Daschle will find some way to blame Bush. He will say if we had more resources at home instead of Iraq this wouldn't have happened.

Strange but true; the highest office building in Texas is the Coronado Towers in El Paso.

Couldn't they have just hired some muslims to do the job? I hear they're pretty good at taking down buildings.

They're going about it all wrong. They just need to get a bunch of Yoopers after the second week of deer camp and tell them they can't do it.

Yabbut at 200' it wouldn't be worth their trouble. They got their site set on much bigger prizes. Besides, there's no innocent people in abandoned grain elevators.

A loan office won the drawing and passed the honor onto Jeb Huisman, a 30-year-old finance officer for the nearby town of Garretson who suffers from MS.

The "honor"? Of pushing the button and not bringing down the building properly?
