29. Possible terror threat closes Calif. port

PORT HUENEME, Calif. - Port Hueneme in Ventura County was closed off Monday afternoon while authorities investigated a possible terrorist threat on a cargo ship, a port official said.

The action came just before noon after a dockworker discovered a possible threat written in the cargo hold of a ship carrying bananas from Guatemala, said Will Berg, the port's marketing director.

There was some discrepancy in the exact phrasing of the message.

Berg said it read: "This nitro is for you Mr. George W. Bush and your Jewish cronies."

Federal authorities said it was written in English and read: "Nitro + glycerin my gift for G. W. Bush and his Jewish gang."

31. How to defend yourself against a banana:

Sgt.:
We haven't done them, have we? Right. Bananas. How to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. Now you, come at me with this banana. Catch! Now, it's quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him 'elpless.

Palin:
Suppose he's got a bunch.

Sgt.:
Shut up.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:rofl::

[stlsaxman]

37. So he comes at the guy with the banana.... and he-

takes out a gun and shoots him!

:rofl:

great skit!

[davekriss]

36. I sure hope the American people...

...aren't falling for it this time.

Bush low in the polls, facing weak threats from Congress for his various illegal and unconstitutional activities, and an election coming up in a few months where, if Democrats win control, means intense public scrutiny for Bush, something he fears and cannot allow. So into this state of affairs we get the Miami 7 (how Gonzo Gonzales could announce those arrests with a straight face is beyond me), we get a "suspicious package" closing the Philadelphia airport (which of course amounted to nothing), and now a "suspicious note" in a bunch of bananas closes an American port.

Hold your breath because the stink will only rise between now and November. I only hope they don't stoop to another LIHOP/MIHOP.

39. There's a couple of Naval bases right there

why didn't the news mention that ? Unless they've been Brac'd, I just found the whole coverage of this incident to be bizzarro.

My boys were born on the Port Hueneme seabee base, for the longest time they thought they were from Hawaii :D

Daylight come and we want to go home
