do you remember what i said shortly after 9/11? that if we’d really been under “attach”, the terr’ists would have continued with their bombardment? setting off car and ryder truck bombs made of fertilizer, kerosene, westclox alarm clocks, and nine volt batteries at every major highway interchange, train crossing, bus depot, wal-mart shopping center and strip mall in america?

that they didn’t, and haven’t in over five years, isn’t the testamony of the quality of our intel or law inforcement that the hawks would like to believe, or have us believe, but a testamony to the fact that there is no terror to war upon. there is no “war on terror”, only a war on our wallets, and our personal freedoms. for example, of all the shoe less joes wandering through airport security, how many explosives have been found in the jimmy choos, the floresheims, the reebox?

yeah, i thought so.

this nation has a really nasty habit, reflected in some of the statements made by my mother and FOXNews recently, of taking a single incident and making it an epidemic. thus destroying the very definition of “epidemic”.

so mom? you’re eternal. your insanity is now on TTP! congratulations. have another martini.
