2. OK, this one was harmless, but imagine what might have happened
had city workers in Spokane ignored the backpack sitting on a bench:

4. My freeper cubby mate was talking about this and said that
he's heard warnings that 'terrorists' are also going to hit EZpass at toll booths. Maybe I'm living in a different world than him, but I haven't heard anything of the sort. Of course, he's also the wingun-nut who was just saying this morning that Gifford's miraculous recovery just goes to prove that Dems have parts of their brains that don't do anything.

I am SOOOOO looking forward to retiring, but not for 5+ years (if we can swing it). That'll probably be my only chance to change where I sit, so I'm thinking I'm stuck next to this guy for however long it takes. My earphones are my sanity savers. :(

5. I hear ya...I just had to listen to my local Texan co-worker's
Edited on Wed Jan-19-11 03:23 PM by MindPilot
never-ending diatribe about how Texas is a paradise because everyone has guns. (unlike the marxist, liberal, gay, communist, and completely pussified state of California) His latest was a fantasy about how he wants to take his truck down to Chicano Park and drive over Mexicans.

But we're the ones who have to "tone it down..."

Frankly I'm a little surprised that I haven't heard anyone on the right comparing Gabriel Giffords with Teri Shaivo.
