[Semper Paratus]

Sec. Ridge will hold a briefing at 3:30 PM EST.
Nothing follows.

[cajungirl]

Why am I not surprised you are armed all the time? I am not being fractious, I am not saying anything to inflame anyone, just asking.

[MEG33]

PIFFLE!

[B Knotts]

You don't think that people walking freely into the country, at will, doesn't pose an extreme security threat?

You see, that's why a lot of us can't take these security "alerts" seriously. If they were serious about security, border security would be priority 1.

That they allow the situation to continue largely unaddressed, and even hint at amnesty for those who are already here shows they are not serious about these security threats.

Meanwhile, they are concentrating on threats that are mostly played out. Although I do admit that the cargo plane angle is a possiblity. Still, that can be handled by explosive sniffers, geiger counters and dogs to make sure that no people smuggle themselves on via a large package.

Sorry, I got my autonomist mixed up with my autonomous. That happens sometimes on it own without any help.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al

Don't know what to say Dog

Joking around about colors is one thing .. I'm not so uptight that I can't joke around also

But the pissing and moaning is totally different .. Ridge is doing his job

I still remember when the first case of anthrax was reported .. Ridge didn't hide the information .. he came right out and told us it was anthrax .. Something the previous administration would never had done

These announcement are Warnings .. what folks decided to to with it is their business .. but NO ONE can say they were not warned

[Mulder]

Thanks for reminding me to kneel down tonight and thank God that you're not in charge of Homeland Security.

You're welcome.

Reminder, the more Rights you give up and the more powerful the gov't becomes, the more safe you'll be.

[cajungirl]

I am not saying a word. Not one damn word. But my new adjective is </>deconstructionists</i>. I see alot of deconstructionists around here latelly,,they just seem to want to tear down anyone in government. Like what have they done to help the republic lately? Deconstructionists sneer, jeer, call people names, interpret everything anyone does in the most paranoid way, distrust all. I am not saying a word however!

[Not A Snowbird]

So do tell,,are yall terribly busy at Homeland Security,,any insider tips for us.

Naw, I'm just an analyst peon. Just sitting here running numbers to compare workload under Yellow to workload under Orange. Whee!

[firewalk]

Thanks for the ping

[Miss Marple]

H, Dog! I am checking while babysitting. What is this press conference about, do you know?

No Ridge-bashing from me...I think he has done a great job!

[Mulder]

Why am I not surprised you are armed all the time? I am not being fractious, I am not saying anything to inflame anyone, just asking.

I don't know.

Maybe you believe that us peasants are incapable of defending ourselves, and only the gov't can do so?

[cajungirl]

You should keep all your rights right down to the one where you can publicly antagonize anyone, demean the President, demean public servants, keep them all.

[MEG33]

No pardons name for them is the UNAPPEASEABLES!

[Squantos]

Sorry to hear yer goal didn't score. Flu will do that to ya Ern. I am using a product this season called "Airborne" from Airbornehealth.com . Ya can buy it over the counter at local drug stores also . I pop one in my Orange Juice in the AM , One in my diet Dr Pepper at breaks and when I get home. Working thus far. Actually got rid of my sniffles I had when someone told me about the product. Might be voodoo or witchcraft but it makes me think I'm doing something to counter the cold and flu season aside from lots of handwashing and vitamin c.

Stay Safe and keep the key to the CM locker handy till after this Press conference.

[Dog]

Not much....I'm trying to get cajungirl to be fractious.

[Not A Snowbird]

Works well as a night light during my nap time !

LOL! I wish. Unfortunately I share my cubicle grouping with three other people, so no naps for me. Plus my boss has an annoying habit of poking his head over my partition like Kilroy.

I think I need to go buy an Elmo, and Ernie, and a Bert. (I don't like teletubbies. They're evil.)

[baltodog]

This is all well and good, but I don't see a harbour or a breakwall system. What about Jet-Ski's and Hobie-Cat's?
These are the little details that need to be addressed in solutions like this.
Other than that, I see no problem...

[Mulder]

You should keep all your rights right down to the one where you can publicly antagonize anyone, demean the President, demean public servants, keep them all.

We agree then.

[Miss Marple]

You go, girl! HA!
