Gordon, I know what you mean. The hubby and I don't usually watch too many of the doofus talking heads and their 1/8 of the twisted truth they barf out every 15 minutes, but we have had it on almost constantly b/c the terrorism thing is so weird.......over the last 3 days, we have actually seen the incidence of these "stories" increase about 50%. You would think there was a terrorist lurking around every corner now. Talk about freaking out the agoraphobics in this country!

Yep, we are being "prepared" for something.....

Can you imagine what it would be like to be those in charge of running the Rose Parade, especially considering that the parade is televised worldwide? Talk about sweating bullets!

A terrorist around every corner, AVOID CROWDS! A communist in every bush, BE VIGILANT! A polly on this forum, SAVE ME! SAVE ME!

Baloney, fill up your gas tank and party!
