unadultured = unadulterated

I can spell. No, really.

If that's the case, then I hope the criminal element will take care of the suicide bomber, because the honest citizens have already been disarmed.

I'll be in the shower if anyone needs me. :)

[Bikers4Bush]

Damn, I'd missed that. Nice catch. I hope the cops are keeping an eye on the Jewish neghborhoods in New York.

What on earth are they talking about? Hannukah? Eid? Christmas?

[Grampa Dave]

Now we know what turned all of the market indexes down after the early morning profit taking was sorted out.

Sheesh! Can these screaming mimis be a little MORE vague?! Why try to scare us senseless with such sketchy, unspecific, unsure crap?

Thank you, NYC GOP Chick! Can I get an "amen"?

AMEN!

[NYC GOP Chick]

I hope it's not an exploding Santa ...

From the ABCnews website:

"Sources say the threat involves a suicide bomber, possibly a female...."

And "possibly" one of thousands of Islamic nut-jobs who are STILL flooding through our STILL porous borders into the U.S.??

Let's face it -- as long as Islam populates the world, the world is just a car bomb, dirty bomb, and suicide bomb away from endless threats of daily death and destruction...

Who knows this equation better than Israel?

You really do need to post the appropriate url on a headline like this.

**Tonite is the first night of Chanukkah. **

Good point, OldFriend.

Here is the ABC Report...

Imminent Threat?
U.S. Intelligence Learn of Suicide Bombing Threat to New York City

Dec. 19— U.S. intelligence has received information about a credible and imminent threat to New York City, ABCNEWS has learned.

Sources say the threat involves a suicide bomber, possibly a female. The information was received through communication intercepts, and no specific target has been identified. Discussions between local and federal law enforcement officials are currently under way to develop a response.

Officials around the nation were already actively engaged in serious discussions with the Department of Homeland Security about whether events, chatter, and the time of year warrant elevating the threat level inside the United States to orange for the upcoming holiday season that starts tonight at sunset.

So, guess you prefer paying for "investigative" committees to find out what Bush knew and when? Why he failed to report a threat in his possession.

This is what you get when Homeland Security does all in its power to protect people. You have the right to ignore or listen - same as every other person.

Bummer, I guess Dean was right. We are no safer after the capture of Saddam. </sarcasm>
