[My Favorite Headache]

I had such a horrible dream last night about multiple dirty bombs going off at the same time.I am a Floridian and this is my first glance at FR today. I all of a sudden have this very uneasy feeling in my stomach about the coming hours and days.

Oh by the way...you know how things get twisted up in dreams? There I was trying to get the hell out of town in a car as 2 bombs were set off miles away and I could feel this incredible heat. So I arrive at a friends house and I am having breathing problems in the dream but Fox News and CNN were giving updates on the bombs and then directly back into Michael Jackson coverage and Howard Dean.

Turn off your computer and television, take a couple of asprin and check out for a news-cycle. You'll feel much better upon returning.

You really shouldn't worry about a "dirty" bomb. The worst part of the whole event is the ordinary explosion. There won't be enough radioactivity to hurt you. It's the panic that is caused when you mention radioactive materials.
Now if they exploded atomic weapons... that's another story.

Hey, I'm smack in the middle of Wall Street and Midtown in New York City. Let me tell you, I was nervous as all heck back in November when we were being promised 100,000 casualty strikes by the end of Ramadan.

Well, Ramadan came and went, and no strike. Christmas came and went, and no strike.

At this point, it's up to them to prove they can actually hit us again before I get worked up about any more threats.
