There is no right wing or left wing on "the list". America is satan, remember?

Yes, but the left comes right out and worships the diety!
The right is suffering the consequences!

Why Hastert, indeed? Notice how the liberal media isn't playing Hastert up as much as Commie Tommie and Tom Lockjaw?

The fact that Hastert is being targeted punches a big hole in the loony-left conspiracy theory that it has been home-grown, right-wing militia types spreading the anthrax around. And as such, the Hastert angle will not be trumpeted.

The Speaker of the House outranks the Senate Majority Leader. Sorry Commie Tommie, looks like you've been upstaged again.

VLWC, anybody?

Why can't you go get tested - now! Go to your doctor! Get on the antibiotics. May as well be safe.

Re: the President MIA (this is not targeted at you, Howlin, you know that, I'm just posting to your last post): I just watched CSPAN and Speaker Hastert CONFIRMED that there was spores found in the ventilation system, there was spores found on mail going through x-ray systems in the building and yes, he heard about his office being quarantined (I believe it was his 4th floor office) but he was not sure why at this moment.

As for the President, Speaker Hastert said that the decision to CLOSE DOWN THE CAPITOL BUILDING WAS MADE IN CONJUNCTION WITH WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS, SENATE AND HOUSE LEADERS.

Our President is NOT missing in action.

I'm watching my tape of "Soldier" (1998, Kurt Russell, broadcast on TBS last night) and I think we should send in some military might of that caliber into Iraq -- after we bomb them to molecular components.

Anyway, does anyone know if Hitlery is still out of town?

I can't seem to find an answer to your question but I'd bet a bundle that she's conveniently out of town.

They may have all of us tested as a precaution.

Even if they decide not to test you, you might want to consider having your private physician order those tests -- just for your own protection and piece of mind. Even if the insurance won't pay for it, it would be worthwhile.

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy was coined by Hitlery to define everyone who wasn't a Klintoon Cool-Aid Drinker/Kneepadder

And variations of it were popular screennames at FR about the time I joined. *snicker*

I repeat "GET YOURSELF TESTED NOW"!!!!!!!!!

Heck with that. GO ON CIPRO NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Our illustrious senators have been on Cipro for days now merely on the reasonable expectation that they have been exposed. You don't have to test positive to go on antibiotics. Do it now. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If your bosses aren't telling you anything, go to your own doctors immediately and demand antibiotics!

This is serious, folks. I think this proves beyond a doubt that the same scumbags are doing the anthrax that did 9/11. That day they had planned to take out the Capitol. They are trying to assassinate everyone in line for the presidency, and probably the president too, if they can figure out how to do that. They are coming back now to try to do what they failed to do on 9/11 - kill Congressional leaders and scare the others out of town. The U.S. Government has to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to figure this out!!!

Today the PFLP has assassinated an Israeli cabinet member, who was an elected member of the Knesset. It's clear to me that this is an orchestrated assassination campaign targeting elected leaders in the U.S. and Israel. The question now is, what are we and Israel going to do about it?

Beyond stupid. It's absolutely insane.

But then it's the result of two generations of the combination of PC, multiculturalism and affirmative action.

Our country is saturated at all governmental and bureaucratic levels with it.
What should judgement and competency have to do with it?

The good news is that eventually the problem is self-correcting.
