How much money was spent on overtime due to phony
terror alerts? How many law enforcement people had leave canceled? How many people wasted valuable time or missed planes because of "orange alert" security?

Within hours of Jeb Bush's daughter being arrested on drug charges the terror alert level was raised to orange and the story disappeared. I said Uncle George was fixing things then and I believe it even more today although this one is not commented on much.

Fuck Republicans one and all.

1. Jeb and drug traffic.... who knew????
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x1328855

Why did Jeb Bush and federal agents seize records from Huffman Aviation - Florida flight school of Mohammed Atta, and other 9/11 hijackers - in the middle of the night following the attacks of September 11th and load them onto a C-130? And why did Jeb Bush know, hours after the attack, where to look?

"Whatever secrets Dekkers may possess about the terrorists, records from his flight school were deemed sensitive enough to have merited being escorted back to Washington by Florida Governor Jeb Bush aboard a C-130 cargo plane, which left Sarasota less than 24 hours after the September 11 attack."

2. Amen, amen, K&R, amen ..................
And to make it even suckier than we knew it was when it was going on, NOTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

That's the fucking insane part of it - the nitwits will continue to go batshit because Obama is going to pass legislation that will kill Grandma, but it's OK to fake government actions in the interests of winning an election.

If Tom Ridge had had balls or a spine or a smidgen of integrity, he'd have gone public with this immediately, and he could have changed the course of history.

What would our country be like today if he'd done that? If Colin Powell had done the right thing, too?

How many dead Americans, Iraqs, would be alive today?

Fuck them all, absolutely. Let them burn............

3. The more I think about this the madder I get. Here's a video
recomendation for you-"Cadillac Records" loosely based on Chess records in the '50s and 60's. They must have rented every cherry vintage Cadillac in the country to make that movie. We watched it last night-as soon as it came from NetFlix and throughly enjoyed it. I can't understand why it did so poorly in theaters.

Trailer here:

6. Oooh, mentioning the cost makes cents - whisper wallet and you have a pubs attention
My friend, that idea coupled with Tommy Ridge's admissions might just break through the republican haze and enlighten a few sheeple. Great approach!

8. How much plastic and duct tape was bought? How much mental anguish?

That's the worst part - Bushco made many Americans believe we might be attacked at any moment, all for political benefit. OUR GOVERNMENT TERRORIZED US.
