1. Right when network evening news starts

What a coincidence. Wonder if they'll mention it.

CBS is currently covering the chopper down in Afghanistan.

3. airspace violation again

and it now says a "brief" evacuation. Wonder if it was a Piper Cub, a balloon, or maybe a kite this time.

25. Look over there, never mind

Don't planes have to file flight plans anymore? Or are the ATC's so incompetent that they don't pay any attention to what aircraft is taking off from their fields.

could they be any more transparent?

poll numbers down ..... speech last night to reinforce "commitment" to fighting "terrorism" ...... and now, just in time to control the evening news broadcasts, a big evacuation.

the peculiar timing of it is the most nauseating part.

20. Small Plane

At 6:18 a small plane came within 10 miles of the Capitol. Fighter planes were scrambled and the plane was diverted to the Winchester Airport.

Then they went back inside.

23. Actually I wonder if this is a red herring to distract us...

...(and especially the MSM) from the two Iraqis who were trying to sneak into the U.S. but were busted by the Mexican border guards this afternoon. (The story on the Iraqis is below; scroll down.)

32. I was actually watching the Senate on C-SPAN

when they evacuated. It was pretty weird watching as it happened. I figured right away it was either a bomb scare or another plane gone astray. ABC World News Tonight didn't even mention it when it started right after the evacuation.
