Edited on Mon Jan-03-05 09:19 AM by Brundle_Fly
"Coming up on CNN,
Speculation of Bin Laden's possible plans, are american school children his next target, up next on man thinks so...possibly"

Bill Hemmer, 2 mins ago.

Translates...
we'll speculate on the hypothesis of some guy, who thinks something is possible.

1. More fear mongering from CNN
turn off that shit...should be everyone's new year's resolution, except during times of emergency, when the network is forced to report fact rather than their opinion as fact, which is their SOP.

5. Speaking of fear mongering....
FX last night ran a horrible show - SmallPox. It was done 'documentary' style, but was fiction. Anybody see it? Showing all the thousands dead, Apocalypse style. Had to turn it off, it was really bad.

11. UPDATE: That's exactly what they did!!!
My subject: "Tsunami children = Bin Laden children?" was written as a joke, before they went to commercial break. Then they came back and did EXACTLY THAT.

7. What a perfect story to have on TV while getting the kids ready for school
I can see it now.

What to do if Osama comes to your school and how to stop him:

- Make sure any dark-haired, dark skinned cafetaria workers get arrested

- Turn in any dark-haired, dark skinned students to the teacher

- If a kid has funny sounding Middle Eastern music on his/her MP3 player, turn them in

- When you see a flash in the sky, duck and cover! Duck and cover!

13. Have you seen the new Homeland Security commercials?
Lots of pics of kids, and "do you have an action plan in place for a terrorist attack?" "What would you do if there was an attack while your kids were at school or day care?"

gotta keep that fear ratcheted up.

9. They wouldn't have to speculate about bin Laden's plans if ...
they had been doing their job and telling the truth about Bush. We might have gone after bin Laden if the press had questioned Bush's reasons for going after Saddam.
