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. -- Email sent to is never read. |

I dunno, Harry. If I were a cop and I already had an odd feeling about
someone, every possible additional clue might be useful. |

If, so, they have had one more victory and you've lost nothing but your soul. Happy New Year. |

It stands for Flat-Line EEG, or FLEEG. If you have a flat-line EEG, you are brain-dead. There are several FLEEGs in this newsgroup.

If you are suggesting that I should be reading all of the political crap in this newsgroup prior to making assumptions - no thanks. I admit to being embarrased for even looking at a fraction of it. Of course I have opinions about you. They come from reading some of the crap.

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?

Sometime in the past few days, the Doonesbury comic strip reran a concept introduced last summer. Pretty funny. Reporters are asking questions at a White House news conference. They ask about Medicaid or some such thing, and the answer from the podium is "9/11". They ask about taxes, and the answer is "9/11". Finally, one of them asks if that's going to be the answer to ALL questions. The response is "9/11, 24/7". :-) Robots! They were fascinating in the 1950s when they were the stuff of sci fi fantasy.
