Single What? Female...

like a big game of telephone...

A Vermont woman's claustrophobic freak-out on a flight from London to DC went from just that to "SHE HAS A SCREWDRIVER AND VASELINE!"

And it's still a bit sketchy from her trying to get notes to the cockpit to her walking up and down the aisles muttering "Pakistan" over and over.

What was scary though, was that a woman on that flight, and Australian citizen, was caught speaking Arabic on a phone call and hence was taken off the plane and questioned. She apparently was just freaking about the Vermont woman but it shows what we've come to as a nation with the practice of FEAR!!! being produced by the White House and CNN (see last night's-in particular though they've mentioned this before about CNN-Daily Show). CNN actually had the nerve to have a full day of stories called "TARGET: USA" yet with the "FEAR MUSIC" had a tagline of "Just the facts. Not fear" Oh they are just on crack thinking that that isn't raising the blood pressure and anxiety of all their viewers.

WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!! but...not really..it's cool...

IN THE MEANTIME...the GOP puts its foot in its mouth AGAIN. Or at least Republican Senator George Allen did...and it's on YouTube...and www.colorchange.org has a little more on the senator's history and appreciation of the Confederate flag. Yep, these are the boneheads leading our country folks...feel free to send him a little note, eh?

AND AND AND...this just in! Did ya hear Dick Cheney grumbling? it's not just about "al Quaeda candidates"...it's the judge that said "Yeah, that warrantless surveillance program IS unconstitutional and messes with the seperation of powers" They didn't dig unlawful eavesdropping the first time you worked at the White House, Dick...

and of course the Justice Dept (under the fist of Dick Cheney) is appealing the ruling...

In happier news, last check, the Yankees were down 12-2 against the Orioles this afternoon. woo hoo! :)

Peace --Alex
