4. I for one appreciate anyone who has the intestinal fortitude...
To watch and report... I can't stomach it myself, but I'm damn curious a lot of the time.

28. Know Thine Enemy...
You can't wage war, in this case an informational war, if you don't keep your eyes on what your enemy is doing.

And another thought on informational wars: There are those on the Right that would malign, badger and generally bad-mouth their "opponents". I think this stinks out loud. And further, when I see those of us on the Left doing the same, the stench is all the more vile. I have no problem with reiteration of FACTS, or simply saying, "This is not true," then telling the truth of the matter. But to bring the conversation to the low level from which it emanated, is just plain wrong. Pretty disgusting.

2. Of course they did...
I wouldn't be surprised to find they are paid a hefty sum for every time they manage to work in certain talking points.

5. It is terror.
Just not the kind they want to market. Terrorism of being in a flood zone when a levee breaks or on a bridge when it collapses is no less a cause of terror has a bomb going off.

19. that was my first thought as well
I've got to wonder - is this Coleman's area? The guy Al Franken is running against?

I wonder how many cuts they've made in repairing the infrastructure of the roads? Or perhaps contracts going to cronies?

8. I'm watching
MSNBC and Fox at the same time. I'm waiting for Fox to say, "Witnesses say they saw a Muslim doctor, posing as a pizza delivery guy, carrying backyard propane bottles, driving a Jeep that burns for like 4 days."

9. I'm not saying it's terror or not but one witness on Fox 9 was...
...quoted as saying that she saw things "blowing out" or "exploding" just prior to the bridge collapsing. Also that other drivers saw the explosions and tried desperately to do something but there was little they could.

Witnesses said explosion looked like "car parts" or "bits of metal".

This is from the Fox 9 reporter on the scene right now, btw.

16. Just reporting what the witnesses said. A new person on camera now...
...is being interviewed (FOX 9). Seems that people didn't quite realize the bridge was collapsing until they started to see things suspended in air that shouldn't be- like bridge workers, cars, etc. She's being interviewed live right now.

15. I'm going with
Al Fukba, that's the group that takes tax dollars that could be used for highway improvement and re-routs them to people like Blackwater and Haliburton so they can fight an illegal war.

25. Oh for the love of God
if Bushco, excuse me, I mean terra-ists were going to hit something around here it would be the Mall of America or maybe the airport.

The only terrorists involved in this is the Minnesota Taxpayers League (also known as the tax evaders league) with their insane pressure on the legislature to cut, cut, cut taxes no matter who gets hurt.
