    some Democratic election worker probably left their PBS mug on 'that funny looking cup holder' in the computer.

    -------------------------

    Caller: "Hello, is this Tech Support?"

    Tech Rep: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?"

    Caller: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?"

    Tech Rep: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?"

    Caller: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer."

    Tech Rep: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?"

    Caller: "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotional. It just has '24X' on it."

    At some point, the media will have to start comparing what these two did and the captured Al Qaeda tapes:

    Random civlian assasinations: check
    Golf course assasination: check, although they skipped the RPG
    Use of mobile shooting platform: check

    see: this thread

    An al-Qaida training videotape, captured in Afghanistan, shows Osama bin Laden's terrorists are not only planning attacks with weapons of mass destruction but are preparing to kill Americans with drive-by shootings and home break-ins, through ambushes of law-enforcement officers and targeted assassinations on golf courses, WorldNetDaily has learned.

    using pickup trucks with shooters concealed in the bed of the trucks; using motorcycles as a shooting platform for drive-bys and assassinations; execution of prisoners; ambushes of law-enforcement officers; residential assassinations; assassination on a golf course using a rocket-propelled grenade and rifle fire; drive-up kidnapping of target walking on a street; use of tunnels, storm drains and sewers for infiltration during urban raids; rappelling from rooftops of buildings to make entry on upper floors; use of motorcycles for grenade attacks; and raids on buildings with large numbers of occupants – perhaps schools or office buildings. Analysts point out that all scenarios involving prisoners and hostages ended in execution.

    "Pulsing the system" is a well-known intelligence process in which, for example, planes deliberately fly over enemy radar installations in order to determine what frequencies they use and how they are arranged.

    But I thought Cuba was our 'special friend' now and we were going to get rid of that nasty ol' embargo, etc. etc. /sarcasm

    We know Castro is/has/continues developing bio-weapons, etc. Sponsoring revolutionary movements across Latin America. Supporting Marxist candidates, etc. etc. but free trade is supposed to make him see the light? b.s.

    And this from WP, excerpts only

    15 Men Held in Italy Face Terror Charges Based on U.S. Tip (Terrorists pulled off freighter Aug 5, near Sicily)

    I checked the itinerary of the Newark freighter, which was in/near Hong Kong that day. But this is still unsettling. This was after the warning about stowaways, correct?

    Something else I thought of. What if the terrorists pulled of the first freighter were the advance crew for whatever's on this one? Did we get the tip from that arrest?

    _________________________

    Following a tip from U.S. naval intelligence officers, Italian authorities last month seized a ship carrying 15 suspected terrorists off the island of Sicily, Italian officials said today. The men, identified by Italian authorities as Pakistanis, were charged today with "association" to commit terrorist acts.

    "We are certain that these people are part of a terrorist organization and we are almost certain that the organization is al Qaeda," said Santi Giuffre, police chief of Caltanissetta, where the group is being held."

    "Officials here said the decision to board the ship last month was made on the basis of a U.S. government tip. Police and members of SISMI, Italy's military intelligence service, boarded the vessel in Italian waters off Sicily and found the 15 suspects along with seven Romanian crew members. The Italians confiscated telephone numbers, messages that had been encoded and Karachi-Casablanca air tickets."

    A U.S. Navy representative present at the news conference, Samuel Worth, told reporters that the coded reference to marriage was especially worrisome. "We are alarmed," he said, "because it's a word that was intercepted during the first attack on the twin towers, in 1993. It is one of the elements that induced us to intervene."

    What does Schumer know about that freighter off Newark that we don't? Or am I misreading what I would normally take as garden-variety political opportunism?
