The Bush Administration Wants Your Almanacs

The lunatics in the Bush Administration have gone right over the edge



Washington -- Amid heightened indications that al Qaeda operatives may
be planning catastrophic attacks in the United States, the FBI is
warning police about a new potential tool for terrorism: almanacs.

An FBI intelligence bulletin sent to law enforcement agencies last week
warned that "terrorist operatives may rely on almanacs to assist with
target selection and pre-operational planning" because they include
detailed information on bridges, tunnels and other U.S. landmarks,
officials said.

Although noting that "the use of almanacs or maps may be the product of
legitimate recreational or commercial activities," the bulletin urged
police to watch for suspects carrying almanacs, especially if the books
include suspicious notations or marks, because "the practice of
researching potential targets is consistent with known methods of al
Qaeda and other terrorist organizations."

The warning came as a surprise to purveyors of almanacs, which range
from statistical tomes listing the tallest buildings and the longest
bridges to folksy journals including planetary charts and apple pie recipes.

"Our almanac is about as far away as you can get from terrorism and
about as close as you can get to what you would think of as Americana,"
said Peter Geiger, editor of the Farmers' Almanac, a 185-year-old
compendium of weather predictions, cleaning tips and other advice.

I plan to carry an almanac with me from now on...

And I'm going to underline all sorts of passages.

WTF - another Harry-twisting of nonstory...

Lets call the subject "The Bush Administration Wants Your Almanacs"
then post a story, (probably copyrighted) with no attribution , that
says absolutely nothing about the government wanting to take almanacs.

And nobody has said that possessing an almanac proves you're a
terrorist.

Of course if someone with a higlighted almanac had blown up a landmark
building landmark building, bridge, or dam last week, you would have
been screaming about how the Bush admisitration's justice department
overlooked obvious evidence.

Harry, I know you don't believe your own bull****, why should the rest
of us?

You and Harry went to the same seminar? You take quite a leap going
from Harry's bull**** to a police state.

I'll assume that you share political positions with Harry (I hesitate
to call them political "beliefs" as I don't think he really believes
in them). And from there I would guess that you are not really
concerned about the existance of a police state, but rather you hate
that "your side" isn't running it at the moment.

If you've read any of Rick's responses you'd probably not be so quick to
judge him a partisan. Seems like his opinions are pretty well founded
and reasonably earned.

I wish you were still a virgin Dennis. Unfortunately, I think you've
already procreated. Let's just hope they have as healthy a disdain for
you as the rest of us.

Hairball Harry.

All Hail BushGod! All Hail Homeland Security (color codes and all!)
All Hail The Patriot Act. Now get in line and goose-step with the rest
of the republicans.


Yeah, really. We've moving towards fascism at an alarming pace.
The United States of America is becoming what it used to fear.

Oh...and I ordered a New York Times 2004 Almanac. If you're going to
make the Republican dipsticks nervous, you might as well do it with elan.

Don't worry about the almanac carriers.

The most effective defense against them is obvious and rather simple.

Seal yourself up in your bathroom using visqueen and duct tape.

Ahh, yes...the previous way to safeguard yourself, courtesy of the
dimwits in the Bush Administration.

Forgot about that one...thanks...

Now I would never suggest such a thing, but some here may ask as your New
Years gift to them that you and Harry try a plastic garbage bag around your
heads, sealed with duct tape, at the stroke of midnight. Again, it is not
my suggestion to you, but some may argue that it could be a quick solution
to stop your constant whining.

Another right-wing sock puppet.

Tell us, Jim: have you ever in your life had an original clever or witty
thought and been able to express it?

Naw, too difficult.

There's three or four of you neoConvicts pretty much tied for the
dumbest posters in rec.boats. The list certainly includes Wally. You're
on it. And there are one or two other FLEEGs with a place of honor.

Next time brains are on sale at your local Food Lion, Jim, go get
yourself some. The species doesn't matter in your case.
