"This is a limited program designed to prevent attacks on the United States of America, and I repeat limited," Bush said before flying back to Washington...

"If someone from al-Queada is calling you, we'd like to know why."

[SouthTexas]

The dims probably think we can add them to the "no call list" and be safe.

[REDWOOD99]

Damn good point!

[REDWOOD99]

"Listen, Mr. Terrorist. All we want is the absence of war. Er, I mean peace. Same Thing."

[hdstmf]

Yes. Dimorats really are that stupid and then some.

[postaldave]

why would they have them on the no call list and their speed dial?

[REDWOOD99]

Over the top, jumped the shark, (there's another one I can't remember) whatever, the dems have done it on this issue.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Well, if someone from Al-Qaeda is calling me, I'd like to know why too.

The exact words I was about to post.

[Personal Responsibility]

and they *ALWAYS* call during dinner!

[Xenalyte]

That's because I'm really you. Finally, the truth can be told!

[Ann Archy]

Take THAT, Schumkie Chewmer!!

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

That's because I'm really you. Finally, the truth can be told!

My Dear,

There is no way someone as young, cute and (very) female as you are will ever be mistaken for me!

BTW Happy New Year to you and yours. Hope Mom is well.

[REDWOOD99]

Chuckie would take 4 mins. and not say a DAMN thing to answer that!

"The NSA program is one that listens to a few numbers called from the outside of the United States of known al Qaeda or affiliated people," he said.

So the picture the MSM paints of NSA spooks sitting in a unmarked van listening to your call to Aunt Edna is not what is really happening.

I would imagine that these calls are intercepted even before they get to the USA.

She's doing well - chemo's hard on her, but you know what a fighter she is. I have no doubt she'll get through this with flying colors!

[Tonysgirl]

Heck I would Like to know also why anyone would be calling me since no one does.......LOL

[AnAmericanMother]

Xena, my mom just got through with the whole shebang 3 months ago. She had a pretty rough time (chemo and radiation) but the good news is that 3 months out, her hair is back, her fatigue is gone, and she says she feels almost as good as new (still has a nap in the afternoon.)

The thing that may be of interest to you is that we went through all this stuff 10 years ago with my dad (who is still cancer free), and the advances they have made both in effectiveness and patient comfort are unbelievable.

So be of good cheer, this thing CAN be beat, and your mom WILL do fine.

[REDWOOD99]

Just where are you posting your phone number?

[REDWOOD99]

My prayers are with her, and you.

[Xenalyte]

Thanks for the kind words! Mom's feeling beat-up because ordinarily she's not a sick-type person - she tends not to go to the doctor for anything less than pneumonia - and the chemo is just wearing her out. We're hoping the radiation won't be as hard on her.

But like I said, she's tough - she scares punks (including me) - and I have no doubt she'll be fine come this time next year.

[Xenalyte]

Thank you! That's sweet of you.
