Since you seem to be the only person up right now, you must suffer my venom, although I'm not directing it at you personally: You can't believe the number of people I've spoken to today who have no idea what happened in Spain, and then when I tell them, they shrug their shoulders and say "life goes on." I am so John F'n Kerry pissed... you have no idea.

Hey...What happened in Spain ?

[abner]

Not to worry. I understand your frustration. Maybe this will make you feel better. I was pleasantly surprised today when my young employee came in to work(she is 15 years old) this afternoon. I asked her what she thought about the bombing and I was surprised when she knew what I was talking about.

I was impressed.

To be fair, she is not your average 15 year old though. She argues politics with her liberal social studies teacher. She is winning. :-)

It may affect her grade though.

A quote from the AQ letter on ItsHappening was interesting:

and we tell Abu Ali Al Harith Squad, the HQ decided the yemen will be the 3rd swamp of the american Devil,and for the apostate triator Govt which come next after Musharref...so all cells must get ready..work start at (4515sb)....and don't forget perfectin and don't forget Abu Ali Al Harithi and the divinly scholar which was handed over to egypt by yemen shiek Abdel Kader Abdel Aziz (Alsayed Imam El Shareef) who was captured 3 monthes after 11 sept attacks.

What does 3rd swamp of the American devil mean? Do they think we are chasing them into Yemen? Also, all cells must get ready..work start at (4515sb)? Is that a date we can track?

My local news radio station never mentioned Madrid. They spent the day on colleges lobbying for gender neutral restrooms.

Nothing new. If it didn't happen in America or kill Americans, Americans have long been notorious for not caring.

Remember that old headline - Colombian Airliner Crashes - One American Dead.

Some thought things changed after the attacks. Doesn't look like it.

Same thing here. Little notice of what Spain suffered- and little interest.

what is most amazing is that those same people are Kerry's base, they could care less about Spain, but then when something happens to the US, they are the first people to say we should have "allies". What allies are they fostering support from, when they could care less about what happens outside their own little worlds.
