage-slave I-Bankers struggling vainly to pay off the mortgages on their over-valued, New Jersey sub-division, “Starter Homes,” and serviced by uninsured, illegal immigrants.
