Terror Alerts: Coinciding with bad Bush news or good Kerry news?

[Roland99]

Is there a website that tracks the dates of the "terror alerts" that have been issued this year?

And maybe also shows what types of news were reported in those timeframes and whether the news was good/bad for Bush?

3. I've seen charts concerning this

4. I pick 1 from column A & 1 from column B.

Just wonder what/when it will be after Friday Nite?

We should have a friendly wager.

I say by the end of the weekend - just in time for the Monday cycle.
