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.


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.

Tell us, Jim: have you ever in your life had a thought and been able to

Naw, too difficult.

Tell us, Jim, have you ever in your life had a thought?

Can you prove it?


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.

Well let's see how long it takes for the herd of right wingers who have blasted
HK for wishing other posters dead to even comment on your veiled suggestion
that NG members you disagree with should commit suicide.

I won't hold my breath. For you, or waiting for them.

How frigin sad for you, by the way. The duct tape and visqueen comment was
humorous in this context. Are you so filled with political hatred that you must
define any comment not 100% pro-Bush as "whining"? Has the message of hate
radio supplanted the voice of your own conscience? If, so, they have had one
more victory and you've lost nothing but your soul. Happy New Year.

Now THAT sounds like suspicious activity that should be reported to the
block granny.

What are you hiding behind that curtain, Gould? Real patriots don't need
privacy. Only those who fear the benevolent oversight of the State need
hide their activities.

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?

I have snipped the rest of your out of context crap. Showing me a
dozen one liners from news articles does notback up your implication
that FBI is going to kick down anyone's door to see if they have
almanac on the coffee table. supporting your point. Even your
careful placing of ellipses doesn't seem to help you. "Drop the
almanac and put your hands up!" A catchy bull**** headline... of
course reading the articles will reveal that possessing an almanac
will hardly draw black helicopters to your rooftop.

How about this from Associated Press -

.... [The FBI] urged [police] officers to watch during searches,
traffic stops and other investigations for anyone carrying almanacs,
especially if the books are annotated in suspicious ways ...

....The FBI noted that use of almanacs or maps may be innocent, "the
product of legitimate recreational or commercial activities." But it
warned that when combined with suspicious behavior — such as apparent
surveillance — a person with an almanac "may point to possible
terrorist planning."...

Exactly what part of this says that possessing an almanac will mean
that the FBI assumes you are a terrorist? You're full of **** Harry.
You know it. If I am to believe some of the things you have said in
the past, I assume you've made at least part of your living shoveling
bull****.

This is Grade A Choice stuff ... vintage hobnail boots and black leather
overcoats.

Lets see, the guy was seen standing looking for an extended period at an
important government building. He was carrying a map, marked with the
locations of nearby subway stations. He also carried an almanac that
listed the times and dates of events at that building.

That sure sounds like a spread eagled in the gutter at the barrel of a
submaching gun offense to you guys doesn't it? That should give a
federal Barney Fife the thrill of his career.

How about the guy was just one of ten thousand tourists in DC who
managed to figure out the Metro system and was checking out the times
the Smithsonian was open?

You guys are the scary ones here ... this idea should have died of
laughter in the bar or bombshelter where it originated.
