Well , Poor matt has a time or 2 every week . it happens he lives in the grove , so it speaks volumes . It seems I have a time also , so forgive me . I agree with you , your gender means nothing to me . I'll address you properly in the future . Honest mistake :) ..

[bleudevil]

I don't think he wants to return to Fox ...seems happy with the radio show. BTW, I think "you the man" was meant as a compliment, not literally.

[floriduh voter]

No, but I am one of those cute girls that go to Bush rallys compared to the Gore chicks in Fla. who had tattoos and teeth missing. lol

[Ben Bolt]

LOL ! hmm , yes they do . So do people who do not own property .. For what it is worth .

[floriduh voter]

Yeah, I took it as a compliment but every once in awhile I like folks to know that there's a chick operating this pc. I wasn't insulted or anything just correcting the record.

[bleudevil]

I may not own a house, but I pay rent to someone who pays property taxes, and I own a car that I pay taxes on, and license plate fees, etc. A person can own a house and still be a bum.

(I know I'm a little defensive on this subject)

Drudge said something worth repeating:

(I'm paraphrasing) "One would think that you would work on our borders before you start counting and watching every keystroke on our computers"

[Coolidge75]

Good handle.

[Ben Bolt]

Hmm .. ok ! I'll take your word for it ...........

[Pokey78]

Drudge: "I imagine the lights will be on late at the White House over this! (The Mirror headline)

Matt has officially lost it.

[americalost]

It didn't strike me as badly as it struck him, until he pointed out it isn't just the Mirror -- it's all of 'em.

[Rain-maker]

US special unit 'stands by to steal atomic warheads'

An elite American military unit is preparing for possible incursion into Pakistan in order to steal its nuclear weapons arsenal, it is reported today.

The special forces unit is training with Israel's most trusted anti-terrorist unit, and would be called into action in the event that Gen Pervaiz Musharraf lost power in Pakistan, the New Yorker magazine said.

The CIA believes that Pakistani army officers sympathetic to the Taliban could pose a threat to Gen Musharraf, and that some of the country's estimated 24 nuclear warheads could be stolen by renegades within Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI.

Seymour Hersch, a journalist whose reporting on the post-September 11 crisis has been broadly accurate so far, said that members of Israel's Unit 262, or Sayeret Matkal, came to America soon after the attacks and have been training with Pentagon special forces.

Mr Hersch quoted a "senior military officer" as confirming that intense planning was going on for the "exfiltration" - theft - of warheads. But there are doubts about whether the CIA - or any other intelligence agency - knows the exact location of Pakistan's warheads, which were first tested, to the surprise of American intelligence agencies, in 1998.

The fear that Gen Musharraf could lose control of the country and some or all of the warheads is based on the close links between the ISI and the Taliban. Last week, the Pakistani president dismissed such concerns.

"We have an excellent command-and-control system which we have evolved, and there is no question of their falling into the hands of any fundamentalists," Gen Musharraf said. Pakistan is thought to have a number of intermediate-range missiles to carry its warheads as well as using F-16 fighter-bombers.

There are a number of possible targets for the use of these weapons by renegades sympathetic to the Islamic extremists in Afghanistan. These include India, itself a nuclear power, or the four American aircraft carriers and British vessels currently cruising off Pakistan's coastline as bases for air and commando attacks on the Taliban and al-Qa'eda.

Despicable reporters/papers to publish this, true or not. Article and comments found here:

S special unit 'stands by to steal atomic warheads'

[sweetliberty]

You AND Matt got that right....since when does war on terrorism mean enslaving Americans in the interest of being fair to foreigners? We are the ones who will be punished by this legislation. What I want to know is who stands to gain by keeping the borders open and the internet "closed?"

[altura]

That's a shame ... he found it for a few minutes last week ... I didn't think it would last.

[CedarDave]

Very good monologue by Drudge on powergrab by Feds, and new FBI powers and loss of privacy/freedom.

[altura]

A better tactic would probably be racial profiling ...

But that wouldn't show the proper attitude, would it?

[OldFriend]

Prior to the eleventh Matt was having hysterics about the face recognition technology being used in Florida. Frankly, I don't care what kind of surveillance is used in public places. No doubt he continues to have nightmares about where he will be seen, without any understanding whatsoever of the purpose or function of the technology.

[Ben Bolt]

Naww .. I was refering to something I read recently , a time when folks who could not vote unless they owned land . Hey , sometimes it's better not to own ! no harm done ..
