but the National Weather Service said
the closest lightning strike in the area was hundreds of miles away,
in Maryland.

But....the president repeated that rumor. It must be true. The lightning
was
purchased secretly on the international arms market. From Africa.


In the unlikely event that it *was* a terrorist attack, we'd be smart to
blame
it on lightning. Take away the credit for the disaster, and the air is let
out
of the terrorist balloon double quick.

You want to P off the terrorists? Make sure they stay out of the news.

That would be smart but it certainly wouldn't be the course this
administration would take. You can be certain if there was a whiff of
possibility this could've been attributable to human hands, the White House
would've used the opportunity to bolster poll numbers.

Then kudos to the White House. They have either made the "smart" move
and denied terrorists any publicity, or they have refrained from using
the incident for political gain.

(Unlike politicians such as Mrs. Clinton, who, before the lights even
came back on, was crying out about how this was the Bush
administration's fault.)

The sky is not falling Chuck. It must be tough living in your shoes.

Never said the sky was falling.

Your comment came through my server in bold type. Huge font. Yelling won't make
you seem any smarter (than however smart you already appear to be).

You sure do like to cut a sentence or two out of a post and try to make that
the whole issue. I was wondering who'd step up to the plate to take Skipper's
place, now that he seems to be MIA. Moving to Kansas soon?

I can't help it if you are having problems with your server. There was no bold type or
huge fonts Chuckie, so stop being so paranoid.

I am curious though....do you see black helicopters following you all the time or just
hear their blades turning?

Why do you persist in personal insults? It highlights your lack of
factual rebuttal, and minimizes any argument that you offer.

I normally refrain from personal insults....I only resort to them after being assaulted
with them from the other side.

But the larger picture is why you don't focus your attention (on personal insults) on
the main players of that group, namely Krause, jps and basskisser? Care to explain?

Some can't, or won't.

Hey, Jim. You claim I've been assaulting you with personal insults?

Well I'm sorry as hell if that's true.

Tell you what. I'll toss you a challenge.
I will not respond to any of your posts henceforward, (that will eliminate any
need for you to endure my onslaught of personal insults), and all I ask in
return is that you not respond to any of mine.

Since according to you, I'm the one that always starts the name calling and
personal attacks, there won't be any under this arrangement. It's painfully
apparent that neither of us has an interest in any constructive communication
with the other, so let's just ignore each other and knock off the exchanges of
grade school crapola.
Agreed?
