I can't close my eyes and make it go away. Or perhaps I could. I could shut off the TV. That would make it go away, at least for awhile. This whole terrorism stuff is stressful. But let's ask the question CNN.com is asking:
Quickvote
Which issue facing the U.S. do you think is more important?
Terrorism
Gas prices
Come on, which issue? its 50-50 right now. It is an ironically strange question to ask. I'll get back to it.
The AP is gonna run this article all day:
http://news.yahoo.com/...
which has the show stopping comment:
"The group's failure to match the destruction it inflicted in the Sept. 11 attacks has led to speculation that a global dragnet that has forced bin Laden into hiding and ensnared many of his most trusted deputies may have degraded al-Qaida's abilities.
Analysts said Thursday that is a theory to be believed only at the world's peril."
Man, that sounds alot like J. Lieberman saying we undermine our president at the nation's peril. Lot's of peril going around. Must be Sunday.
No, no wait. Its thursday. Sorry. got confused.
One of the things that struck me about ned lamont's win this week was how much the press hated it. I mean, Anderson Cooper actually looked like he was going to cry. He begged the "senior political analyst" to answer, "is there anyway lieberman could still win???" is there, any, any, way???
Who knows whats going on in the UK. WHO KNOWS. All we know for absolute sure is that the media will take this and run with it like an olympic runner carrying the torch. This will be running past the lips of EVERY single news reporter from now until..who knows.
How long must we sing this song??
How long?
The only issue that is nearly as powerful as terrorism, at least in the eyes of CNN, is the rise of gas prices. After all, this was the first question CNN is asking its millions of online readers as this very UK story broke. Come on, whats more important, liquid explosives or gas prices?? Its pretty amazing if you think about it. What is more important? What if CNN asked, do you think gas prices and global affairs are connected?? WHHHHOOOAAA..way off base. shouldn't have asked that. sorry..
"These people are obsessed," he said. "They will try and try and try again to accomplish their mission."
thats the terrorists, mind you. they will try anything. they are obsessed. we, on the other hand, are perfectly rational and calm. i dont know about you, but i just canceled any plane trips i wasnt gonna take anyway. thats the calm thing to do so im doing it.
"There's sufficient uncertainty as to whether the British have scooped up everybody," Chertoff said. in an CNN article.
So if you think this thing is over just b/c we gots the red alert, you're nuts.
Kudos to the guy who likes chertoff. i def. take him over ridge any day.
How long, how long, must we sing this song?
