I found these after hours at that site, I get so mad thinking we are spending our money sending our kids to these schools!
So again the Mexican border I couldn't get anyone to listen to me too 2 yrs ago it was all about Canada!
But then they get a ride into the east coast and everywhere in between!
Anyone here been symptomatic with eye allergies, burning and irritation of the eyes?
Lord knows how many of them passed for Mexicans and are here now awaiting their orders.

A nuclear blast is an explosion with intense light and heat, a damaging pressure wave and widespread radioactive material that can contaminate the air, water and ground surfaces for miles around. During a nuclear incident, it is important to avoid radioactive material, if possible. While experts may predict at this time that a nuclear attack is less likely than other types, terrorism by its nature is unpredictable.
IF THERE IS A NUCLEAR BLAST
If there is advanced warning of an attack:
Take cover immediately, as far below ground as possible, though any shield or shelter will help protect you from the immediate effects of the blast and the pressure wave.
If there is no warning:
1. Quickly assess the situation.
2. Consider if you can get out of the area or if it would be better to go inside a building to limit the amount of radioactive material you are exposed to.
3. If you take shelter go as far below ground as possible, close windows and doors, turn off air conditioners, heaters or other ventilation systems. Stay where you are, watch TV, listen to the radio, or check the Internet for official news as it becomes available.
4. To limit the amount of radiation you are exposed to, think about shielding, distance and time.
* Shielding: If you have a thick shield between yourself and the radioactive materials more of the radiation will be absorbed, and you will be exposed to less.
* Distance: The farther away you are away from the blast and the fallout the lower your exposure.
* Time: Minimizing time spent exposed will also reduce your risk.
Use available information to assess the situation. If there is a significant radiation threat, health care authorities may or may not advise you to take potassium iodide. Potassium iodide is the same stuff added to your table salt to make it iodized. It may or may not protect your thyroid gland, which is particularly vulnerable, from radioactive iodine exposure. Consider keeping potassium iodide in your emergency kit, learn what the appropriate doses are for each of your family members. Plan to speak with your health care provider in advance about what makes sense for your family.
For more information, see Potassium Iodide from Centers for Disease Control.
For more general information, see "Are you Ready?" from Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Sumpin' going on with us T.M. wimmen!!!
We really cannot be 'series' ALL the time.
Comic relief is a good thing.

M'Dear?
Will you please that frightening SARS info?
I agree Bush will carry Ohio. I think, however, it makes a great target for terrorists. First, its cities are not as closely watched as first tier cities. Second, a strike there or near there at a nuke plant would spread radiation across PA, WV, MaryLand, Virginia, New Jersey, and New York. Not to metion others depending on winds.
The effect could be dramatic on many states.
You know it. There are a lot of pro Palestinian, pro-Hezbollah supporters there (a.n.s.w.e.r.) My son is a H.S. senior going through the application process and we absolutely forbid him to apply there.
Send him south. Schools are more conservative, as are the towns. Virginia has some excellent schools.
I think you and I are dead. LOL
Not before I take some of them with me NO WAY!
NO ESCAPE Babeee!
don't leave out Michigan some insane number of people in the US live within 500 miles of Michigan. It is a perfect target.
Michigan, however, has a huge Muslim population, and probably has significant numbers of safe houses and supporters. I just wonder if they would hit with something big where many of their own people might be.
They sure could.
