U.S.: Airline terror plot 'close to execution'� - Aug 10, 2006:
"Passengers 'were not yet sitting on an airplane,' but were very close to traveling, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official told The Associated Press."John from Americablog has already summed up my feelings on this "Red Alert". (damn east coast bloggers. Takin' all the good observations before us west coasters are even awake):
And isn't it queer that the emergency is declared within a day of Republican party leader Ken Mehlman launching an all-out offensive against Democrats following Joe Lieberman's loss in Connecticut, an offensive in which Mehlman, the White House and Republican operatives are claiming that Democrats no longer care about national security or the war on terror."and...
"Bottom line: Joe Lieberbush lost. The message is spreading across the land that incumbents who embrace the president are in serious trouble. And the Republicans needed to divert attention, to stop this meme in its tracks, and lo' and behold we have our first terror alert that I can recall since the last election, and it's our first ever Red Alert! What a coincidence!"In other boobs... uh, I mean news:
Mary Carey For Governor (T & A - careful at work)
Finally, a candidate for California Governor that I can get behind... literally... doggie style. The best part is her campaign slogan, "Finally a politician you want to get screwed by":
.....
Blue Gal gets me all hot and bothered when she spanks the fundies. Between her and Mary Carey I've got this sudden urge to go on a good, ol' panty raid.
Blue Gal: Don't Sugarcoat It Award for August 9:
"Let's not sugarcoat it: these Christian Zionists are the wackiest and most dangerous people on the planet. Their version of Christianity has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus, and I fart in their general direction......
September 11 -- what year? 30 percent of Americans don't know
But those polled who were 55+ could tell you every last boring detail of the ice cream social they went to back in 1954 where they met a preacher's daughter who let them pet her calf in the back of their coupe.
"WASHINGTON (AFP) - Some 30 percent of Americans cannot say in what year the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington took place, according to a poll published in the Washington Post newspaper.""Now where were we? Oh yeah -- the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones..."
This memory black hole is essentially the problem of the older crowd: 48 percent of those who did not know were between the ages of 55 and 64, and 47 percent were older than 65, according to the poll.

JPW you bad boy. I might hafta spank, but then you might like that, too.
Thanks for the linky love. That's the first time I've ever been linked with Mary Carey, to my knowledge.
Gonna use that don't know what year 9/11 was somewhere on Blue Gal. Good one, hon.
Blue Gal, you just spank away. I'll enjoy it whomever is the recipient.
My good friend actually voted for Mary Carey in the special election that Arnie won. I was living in Arizona at the time, but my support would have gone to Gary Coleman 'cause he had the best response in the debate: "What you talkin' 'bout, Grey Davis".
Had to throw in a little Abe Simpson in 9/11/??
You rock, BG!
