Expert feels it's ridiculous to say it's definitely not terrorism."

Who has said authoritatively that "it's definitely not terrorism?" The only thing I've heard so far from official sources is that "there's no indication that its terrorism." Which is true, as far as I can tell.

What they have said is that they have NO INDICATION of terrorism.

And they have no indication that it wasn't sabotage either.

But lets not let ridiculous and preposterously premature denials by professional liars like Mike Bloomberg get in the way.

The report came from a CBS correspondent who is traveling with the President.

CBS is reporting that people are trapped in rides at the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky - on roller coasters and stuff. Hotter than blazes there, and they've been stuck there for a couple hours or so.

Says the situation is "series" and they need to get them out of there.

>> Gonna be a hairy ride for the next twenty four hours... << >> If it's bioterror we may not even find out for a week or two... << That's a rather disquieting thought. A needed thought, but unplesant none the less. I hadn't thought of that one.

It is, indeed an unpleasant thought, but not a needed one. And there's a good reason why you didn't think of it.

There's no reason to!

I remember one of the first episodes of NewsRadio was about a problem in the subways. They sent the office idiot (Matthew) down to cover it. The newscasters kept having to vamp when they tried to get information from him, and he knew absolutely nothing. "Still no news on that subway accident..." They finally thought they'd gotten through to Matthew, but ended up talking to Bill MacNeil's (Phil Hartman) furniture dealer instead.

I loved that show!

Fox showed one very nice-looking young female subway rider climbing over the tracks below ground, with no shortage of volunteers willing to offer a hand

In 1977, there was looting like you would not believe.

Has the city evolved?

We will see.

Bush is just trying to blend in with the locals. He's in San Diego, right? This is an East Coast problem. Let Cheney deal with it. Surf's Up!

Weird. Wonder if they're redistributing some of the nation's electric supply?

Why would television go dead in Jersey but you still have power? There must be a reason but I sure don't understand it.

I heard that the back generators failed at JFK Airport and that the terminals restrooms weren't working. Yuk!
