First, the attempt to change the subject this morning to terra, terra,
...and now they do a "lookee, here's mah proof".

Blantantly obvious and I think it could backfire.

I said in the other thread, I think they're still pissed about the reception we gave them last summer.

Anyway, glad I wore flats to work today!

25. lots of luck getting home safely.
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 04:22 PM by npincus
this summer, my bus (from Hoboken, NJ) dumped me off on 11th Ave and 36th street due to a bomb scare at the Port Authority... the blisters I got on my feet from walking to work were the size of lemons.

I'm working from home now... I sympathize with anyone who has to get on a bus or train- I just called my husband and told him to stay off the subway.

I don't think I could hate this gov't any more or I'd combust. best of luck with your commute today (and tomorrow).

18. Is "Perceived" the same as "Imagined"?
Or is it meant to be "Conceived" or "concocted"?

21. What is CNN's phone number?
Don't they have a number where a real person answers the phone? This coverage is absolutely ridiculous.

27. I just had to come back to Recommend this.
I'd put it right smack dab on the front page.

So very, very weary of these people in BushCo damaging us with their bullcrap.

32. Simple. Drink the Kool-Aid.
I'm always very skeptical about allegations of 'manufactured events' since this regime is soooo rife with abominations, scandals, corruption, and heavy-handedness, it'd almost be impossible for a hurricane or terrorist scam to NOT be coincidental with SOMETHING. At the same time, I'd NEVER assume there's anything so low and dastardly that they wouldn't stoop to it.

Today, however, is just way too 'handy' ... particularly with Bloomberg (R), Peter King (R), and Pitaki (R) climbing on the tube and Smirk's strangely scheduled morning speech in full Chicken Little Fuehrer regalia. Nothing is too corrupt for these criminal bastards.

30. This administration is PATHETIC.
They think we won't notice the indictments? Using terror alerts for political gain; typical.

31. I read on another thread that Homeland Security
KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THIS!!! Apparently, J. Meserve called HC and they didn't know what the hell she was talking about. Per CNN.

Peace.
