I'm sure that more than a few freepers expected us to be killing and eating each other by now. No Muslims or their stores have been attacked as far as I know. Well, I can tell you that Brooklyn is strangely quiet. I suspect many are having trouble sleeping tonight, as I am.

The NYPD and Firemen were magnificent. Many leaders seem to have died at the head of their men. I suspect that now even Al Sharpton will lay off the cops for a week or two. Our mayor was a hero too. Right in the thick of it.

The public kept its own order.

No comment, just thought this needed repeating.

By evening, the line of folks waiting to give blood wrapped around the hospitals in the Northern Virginia area. They actually had to turn people away.

And as folks pulled up to the metro station to pick up loved ones, they'd yell out where they were going ... "Burke!" "Reston!" "Fairfax City!", and people got rides home from complete strangers.

Evacuation from DC was fairly orderly and calm.

This a.m. its quiet; DC cops and military with humvees on street corners; Pentagon still smoking.
