"The terrorists won’t blow up anything in Seattle or Portland - - they are allies, after all."

Actually, Seattle's Columbia Center - about 80 stories - was on the 9/11 group's original hit list, but was dropped because they didn't have enough pilots to hit all the targets they wanted to hit. The Columbia Center, about sixty yards from where I'm sitting, is absolutely wide open to the south.

Yo FRiend, my statement was purely political — I know there’s a ton of folks out there like you — hell, I live in Boston and get ragged all the time.

But you have a small voice, regionally.

You guys need to get a voice - - as do we.
