Let's keep a live commentary thread gonig again today.

You macho guys are too quick to assume that the rest of us are cowering in the corner. Please! I lived through the Cold War, the riots of the 60's, and Jimmy Carter's horrible presidency! I am fairly tough and am not giving in.

HOWEVER, a good strategist plans for ALL contingencies.

Absolutely. You go, girl!

[TexKat]

Hold on to your seats everyone!!!!

Has anyone considered Halloween? It's next week, and if this guy is still around, there will be some pretty bummed out kids.

Here, many stores and malls have the kids come inside where they supply treats and entertainment. Perhaps this would be a good alternative for the DC area is there if concern about Halloween.

News Briefing--OK--all together now

[mhking]

BREAKING NEWS: MOOSE CONFERENCE IN 15 MINUTES!!

Don't forget the cubicle-bound...

[rintense]

OH MAN! I am watching this one! Is it scheduled for 4pm?

[kcat]

That is an interesting thought. If only this would stop like the anthrax letters did. After we nail these creeps, that is.

[mewzilla]

Wonder what stupid human trick the shooter has requested now?

[AmericanInTokyo]

The Question is: When Will They Tell The People The Unbearable Truth?

This is the most comedic yet tragic thing about this whole politically correct Chinese fire drill in and near our beloved nation's capital.

[mhking]

Fox New says it is awaiting a news briefing

My guess is that they'll confirm that this is from the sniper.

[bonfire]

Shouldn't laugh, but that post was darn funny! Chinese fire drill.......hilarious.

Ok, back to being serious

[mewzilla]

Jeez, if that's the case why don't they just issue a press release?

[aristeides]

But that also means that we're dealing with something massive in potential scope

Don't we have enough money to buy up all the effective mercenaries on the market?

[mhking]

Wonder what stupid human trick the shooter has requested now?

I'd be willing to bet that it's more routine: "Ballistics shows that this is from...yadayadayada..."

[LisaFab]

Worse, I had it on during one of my kids birthday parties! "LOL

LOL! One of the great days in American History!

[rintense]

True. True.

[MTCJK]

The Question is: When Will They Tell The People The Unbearable Truth?

Well, they won't be using the eloquence of Moose to voice it, poor guy

[mhking]

Don't we have enough money to buy up all the effective mercenaries on the market?

How much does it cost to buy off the Devil?

[mewzilla]

FWIW, I think another dog-and-pony show to state the obvious is a big mistake.

"Has anyone considered Halloween?

We don't live in the area, but we quit Halloween years ago--under normal circumstances, putting kids out on the streets after dark to take candy from who-knows-who is not what we consider a "healthy" practice. I know many kids look forward to it, but there are alternatives. (don't we tell our kids never to take candy from strangers???)
