This season's "orange alert" is a more rusty, "fall leaf" hue that goes with just about anything. It's perfect for "day-to-evening" so you can be completely and utterly terrified at all times, whether you're at a holiday party, at work, or lunching with the girls.

Someone read this story by Newsweek on MSNBC and tell me if they are saying their poll is based on ONLY 153 respondants? It's way down in the story. And it's a glowing report for Bush.
President Bush's favorite yarn about Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi is gone, along with the joke about unwashed rental cars.
In Bush's fast-changing campaign speeches, old chestnuts are rapidly falling to the ground to make way for new zingers. Departing from long-standing practice, his team is tweaking the stump speech each day -- sometimes, like Friday, several times in one day.
What used to be a repetitive address is now a fast-moving vehicle for driving news coverage and rebutting charges from Democratic Sen. John Kerry.
In the frantic closing days of the campaign, Bush gives speeches four times a day, in four different cities. The day before the election, he will give seven addresses. Each is a potential weapon to reach thousands, even millions of people.
``Six months ago, both campaigns recognized rapid response had reached a new level,'' said Nicolle Devenish, the Bush-Cheney campaign's communications director. She spoke after a day in which the president's team had tinkered with his standard speech twice in response to remarks by Kerry, a four-term Massachusetts senator. ``It's an evolution of the speed of the news cycle.''
Dramatic changes began midweek, when Bush broke his nearly three-day silence on reports that nearly 400 tons of explosives were missing in Iraq...
Esp. liked this part:
Bush, meanwhile, made a new overture to Democrats as he traveled with Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga. ``I'm a proud Republican, but I believe my policies appeal to many Democrats,'' he said.
The president's rallies are invitation-only, and dissenters are barred, so few if any Democrats were in his audience, but the news media on hand would carry his message beyond the rally site.
The always-compliant SCLM in action...

From a practical point of view, this color coded alert scheme appears to be less than useless. I can imagine how tremendously shocking it would be if terrorists staged an attack just after we stepped down the color code. The point seems to have been missed that letting an enemy know what you know about their plans is not something you want to let out of the bag.
I'm not sure, but I'm willing to bet a fairly large percentage of the population agrees with this point of view.
I wonder if it would ever be politically feasible to dump the cocamammy color scheme?

Actually it's just the opposite.
The reason that this Bin Laden tape is not going to fatally damage Kerry is the fact that he's positioned himself to the right on the "war on terror" and slammed Bush on Tora Bora repeatedly.
Had Dean been running a campaign to the left, it might have. I actually preferred Dean to Kerry during the primaries but since Kerry wiped the floor with Bush in the debates, I've come to the conclusion that Kerry was the better choice.

I didn't think that they'd have the nerve to punch up another nation-wide orange alert before the election. As usual, I underestimated the mendacity of the Bush administration.
I live in the DC area and travel on one of the most vulnerable links of our transportation system, commuter trains. I think we've been under the orange alert status since early August and you know what America, you get used to it. Your life doesn't end. You don't hide in your house. You still go to work. You still hit the grocery store. You still have martinis on Friday night.
Don't let these jackasses in the Bush administration drive the story. The OBL tape showing him alive and well, the new alert, the screw-up at Al Qaqaa, all point to the manifest failures of Bush.
It takes a big and sexually confident man to kiss another big and sexually confident man on the lips in front of a crowd that size.

``At one time in this campaign, he actually said the heart and soul of America can be found in Hollywood,'' Bush said in Toledo, Ohio, drawing boos from his supporters.
He quietly dropped that line at his next speech, when he stood next to actor and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. It came back Saturday morning.

Besides OBL is stating the obvious...leave us alone, get off our land and we will leave you alone.

kissfan - i hear ya, the funny thing is the media keeps quoting the identical sound bites from different speeches. my favorite is "the worst kind of monday-morning quarterbacking," which Chimpy has used on at least three occasions.
The worst (best?) part is that the Chimp doesn't realize what the implications of what he's saying are (and this is new?). Monday-morning quarterbacks only get a shot when the team has lost.

Osama Bin Laden does set the agenda for the Bush Administration. He didn't want to be caught, so Bush didn't go after him. Bush aims to please!
Any jerk in this country who votes for Bush now, deserves to burn in Hell. Because Bush didn't go after OBL, we now have a fresh tape showing that he isn't trapped in the back of a cave, fearing for his own life. He is strong and proud, in his flashy new gold robes, ready to continue his mission.

I hope everyone realizes that in the past, every time the terror-color has been changed upward, that the threat was very soon proved to be false and politically motivated. There have been NO exceptions to this.
This is just so blatantly politically motivated so close to the election and is stunning in it's unholy, evil abuse of the sacred (overused word, but not in this instance) public trust. This administration is monstrous. We all knew they would try to pull this.
I'm also not seeing it on Fox website, nor at NYTimes or MSNBC.msn.com (just to randomly pick a couple of SCLM outlets).
Here's something weird, though: the public home page over at the Department of Homeland Security is non-responsive (I keep timing out).

