Two weeks ago, we had a foot of snow fall, and it's been snowing just about every other day. This past Friday morning we woke up to freezing rain and snow. Driving was horrible in the early hours.

Well, I have two extra bedrooms you're welcome to any time until the Spring thaw.

And have you got shearling boots and chenille socks? If not, GET SOME!

Frankly, I've already been colder this year than I can remember.

If you want the networks to cover it, and get a jump on the weeks news, you schedule for 9pm sunday night. That is prime time nation wide.

I'm not saying the speech will be a bust on FR but that will be the general consensus of the MSM unless he breaks news tonight. And yes I meant to say the Iraqis held elections.

I'd like to see a show of hands of Freepers who agree with Chris Wallace on today's Fox News Sunday when he said that "Preisent Bush looked mad yesterday when he had to admit he had been wiretapping American citizens?"

NO WAY!! Bush is furious because our national security was compromised by an illegal leak .. NOT because he was found to be tracking terrorists and their contacts.

PS Can you see I didn't raise my hand??

What's the legit beef if the DOJ does a review every 45 days and Congress has been repeatedly briefed on the NSA?

Where's the Constitutional showdown?

I just turned on the TV, and there is this Tom Brokaw thing on talking about a guy who was killed in Iraq...is anyone watching this? Was this scheduled long in advance of the President's speech?

...Speeches by politicians are nothing more than partisan cheerleading sessions to state that the 'other side' doesn't know what they're talking about. No matter which party's politician gives the speech

Here's a blast from the past:
"Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy ..."

Yeah, "partisan cheerleading" alright

AAah .. I'm in that Dolphin fan group. I'll NEVER forget that incredible season. I was in the stands and had to take a Valium after the game to calm my heart after Griese was injured and carried out, and Earl Morrell went in. It's a monumental and wonderful accomplishment .. I wish Peyton had done it today.

I agree the NSA matter needs to be handled and handled well. I'm not so sure tonight is the night the president will address some key issues, although he'll certainly have the country's attention and it might be a good time to remind folks that:

1) The spying is only done on those people within the United States who are known to have association with Al Qaeda.

2) The NYT article makes clear that no laws were broken. Any democrat saying differently is playing politics, imo.

3) The NYT article also says that the CIA seized the terrorists' computers, cellphones and personal phone directories, said the officials familiar with the program. The NSA. surveillance was intended to exploit those numbers and addresses as quickly as possible, the officials said. In addition to eavesdropping on those numbers and reading e-mail messages to and from the Qaeda figures, the NSA. began monitoring others linked to them, creating an expanding chain. While most of the numbers and addresses were overseas, hundreds were in the United States, the officials said.

They were tracking numbers that were tied to confirmed terrorists and according to reports, stopped 3 terrorist attacks within the US. This is EXACTLY how the 9/11 attacks were coordinated - between jihadists and sympathizers or other terrorists living in this country.

4) The NYT article also states that the government DID use subpoenas for domestic taps in a great many instances, mostly related to conversations between terrorist within the US.

5) Clinton used NSA satellites to spy on Americans after the Oklahoma City bombing incident. The leftists never had a problem with that and all the complaints we hear from them now about American's civil rights being abused pale in comparison when one remembers what happened to women and children at WACO and how Clinton abused his office and used the IRS to target his political enemies.
