Ok, everyone here is freaking out about the 22nd. Something is supposed to happen. I know I'm not leaving my house, I wouldn't if I were you either Cushca.

Sounds like a movie. "Servicing Eddie".

I think that's because they found some suspected terrorists had tickets to a flight on the 22nd. But that flight was cancelled.

Ha ha. All of the sentences got mashed together, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But the part about the tile stuff totally happened that way.

But you can see in that article how tom talks to me mean sometimes. He said Come on Suzanne its your house too - he yelled at me one time because I didn't want to work. When we were renovating, it had been like 100 degrees all summer, I was on the brink. That fat bastard threw a huge piece of wall down the stairs and he nearly decapitated me so I started screaming and crying - really laying on thick because I had tears running down - screaming so I made him feel really bad and I got him back for being so mean all summer.

The funny thing is I did the same thing, but I was the tile guy and the guy who had to rip out the floor unexpectedly.

They say the heat does that. I think is admissible, careful.

Congress is now reviving a proposal killed last year by Senator Phil Gramm, the Texas Republican who was then chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. The bill, introduced by the Clinton administration, would give the Treasury secretary broad power to bar foreign countries and banks from access to the American financial market unless they cooperated with money-laundering investigations. It was strongly opposed by the banking industry and Mr. Gramm. "I was right then and I am right now" in opposing the bill, Mr. Gramm said yesterday. He called the bill "totalitarian" and added, "The way to deal with terrorists is to hunt them down and kill them."

They don't seem to be the most loyal fellows. The radicals, I mean. We tried to buy their love when we gave them all that dough and weapons to help them get the Soviets out of their country. But that sort of backfired didn't it?

They say we used them to help us strike a blow to the dirty, dirty commies. We say they used us to help them liberate their country. Both are right, I suppose.

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation suspended an Arab doctor for 'inapproprite behavior'. According to other Cleveland Clinic staff members, several doctors of 'obvious Mid-East origins' were witnessed cheering upon news of the terrorist events of last week.

Hey now! I only read certain sections of the Sunday Times and some of the editorials during the week - I get most of my news from the Drudgereport, which is super conservative.

I used to love the NYT's. Then I found out several of their articels were piles of crap. Either the so-called journaist was dumb as rock, or they've left out key pieces of the puzzle that would have turned the intent of the article a hundred and eighty degrees making the truth about the subject useless the the 'journalists' point of view. I can understand once, but a few times. Then the paper never even retracts the articles or corrects their mistakes. It's pretty apparent they do it on purpose. Lie to me once, shame on you. Lie to me plenty of times, shame on me. I only need to get bitten once before I figure out that maybe sticking my hand inside the cage isn't such a good idea.

O do read the National Review. That and the American Spectator. Wall Street Journal has a great editorial section. My local paper is also good.
