Faux News now using astrologers to predict terrorism
What if you suddenly didn't react the way someone thought you would?

Your kid plows into the garage with the new car and you don't scream. But you do make your point. Or someone bad-mouths you and, instead of railing back, you don't say a word?

What if there were another terror attack and, rather than retrench, we moved on? Quickly.

I ask this because of an astrologer guest of mine this week, who predicts sometime next year the stars are telling him we'll see another terror attack and it could be big.

3. what's with the fucking obsession with "shopping" anyway?
the astrologer bullshit is just bizarre. but not as bizarre as equating , of all things, *shopping* with patriotic resilience. shopping?

that showed 'em just what stern stuff we're made of. our president told us to hit the malls, and so we did. we hit the malls for god and country. they took down our towers. they showed us just how vulnerable we all are. they wounded the soul of our country. but did it last? thank god almighty, no. it didn't last.

we went shopping.

4. LOL - Great post
Hilarious stuff-

I love how every single time this question is asked:
"What can normal citizens do to fight the "War on Terror?"

Some idiot answers:
"Just go about their daily lives... by, I don't know... taking their family out to the mall to do some shopping."


Remember -If you don't go out and buy a shitload of cars the terrorists win... because nothing pisses off Bin Laden more, than when Americans spend away their savings on useless merchandise.

5. i do not think we so much look out for each other --rather we are wary
of each other--suspicios of others.


.....Naturally, he assumes and his stars say, we'll all recoil in shock and we'll all be awed. And, just like 2001, we'll stop buying, stop shopping, stop everything.

Terrorists counted on that reaction then. Just like they're no doubt counting on that reaction again.

But they were wrong then and they'll be wrong again. Don't forget, it wasn't that long after Sept. 11 (search), that we Americans picked ourselves up and started looking up and out for each other......

6. This is the dumbest fucking country on the planet.
And the most malicious, with the possible exception of Uganda.
