"Woof" is used in broadcasting to say "stop," "that's enough" or to mark a specific point in time -- which is what is done in this case. "Tony's show starts in 3 minutes: WOOF!" Means in 3 minutes from-- NOW!
She needs to cut down on the caffine.
She's angry and I understand her fear.
They have a love for that good old western technology and gadgets (oh, according to them, they created the clock, compass and everything else), while living in the seventh century. Remote triggering of contents that could be in a container...
Jane should get some gear and guns just in case.
She needs to cut down on the cocaine.
They're upset about tag...but are teaching sex in the classes. How upside down things have gotten. Sheesh!
Now Fox News is commenting on how Curious George is not politically correct.
Of course, this liberal moron completely ignores the fact that Boyington was part Sioux Indian, but never let it be said that a liberal let the facts get in the way of an argument....
If these are representative of the "best and brightest" academia is producing, I weep for our future....
Got directions from radioproducer. Am on my way!
He is usually there. I don't know if it is every week, but I think so.
Excellent.

U.S. - UAE sign first Container Security Initiative in the Middle East
15 December, 2004
On December 12, 2004, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Robert J. Bonner and Sultan Bin Sulayem, Chief Executive Officer of the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation signed a Declaration of Principles that governs the implementation of the Container Security Initiative at seaports in Dubai. The ceremony took place at the Burj al Arab and marks the first time CSI has reached an agreement with a country in the Middle East.
The Container Security Initiative was designed as a response to the threat terrorism poses to international shipping. The primary purpose of CSI is to protect global trade routes and containerized cargo that transit between CSI ports and the United States. Dubai ports are now the 6th largest seaport operation in the world and are the most strategic commercial shipping venture in the Gulf.
CSI uses intelligence and automated information to identify and target containers that pose a risk for terrorism. These containers are pre-screened at the port of departure before they arrive at U.S. ports. Host country Customs officials utilize non-intrusive technology to quickly examine the shipments without causing delays in the movement of cargo. Dubai serves as the 34th port to join the CSI program which continues to expand to additional ports in strategic locations.

Interviewed on CBS' Early Show this morning, Weir explained that he knew he wasn't at his best on the day of the long program, and in particular wasn't "feeling pretty." Then, waxing philosophical, he noted that things aren't always perfect. If they were, Michelle Kwan would be skating, and "we wouldn't be in Iraq."
This isn't Johnny's first foray into political opinion at these Olympics. As NewsBuster David Pierre has pointed out, Weir has been seen sporting a Soviet Union retro jacket and has been heard to inveigh against "Republican-style people."
Uh oh, two bit sheep shagger.
Hey Tony, I only get to listen to the 1st 1/2 hour of your show so you may have already addressed this issue but just in case, could you give a shout out to this brave American Hero who has been dissed by the university he graduated from. The guy is awarded the CMH and spent 20 months in a Japanese POW camp and they won't erect a stinkin monument to him.
'Pappy' Shot Down by Campus Ignoramuses
It's well known that college students today aren't as educated in our nation's history as they should be, but it's still hard to grasp the mind-bending political correctness just displayed by the University of Washington's student senate at its campus in Seattle.
The issue before the Senate this month was a proposed memorial to World War II combat pilot Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, a 1933 engineering graduate of the university, who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his service commanding the famed "Black Sheep" squadron in the Pacific. The student senate rejected the memorial because "a Marine" is not "an example of the sort of person UW wants to produce."
Digging themselves in deeper, the student opponents of the memorial indicated: "We don't need to honor any more rich white males." Other opponents compared Boyington's actions during World War II with murder.
"I am absolutely bewildered that the Student Senate voted down the resolution," Brent Ludeman, the president of the UW College Republicans, told me. He noted that despite the deficiencies of the UW History Department, the complete ignorance of Boyington's history and reputation by the student body was hard to fathom. After all, "Black Sheep Squadron," a 1970s television show portraying Colonel Boyington's heroism as a pilot and Japanese prisoner of war, still airs frequently on the History Channel. Apparently, though, it's an unusual UW student who'd be willing to learn any U.S. history even if it's spoonfed to him by TV.
As for the sin of honoring a rich white male, Mr. Ludeman points out that Boyington (who died in 1988) was neither rich nor white. He happened to be a Sioux Indian, who wound up raising his three children as a single parent. "Colonel Boyington is luckily not around to see how ignorant students at his alma mater can be today," says Kirby Wilbur, a morning talk show host at Seattle's KVI Radio. Perhaps the trustees and alumni of the school will now help educate them.

It is not the product, it is the process. The deal with the United Arab Republic company was not done openly according to critics of the program. If this is an innocuous program, why wasn't it done more publicly? My guess is that Pres. Bush was trying to do a favor to a new ally and knew the furor that would ensue.
That does not excuse vetting this issue openly.
