New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Friday that terrorists come "in all sizes and shapes and forms" and it wouldn't be fair for police to profile terrorism suspects on the basis of a Middle Eastern appearance.

Hey Bloomy how about a profile of 11 Egyptian collage students, is that profiling in your book???

Dunno, but eyewitness reports (Fox 3 minutes ago) pointed out that the people-flow was the largest the reporter had seen (northbound). So.... we can put it together I guess.

Democratic Senator saying that Joe will win in November because he will get Republican and Independents.

Look like Joe still has some friends in the D ranks.

Good morning, Karl and everyone. Off to a late start, and will be here and there today (first ever linen tapestry warp on my new rug loom!).

Israel just announced their new campaign. Bye-bye Joe and Cindy. ;-)

Rockets hit Nahariya chicken coop; two cows die

The hiding the cows in the chicken coop thing is not working.

Is that 'Palestinian' 'militant' in the photo firing an AR-15/M16? Seems we know what the weapons Olhmert gave Abbas are being used for, just in case there was any doubt.

I will have no one to send to school this year, either...and you know, I am not complaining. Teenagers are hard to get motivated!

It did feel funny not buying school supplies...

I don't think I've heard it. Or I don't remember it by that title.

"That pic could have been taken in Oakland.."

Nope, not enough bling bling on the cars and no spinning thingies on the rims.

May the Dims continue to radicalize to the point that only the radicals dare vote for them...

Someone may have discussed this as I am in and out of keeping up with events.

Last night on the John Batchelor Show they were discussing Hezbollah's Arab Israeli spotters. These people have been informing the Hezis of where their rockets land and what they need to improve their aim. The Israelis apparently caught these guys.

Now the Hezis have 100 person some teams now monitoring cable and Israeli TV to check their targets. They alternate civilian watchers with military ones around the clock 100 at a time are watching TV to better their aim. They were saying Israeli TV gave most of the images.

I can't stand it when the Fox crew covers the camera into a circle and then looks at the smoke etc. and removes their hands. No way is this game hiding the location of the hit. Israel had better do a better job of censoring the media.

Seems that every election cycle, more and more dims are waking up to the fact that their party is now the "Communist Wannabee Rich Folks and Assorted People Who Think They Are Smarter Than You And Who Want to Tell You What To Do" party...

Even my yellow-dog dad finally switched.
