13. I noticed bird flu making a few more peeps again, too
ok, it still MAY be a cause for legitimate concern but since Rummy made millions off sales of Tamiflu I suspect it is a manufactured fear.

6. Chimpy ratings go down, threats come out
CNN said that there were uncorroborated reports...then why bother. They say that they will email attack financial insitutions, from where caves in Afghanistan?...oh please. How thin is this threat?

Beware: do not open any emails that promise to "increase your vigor" it's all an Al Qaeda trick.

11. What are they gonna do....?
... to hurt this country? Run up the deficit to record level? Send the value of the dollar plunging? Kill the housing sector? Kill the auto sector? Export our jobs? Force us to borrow from the Chinese? I ain't skeered.

Dumbya beat them to it.

Shit... al Qaeda already won. The got us to borrow and spend our way into the poorhouse and take away our own civil liberties.

12. yawn
I guess there's still the Limbeciles who will buy this crap, and since the GOP media machine, including the Couric Broadcast system, will spread it around for free, it costs nothing to trot it out.
