Anyone else notice that we have not had a heightened terror alert
since October 2004. Hmmm...maybe that wiretapping stuff really does work!!!

Bet we have one just after Labor Day this year and again in Late October. OBL loves to torment just before elections ya know.

:sarcasm:

2. it's too early to introduce "new products"
Give them time... the Crime Family is in a corner, and I'm sure they are looking at ways to get out of it

3. they want to blame the previous ones on Ridge
and they couldn't do that very easily if they kept spiking the chart, could they? Ridge has said publicly that they insisted on raising them even when he objected. That is one of the reasons he left when he did.

8. Little Lord Pissypants must be having a fit at the White house tonight!
Things aren't going so well. No bounce from the SOTU. The polls show most of America doesn't approve. And he was humiliated at a funeral. Nobody is terrified at the revelation of the LA terror attempt, and many suspect it didn't even happen.

You can only have so many coincidences before people stop believing you.

I think the excuse box at the Bush White House is close to empty.

9. Now here is the big question
Do the Dems call Bullshit if it happens in October?

I think it would probably be worth the risk of being called soft on Terror.

11. The button got broken from hitting it too many times
You can only bang those things so often before they get jammed. Now how the hell are we supposed to know what the current threat level is? Fuscha? Turquoise?
