I never thought much about them, one way or the other. But when they did the song and video about murdering an abusive husband (Goodbye Earl).  The celebration of murder, complete with partying and dancing, regardless of cause, was obscene.  That was 1999.  I was dismissive of them from then on.

[Roccus]

Don't forget the cordless hair dryers they were amassing.

[Peach]

What?

[shalom aleichem]

Why do they need hundreds or thousands of detonators? Come on, think!

[YaYa123]

Further proof if you want it, the MSM does not want to mention Democrat embarrassments....how little attention the MSM gave Cynthia McKinney's resounding defeat. She's as far left kook fringe as you can get, and she lost her run-off. She didn't rate a single mention that I saw, from the big boys this morning....no doubt she's just too outrageous for them to mourn, so Lieberman gets all the attention. When Lieberman wins in November, he will get less attention too.

[Peach]

What? I just said they are used as detonators. What do you think they're used for?

[demkicker]

I had no idea Mehlman was so articulate, but he's as good as they get! Of course, Gregory had to end the interview with gloom & doom AP poll GOP poll numbers. Mehlman handled him well on that too...

I'm certainly not worried as the campaigning has yet to begin.

[Roccus]

Another FReeper mentioned this in the last few days. I believe it was in the Twin Cities area.
Another report was of local authorities stopping a gutted out 2006 van with two ME types and a load of cell phones. One was detained and the other released. IIRC this was in TX/OK. Why would one gut a brand new van?

Tuning to TiVo'd Sunday Morning Show now.

Blood pressure lowering...kumbaya, lollipops and puppy dreams.

[Chuck54]

You can't keep a good dog down.

Like I told my daughter years ago; pets are better than kids because if they get pregnant you can sell the offspring.

:)

[demkicker]

Had too many bloody marys this morning?

[A.Hun]

Hello Peach, I think this is the story on the cell phones.

Wonkette thinks it's no big deal. (Go figure).

I don't know what else they are used for. My point was why do they need so many of track cell phone? Perhaps set up IEDs in numerous locations in USA? Or there may be alternate useages. Such as untraceable way to communicate among secret cells at the appointed hour.

[Peach]

Oh, thanks for finding that, A. Hun. I couldn't remember where it was.

Shame on Wonkette for not putting the pieces together and looking at the big picture.

[shalom aleichem]

load of McVeigh fertilizer? (Re new gutted out van)

[acsrp38]

Thunder boomies and lightening here-- one time actually had a lightening strike that turned the puter ON -- time to go.

Save me a seat for later

Don't talk about me while I'm gone!!!

[sgtyork]

Truth is more powerful than biases and should be the focus of the media -- What a concept! Pretty good mini-lesson for Jane Hall.

[Peach]

Since so many of these Arabs have been seen throwing away various components of the phones, I don't even think they were going to be used for throw aways after making a phone call but rather for bomb detonators.

I think one day the call was going to go out for the sleeper cells in countries across the globe but definitely within the US at the least, for bombs to go off in Home Depots, malls, hospitals, etc.

[snugs]

IMHO they are trying to weaken the alliance between Britain and the US.

They do not understand and never will that this is too deep and strong bond to be broken.

In a way with a socialist British PM who was very friendly towards Clinton this was the acid test but he has co-operated and developed a personal friendship with a Republican President for what he would see the good of his country and the world at large.

I may not agree with him on the domestic front but I am with him on his foreign policy even if in a way I believe it started as a way for him to get influence on the world stage.
