Don't I recall hearing about a previous encounter with this particular
species?  I mean shock therapy is fine for those that need it, but
deliberately seeking it out while underwater does not seem like a really
wonderful idea.  8^)

An invasion of Shelly Beach?  Who's you guys annoy?

I guess the world knows that the U.S. is on Orange alert.  To hear the news
reports, there's some serious expectation of a terrorist attack very soon.
Things like anti aircraft ordinance around Washington DC and other major
cities, increased inspections of vehicles, and the like are being reported.
I'm not real sure what information has been received, but it's pretty clear
it's being taken more seriously than has been the case in the past.

In my not so humble opinion, it's all just smoke and mirrors to distract us from what 'wubya' hasn't done to help the US economy. As gas price jumped by over $0.30 a gallon in just 2 weeks. Sheeit!
