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

[freeperfromnj]

And remember that that cartoon appeared on Oct. 1, the day before the sniping spree started in earnest.

I do recall that there was interesting discussion on that. I can't find the thread with the picture. I've been searching on and off for a while now.

"...or in some cases home wrecking shows..."

You must be referring to some of Hildy's more "creative" designs.

[js1138]

You have any links???

[CPL BAUM]

PArt of the threat may be, if a BOLO is made public, other cells go into action. ?? Maybe?

ET(end tyranny) - I respectfully submit the following reality check: If other undetected cells exist in this country, they ARE going to go active. Period. I don't subscribe to the belief that we can or should negotiate with any type of terrorist. The only way to defeat terrorism - in whatever form - is to root it out and destroy is through the use of an active and aware citizenry. I also firmy believe that if LE had released all the information they are sitting on - photos, sketches, tarrot cards, handwriting samples - EVERYTHING - this worthless scum of the earth would be sitting in jail (or better yet, dead) and maybe, just MAYBE some of the victims would be sitting down to dinner with their families tonight.

I thought they were still trying to program the cell phone's phone book.

[valleygal]

Wolf Blitzer said "killers"? I thought a CNN memo said the newsies are supposed to be using more slang in their new reports.

[antidisestablishment]

I like a good TNT and I have a a great wife. Does that count?

[rintense]

2 minute warning!

[American72]

2 minute warning on the press conference?

[rintense]

Moose is loose in 2 minutes!!!

[Dog]

Fox.....no questions will be allowed.

[rintense]

Yep. Moose is on in 2 minutes.

[LisaFab]

They are still translating the Arabic message into english

From your lips to God!

[Howlin]

Another "message" then.

[rintense]

Oh geez. This can't be good. Must be another attempt at appeasing the sniper.

[hispanarepublicana]

Wolf Blitzer said "killers"?

I thought CNN Policy was to say, "alleged euthanasia enthusiasts"

[Dog]

My guess also..

[lizma]

This one hits home since we live in the area and have small kids.

Me too. A million to one are OK risks for my husband and me but NOT for my kids.

My kids went to school today. Very few children at their school stayed home. Spent a big chunk of the day at school helping out along with several other parents. Everyone, including the teachers, is starting to look a bit haggard. I guess walking around feeling nauseated will do that to ya.
