Living in this post-yesterday world

"This year President Bush will be laying wreaths at the Ground Zero site in memory of 9/11, one wreath for each of the towers that was hit." -Some mainstream evening news

You mean two?

What the hell is wrong with reporters these days? Say two.

Two two two two two TWO!

You know who can count to two? A two year old.

I recognize that some people like to commemorate the anniversaries of events to keep the memories alive/to cope/to point out that Galileo was correct about the Earth revolving around the sun and as such a trip around the sun is a big deal, but that doesn't mean they need to be patronized. People can deal with hearing that the number of towers that were hit was two. I don't think anyone forgot.
