By the way, we're still only at yellow alert...

And it turns out that AshKKKroft's idiotic press conference the other day was itself ILLEGAL....

"Some allies of the Department of Homeland Security within the Bush administration and members of Congress criticized Attorney General John D. Ashcroft yesterday for issuing terrorist threat warnings at a news conference on Wednesday, contending he failed to coordinate the information with the White House and with Homeland Security, which has the job of releasing threat warnings.
Under the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and Bush administration rules, only the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can publicly issue threat warnings, and they must be approved in a complex interagency process involving the White House. Administration officials sympathetic to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said he was not informed Ashcroft was going to characterize the threat in that way -- an assertion that Justice officials deny."

1. NBC this morning-the main concern this weekend is terror

On the Today Show the sitin newsreader lead with that. No the cost of gas is no longer the main concern it is TERROR!!! Boo!

2. And of course, there's so much terror

that they didn't bother to change from yellow to orange...

But that's not because everybody thinks Tom Ridge's chart is a fucking joke, so stop saying that...

4. What was odd was that Boston, NY, Chicago, and LA all said

that they had no information of any threats on the same day as Asskroft held the boogieman press conference.
