2. YOU were watching! You tell us!
At least, a bit more detail? Since it already happened, tuning in now doesn't do much good. What's going on?

That old fart from AIE is on blathering about something with Leslie, but nothing about an evac.

On edit...spoke to soon...literally, as I hit the post button Leslie broke in with the update. "We don't know what is happening."

3. Yes! Both the Senate and the House has emptied.
I heard someone shouting something in the background. I don't know what the deal is! There's been nothing on MSNBC or CNN, yet.

7. It's on MSNBC right now. An evacuation for some sort of alert.
Fighter jets scrambled. People told they have less than 1 minute to get out of the buildings.

14. Santorium and Hatch probably
elbowed their way to the front, knocking over KBHutchinson and stepping over BBoxer.

Wouldn't put it past them.

9. bush's poll numbers are down ... time for a boost
isn't it nice to see how quickly we can scramble air force jets when we want to ... too bad this didn't happen on 9/11 ...

looks like it's time to remind Americans that we're still fighting the war on terror ... this should help "the President's" poll numbers quite a bit ...

12. Yes, it's just amazing how fast the F-16's scrambled.

I'm sure Iran will be fingered in this somehow. :(

Blair memo? What Blair memo. Don't you know we're in a War on Terra?!

16. Could it be the extra spicey bean chili everybody had for lunch?
As Nicholson said in Mars Attacks: "I want the people to know that they still have 2 out of 3 branches of the government working for them, and that ain't bad."

17. Nothing to see here, folks. Move on. Congress will be be back
as soon as everybody changes their shorts.

This is embarrassing. I wonder what the rest of the world thinks about this?

20. The entire 107th Congress "passed" PATRIOT ACT in an atmosphere
of fear shortly after the anthrax attacks.

Btw, why hasn't an arrest been made in the anthrax case?

22. They must have run out of OBL tapes
And their Al-queda #3 'capture' has been proven humiliating wrong.

23. I will ask this again...
How is it that the entire city ran away and yet I cannot find a moving image of the plane... just the landed/on ground footage and the fighters and black hawk... is there not a single camera catching this thing flying 3 miles from shit house?

24. The plane footage of the Cessna today
is safely secure alongside the footage of the 'plane' that hit the Pentagon on 9/11.

We, the American people, will never see footage of either plane due to 'security reasons.'

Isn't great living in a society run by a Totalitarian Government?

25. Okay, who is up to helping me find out
Where footage is available? I don't have enough time to spend on this all alone today. Can we start calling CNN, MSNBC, and any other channel because surely someone has footage... if they have footage of fighter pilots, then they should/do/must have footage of the plane. Who can help out?
