"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"

Two Chinese diplomats, away from their Los Angeles consulate improperly, recently sped their vehicle past a Los Alamos National Laboratory guard post near classified facilities in what U.S. officials think was an intelligence mission, The Washington Times has learned.

I thought Barbara Olsen called Ted on her cell phone before her plane crashed into the Pentagon on 911. The plane that ditched in PA supposedly had flyers who made many cell phone calls. I know there are conspiracy theories, but I don't entertain them on this issue.

Dear all4one:

Re- North Korea explosion

"He said the 479 patients were spread over six hospitals in the disaster area, with their conditions changing rapidly"

Any idea if the patients are improving, or deteriorating?

Thanks, Swarthyguy. I believe Mr. Sayyed works with Mansoor Ijaz. Wish there more like him.

"South Korea has been unable to get its supplies in by road or air"

Tinfoil- I wonder if the detonation was nuclear?

[null and void]

Hmmmm.

Nothing to see here, move along...™

Wasn't the dolphin kill off in Florida said to be due to red tide?

Yes, it was.

Re- your son's observations. You must be relieved that he had the good sense to leave the scene. Any more news of the arrest?

If the incident IS reported, what do you bet that t=article will say that the backpack contained a sandwich or some other benign item?

FOFL. You're going to be wealthy if you've managed to trademark that phrase!

The first time Munch described the experience which gave rise to this painting was in Nice, writing in his literary diary. The entry for 22 January 1892 reads: "I was walking along the road with two friends. The sun was setting. I felt a breath of melancholy - Suddenly the sky turned blood-red. I stopped, and leaned against the railing, deathly tired - looking out across the flaming clouds that hung like blood and a sword over the blue-black fjord and town. My friends walked on - I stood there, trembling with fear. And I sensed a great, infinite scream pass through nature."

[Velveeta]

Are you still around, Nothingman? What's your take on what happened in North Korea?

[jerseygirl]

Thanks for the picture! That pretty much sums it up!

They knew what was going on anyway. A cell phone would have made no difference whatsoever in whether Congress was taken out had the heroes not crashed the plane.

You jumped to a conclusion that was inaccurate.
Might wanna' think before hitting the post, because it came off rather flip, although you might not have meant it that way.

North Korea is not letting foreign journalists into Ryongchon (site of last week's blast).

North Korea media ban stuns press freedom group

International press freedom advocate Reporters Without Borders said it was shocked that North Korea had blocked media access to Ryongchon, the scene of last week's train disaster.

The Paris-based rights group said it sent a protest letter to North Korea's representative at the United Nations in Geneva, urging Pyongyang to allow foreign journalists to visit the area.

It also criticised the Communist Government for its tardy admission of the disaster and its failure to supply adequate information.

"North Korea took two days to officially admit that an explosion on 22 April had devastated a neighbourhood around Ryongchon station. The news was broken on the day of the accident by the South Korean press," it said in a statement.

Ryongchon is 20 kilometres from the border with China and media coverage of the disaster has been based mainly on witness accounts from the Chinese side of the border and interviews with foreign diplomats and aid workers who were eventually given access.

Their information on casualties is supplied by North Korea's Government.

"[North Korea] was only releasing information about the scale of the catastrophe in dribs and drabs, with complete disregard for the victims," Reporters Without Borders said.

It said dozens of foreign journalists who travelled to the Chinese town of Dandong on the border were barred from travelling on to Ryongchon.

North Korean analysts said the Stalinist state's official admission of the disaster two days after the event was quicker than expected in a country that often stifles news of negative events.

Reporters Without Borders has ranked North Korea as the worst country in the world for press freedom for the past two years.

Yeah. It was so much simpler when we were up against the commies. At least they were rational...

yeah at least the Ruskies did not want to be Asuredly and Mutually Destroyed...plus we knew who the enemy was. Well, we do now to but nobody will take the measures that need to be taken to stop them...and the only thing that will do that is 1) close the borders..Period...and use deadly force to enforce it 2) stop releasing prisoners and do not allow them into the court system; KILL them. 3) any islamonazi who espouses the destruction of America, Americans or our leaders, is jailed as a traitor and punished as such ...I could go on but these are some of the kinder and gentler options I have in mind. You won't want to hear the others.

Humor Break

The US Postal Service created a stamp with a picture of Senator Hillary
Clinton to honor her achievements as the First Lady of our nation In daily
use it was shown that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes.

This enraged Senator Clinton, who demanded a full investigation.

After a month of testing, a special presidential commission made the following findings:

*The stamp was in perfect order.

*There was nothing wrong with the applied adhesive.

*People were spitting on the wrong side.

A Moroccan sought in connection with last month’s Madrid train bombings was indicted Wednesday on charges of helping plan the Sept. 11 attacks.

YAAAAAWWWNNN!! So what? Everybody, including us, seems to be acquitting or releasing these animals once they catch 'em anyway. We will never learn. If you saw my earlier post, you'll know we are destroying ourselves. We don't need no terrorists. /rant

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Exactly right, Indie. The jihadis absolutely long to die if they can do so while killing us. So different from the Russians (and maybe even an argument can be made to add the Japanese Kamikaze pilots here since there seems to be an endless supply of jihadis who want to kill us). The jihadis seem to operate on hate and hate alone.

It's time for the "peaceful majority" to take a stand, and make a choice.

IMO, their time ran out one week after 9-11. "There are no inncocent Muslims."
