[Terriergal]

All in all a warm loving looking bunch don't you think?

[Lobbyist]

Toothpaste, deodorant,birth control....

[alisasny]

CNN and MSNBC are both saying things like "WHEW - glad this is over", etc. - as if the whole thing is supposed to be out of our minds, now. (I'm paraphrasing, of course)

Media just realised that the election is in 12 days and they have a lot of work to do. THey are not going to realise that they spent way to much effort profiling this case...NOT A PRETTY MORNING IN THE NEWS ROOMS...

[Terriergal]

Hey that sounds like a plan! I have a craving for some venison meatballs but... that's too much work.

[HairOfTheDog]

Moose wouldn't have given the message after Williams was caught. We don't usually send messages for people in jail to the media. ;~D

Last night was his last chance to get messages out... but I am not sure he knew that!

[MasonGal]

I don't think we get Glenn Beck here in the Louisville/southern IN area.

[alisasny]

Why skin color matters..

Because the media made it matter by profiling this as a potential white person all along.

I really can not recall hearing once that the perp may even be black. Now its 2 black men who seem to practice Islam. Yet for weeks we have been hearing about rednecks and neo-nazi's, hispanics ect....

[mondonico]

Williams pic from SKY news.

You mean Mohammed pic....

[yukong]

Just the type of friendly, loving/ personable type that every father would love to see their daughter's bring home for dinner.

[Terriergal]

What the H do they need birth control for?

[pitinkie]

I heard it was a girlfriend

[Darnright]

Yeah, I am not that great posting photos. I hope someone will put the two up side by side.

On another note. I remember watching the Million Man March and getting majorly weirded out by the cold hard expressions of Farrakan's guards. Those are some stone cold dudes.

[ARA]

What's he saying?

[Lobbyist]

I was joking. Sorry.

[Freedom2specul8]

Foxnews is now not using the word largely.. Hmmm

[Terriergal]

heh heh... hey... we need to come up with an Islamic version of "ten rules for dating my daughter." Anyone game?

[chriservative]

Not necessarily an arrest. I am 24 years old and specifically remember being fingerprinted by local police in the first grade under the auspices of identification purposes for kidnappings, gross disfigurement, etc. If Malvo is not a U.S. citizen, however, then most likely it was from arrest.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, he'd be right if the license plate was gleened off the scanner and not really released.... But didn't Moose read it as part of the press conference last night?

[mystery-ak]

He sounds like he was a loser and the Army booted him out...17 years and a PFC...my son went in as a PFC!....

[hispanarepublicana]

I think the message was really "Duck duck...Goose!"

It's from a Cherokee parable about a boastful rabbit who wants the otter to think he can catch fish as good as the otter. The otter says, I can catch duck too, and the rabbit claims to be able to catch ducks as well. The rabbit makes a noose and puts a duck in the noose. The duck flies off, dragging the rabbit along. The rabbit ends up falling into a tree stump and getting stuck where he has to resort to eating his own fur (as starving rabbits often do).
