LUCKY THREAD NUMBER:

HOMELAND INSECURITY

Backup electrical systems failed to kick in

A mysterious power failure at Logan Airport that delayed dozens of flights for more than five hours has still not been explained – six days later.

Airport officials insist airline security was not compromised during the blackout Monday at Logan International's Terminal E, but backup electrical systems failed to kick in as they are programmed under such circumstances.

Al Jazeera is reporting that the Bulgarian hostage has been killed.

Ha ha, you jokester. :)

Has anything about the Illinois train derailment this weekend been posted here? Here are some photos but the actual article requires registration.

Yup, as well as the derailment in Atlanta this AM.

Drudge:

The government is quietly shipping stocks of chemical antidotes to states under a long-awaited program to react to potential terror attacks. New York and Boston, sites of the upcoming political conventions, are among the first areas to receive the 'chem-packs.' Developing...

Good point. I love all animals. Ok, we can just rename the 2 wings the "right wing" and the "far right wing." How's that? I know I like it. ;)

Prayers going up.

[HipShot]

Where is the petition? I'll sign it right now :)

BTW, best idea ever :)

Donna, that damn bird again. Someone needs to shoot it.

[HipShot]

I thought they were anticipating some kind of "pox" bio...

What day(s) are the Democratic and Republican conventions actually being held?

[drymans wife]

Lot's of prayers headed your way.
