You remind me of a women I knew.

If I was not around, she adored me.

I fly away to keep semblance's of sanity.

Don't get me wrong. I love Hillbilly McEagles.

I just hope I never get those childhood measles.

[to Soul Involutus]: Remember the first Orange Alert? Remember the second? and the third? Does anyone even know (or care) what colour the alert is now?....

I blogged on that very thought a while back:

(or click sig)

If you were a Sage Grouse who lived in thickets of sagebrush for shelter and ate humbugs, fleas, and bush-lice...You know? If you were all huddled up to escape the cold weather, wind and snow...I'd still love you?

You'd be wiped out and gone?

`

I love the spotted owl too.

Bush-Cheney? Un-ecological.

If they continue? Extinct.

Be cautious. We need ya' all.

I like ol' Ben. No prude, he. Heck, the man was years ahead of the times and he actually backed the Wild Turkey as the symbol of the nation, not the Eagle, bald or no. And as far as corn likker goes, Wild Turkey is palatable. Baldie McEagle?? Heaven knows, but you really want to see how far the nation has sunk, or slunk, check out "Gathering Of Eagles" and their "Operation Celebrate American Military" -- woo-hah!! Camo-bubbas unite!!

I will be sure to bring up this posting and rub it in your face, Glenn, as well as all the others that pooh-pooh the very real terrorist threat we face.

I wonder what Patrick "Give me liberty or give me death" Henry would have to say about people who constantly peddle fear?

You see, the entire point of being a terrorist is to incite terror (fear) in a population. Those who constantly peddle fear of terrorists are helping the terrorists achieve their purpose.

With the post I quote above you are trying to create fear in the minds of the other posters for a political purpose.

That makes you a terrorist.

If you were a wild grouse,

grumbling at the bird spouse,

after a good back-feathered rub,

you'd be an okay good bird jiggly.

That's a compliment. You make me giggle.

I hope you never have the neocon doldrums.

If ever jilted, Salon has a date-service.

No go delirious on us...okay? Just snarl?

And wake-up again tomorrow and begin anew.

And when the next terrorist attack happens ...

... I will then ask you to write a well-reasoned excuse to all that attack's victims. --Sol Invictus

What if you die by car accident, or by the bird flu, or by a criminal, or an airline crash, or allergic reaction, or an incurable disease, or gun accident, or by fire, or natural disaster, or any one of a host of terminal illnesses, or infected cut, or a domestic accident (you should find how many people die from this, you would not believe it) or if the draft is re-instated and you go die in Iraq?

Sane people understand that life is temporary and if you start to think of all the ways you can die in any given moment, dying from a terrorist attack is pretty low on the list.

But here’s another fear for you. If the terrorist attack you so fear, kills you first, you won’t be able to ask someone to write a well reasoned excuse to you.

Wouldn't these people have the ability to find the lost emails from the Bush administration?

Just a question.

I blogged on that very thought a while back:

All very good and well, Arne, but there have been no updates in a damn coon's age. If one wishes to warn one's readers, friends and family -- what is the terror color now, huh, Mr. hot shot blogger?

As near as I can tell, we ain't had a color alert since about the '04 election. What, prithee, are you doing about that?

Democrats could have looked good by responding in a low key professional manner to 9/11.

That would have made the Republicans look like hysterical fools, and worse, like evil manipulators.

Now that Democrats have allowed Bush to exaggerate and prioritise the terrorist threat, Dems are suffering the consequences.

The "Democrats are weak on terror" meme is easily convertible to "Republicans are letting terrorists set the agenda and remove our liberties".

Democrats fear that if a nuke goes off, they will be blamed. But they can preempt that by establishing a public discourse on exactly that issue and making the people choose liberty over fear:

"Even if a nuke goes off, it's not worth sacrificing our long-term liberty and changing America. If we say that 9/11 changed everything, we are giving too much power to a few crazy terrorists."

Yellow cheese.

Orange.

A Kimmy1 question?

If the nudist bride and groom asked the puzzled presidential Baptist Pastor Huckleberry to marry them, who would the Pastor be looking at as he watched the matching bride and groom kissing in the birthday suit as they were pronounced man and wife?

Mona, it looks like the DHS has backed away from its former advocacy of the Grover-Cookie Monster-Bert-Ernie-Elmo scale... in no small part, I'm sure, due to ridicule. You can get a current update by following this helpful link I found on Arne's blog entry:

http://www.dhs.gov/xinfoshare/programs/Copy_of_press_release_0046.shtm

Of course, no one has ever even vaguely elucidated the difference between an Ernie Alert and a Bert Alert. I mean, aren't we supposed to "be vigilant, take notice of [our] surroundings, and report suspicious items or activities to local authorities immediately" pretty much 24-7 nowadays?

will someone please nominate this young man for attorney general? Glenn Greenwald for president! Glenn you are a gem of clarity and synthetic analysis and understanding in a dastardly time. Please take care of yourself.

One mystery: Why are there so few media correspondents who PACK THE WAD to challenge this miserable, disgraceful administration on this insulting ruses? Isn't there one Gen-X or "Millennial" out there willing to become his generation's Edward R. Murrow? Forget about the Boomers - we're the PROBLEM, now. But what about you kids? And your BALLS?

They do not pick up high-profile mainstream media gigs because they are not fascist-friendly. So, that lets out network TV....
