Anyone else feeling like they're waiting for the other shoe to drop?

All I want for Christmas is Democracy!

YES, if we see code orange, you bet we're getting close. How ironic that it's orange. :)

8. Ever since Tom Ridge's resignation
We've seen nothing about our current state of alert! LOL!

Yes, I am very impatient for something to happen soon!!
I'm hoping that Kerry will hold a press conf any day now!

23. Randi Rhodes said that Kerry's name was on the list of people who attended
yesterday's hearings in Ohio with Conyers. Is that true? Did anyone see any real footage from those Hearings (aside from the Clint C. testimony)? If Kerry was there, I'd like to see his reactions to much of what was presented.

9. LOL! I guess it is!
Haven't paid attention to it for quite some time now...the drumbeat to the next terror attach prior to Nov 2 became a bit too much and I lost track.

Guess I should edit that to a code red. *holds head in shame*

10. Awww it's ok
I didn't know it was at orange either, but that's even more appropriate. :) Orange is a gooood color.

13. Yes and no
He isn't leaving, if that's what you're waiting for. Not unless, like Will Pitt suggested, some god of justice swoops down and magically induces justice on earth.
But my other sense says, why would Kerry ever want to tackle the mess Bush has created. Obviously he would want to alleviate the horror, but otherwise why even go near it. Plus I think he knows or has even been threatened, to stay away.

I am as stubborn as they get, and I'm still waiting for something, in my heart of hearts. I'll be waiting even after he is sworn in. I'll be waiting for something that unseats him. Or worse.

14. It's hard not to hope
But it's hard to at the same time. The truth about Gore came out (albeit after Bush was inaugurated and a day after 9/11). This time we expected dirty tricks and we're handier with the net, and a lot more are on it. Makes me think MAYBE this could come out BEFORE this inauguration.

17. To solve a problem you first must identify it
IT has not even become apparent to most people (thanks, MSM)
If you can't see it you can't identify it.


Does a shoe dropping in an empty room make a sound?

20. A Thought
Perhaps after the inauguration Cheney would like to blow the whistle so that he can play president.

Some might argue that Cheney already is the president, in a shadowy sort of way, but maybe he would like the title, too.

Oh, well... That's what I get for thinking. :eyes:
