Sharks prelude ???
Anyone remember what we were all talking about just before 9-11-2001?

Bush's polls were at like 39% and going down. It was your normal summer news... not much going on... cept SHARK ATTACKS!!!

http://www.time.com/time/2001/sharks/cover.html

http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/08/19/shark.attack/

There you go. Turn on the news right now... shark attacks in Florida.

There is no court case to distract us from a war that is causing polls to drop.

Prepare for all hell to break loose.

1. I thought of that the other day
Oh, wouldn't something like 9/11 just blow the fuck out of Ratface's contention that he's been keeping America safe?

I guess, if something awful like that happened, Ratface would have to retract his comments about all the American deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan having been worth it, huh?

We live ten minutes from the Pentagon, fifteen from the White House. If the Big One hits, you won't be hearing from OldLeftieLawyer anymore. But, you won't be hearing from Ratface, either.

It's a sacrifice I'm willing to endure.

10. It would not blow him out of the water on keeping America safe.....
We have been attacked a couple of times but it has been severely downplayed and his media lapdogs have not really reported it. One instance would be that time when the British consulate, in NY, was attacked. Whether the people were attacking the Brits or not, it happened on our soil. That was a terrorist action, my friend, and I throw that in pube's faces when they say how safe they are!
