4. Well then let's load up the B-52s and git 'em!

I'm sure some drone is saying that tonight. Frankly, I've been traveling on business most of the last six weeks and missed DU and the news and yet...and yet...somehow I picked up this piece of info at least two weeks ago. Probably from a newspaper and, my memory is that I heard it long before the beginning of July.

Hey, its like that guy arrested for "terrorism" who was picked up and then it was announced months later by Ashcroft during some moment when they needed to rachet up the fear. Hail mary indeed....

Or at least.....it has never failed up to this point......somehow, I don't think these tired spins are going to work this week........

Ya think the maladministration is getting much sleep these days?