SECOND CASE OF RESTRICTED WEAPONS FALLING INTO TERRORIST HANDS!!!
Looters Said to Overrun Iraq Weapons Site
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: October 30, 2004
Filed at 1:08 p.m. ET
Looters unleashed last year by the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq overran a sprawling desert complex where a bunker sealed by U.N. monitors held old chemical weapons, American arms inspectors report.
Charles Duelfer's arms teams say all U.N.-sealed structures at the Muthanna site were broken into. If the so-called Bunker 2 was breached and looted, it would be the second recent case of restricted weapons at risk of falling into militants' hands.
Like Bill Maher once said to her, she just makes shit up.

solely, SOLELY, because they know the game is up on using terror alerts for political purposes. i remember clearly that the last time they did it, the main story was how they were suspect and suspicious.
and now they're looking at a bunch of talking heads on tv waiting to pounce on the issue again. and the net result is that it's gonna make bush look that much worse.
i'd say this is something they would have been able to get away with four years ago too, but i guess you can chalk this up to us, in a sense.

Wow, just had a really bizarre experience. Was putting the first load of laundry in at the laundromat(lawd, for a washer/dryer in my building), and a woman sitting there noticed my Kerry/Edwards button.
"Who you voting for?" she asked. I realized then that she was, to put it delicately, intellectually challenged.
"John Kerry," I said.
"Why?" she was perplexed.
"Because I think he'll make a better President than Bush." I replied.
"Why?" she asked again.
"Because he'll put the country on a course that I think will be better for all of us, not just the rich and powerful."
"Why?"
I'm really glad that if she is voting, she doesn't live in a battleground state where Rethugs will challenge the votes of the mentally handicapped. This woman would be a prime target. It also bothered me that she was looking at the New York Post, whose headline today screams "Osama Promises Another 9-11!!!!"

As she finally looked up I noticed she needed a bath and, sadly, was a mouth-breather. Noticing my button, she said, "You like Kerry?" I said, "Yup" opting for short one syllable answers while inside thinking, "No, honey, I'm president of Masochists for Bush and I'm wearing the Kerry button for real pervy thrills, you dumb cow."
She says, "I like Bush."

It appeared the first time a popular Arab language media was targeted in car bombings, favored by insurgents to wage attacks against US forces in Iraq and their cooperators. Based in Dubai and a sister news channel of Qatar-based Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya has broadcast purported videos and statements from militant groups, including former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terror network. It was previously temporarily banned by the Iraqi authority from covering news out of Iraq. However, the Saudi-funded channel was known by Iraqis to be more coop[e]rative with the interim government led by Iyad Allawi, especially after he visited Saudi Arabiya earlier this year.

The truth is it's easier for the flea to bite the elephant than for the elephant to bite the flea.
What if we stopped supporting undemocratic regimes in in the middle east and insisted that Israel pull back to the green line, introduced serious energy conservation in this country....
Is that more likely to bring meaningful peace ?
Or continue down the same arrogant path of war because we can't deal with the fact that we are extremely vulnerable....to getting bit by "fleas."

"Nothing rhymes with orange.
jus' sayin'-What about "door hinge"?"
All right, I can't prove this theory, but I believe that words have to rhyme in a wider geographical area than just one ranch in Crawford, Texas to actually be considered a rhyme.

Re: the Halloween Bush rally in Cincinnati (emphasis added):
Debbie Anderson, a physician and mother of two in Anderson Township, calls herself a "W Mom." But she'll miss Bush rather than disappoint her second- and fourth-graders.
"It's killing me not to go," she said. "But I'm a mom first. I hope George Bush understands."
the same people who believe that Iraq was behind 9/11 believe that they hate us for our "freedoms" (and "internets").

Important voter information for you to have and to share:
1. If you are not sure what the poll opening & closing times are for your state, or know somebody who needs this information, go here:
Well, if Osama's planning another 9-11 maybe they could lock the cockpit doors, or make sure to co-ordinate the watchlists, or -oh never mind. I know the only thing that would work is to kill every single person that might ever want to be a terrorist.
I hate flying alone. It gets all lonely. At least I can trust me not to do anything terrorist or nothin.

Threats from reknown terrorist Jack O'Lantern have prompted us to raise the threat level to orange alert. O'Lantern, recognizable by his lopsided mouth and large orange cranium, is a master of disguise. He is known to commonly pose a Dutch-American equestrian or as the Vice President of the United States.

Well, if that cross around her neck was any bigger, she could dry her unmentionables on it.
She doesn't wear any. Take it from me....I heard it straight from Bill O'Reilly.

Think about this before you cast your vote.
Look at the following list of names and consider who they would most likely vote for if they were allowed to vote in our coming election,
Martin Luther King
Abraham Lincoln
Thomas Jefferson
Benjamin Franklin
Thomas Paine
Gandhi
Eleanor Roosevelt
Robert Kennedy
Nelson Mandela
Bishop Tutu
The Lorax
When you cast your vote will you be voting the same way as you think the above people will vote?
How closely aligned with these people will you be

We are on track for historic turnout in this election. Voters are coming out in record numbers for John Kerry.
And that has the Republicans scared. They have no plan, no hope, no way to win this election except to stop people from voting. Their strategy is simple:
1.Discourage Democratic voters from going to the polls by filling the airwaves with predictions of doom and gloom.
2.Delay voting and create lines at polls by challenging voters and election officials.
3.Deny voters the opportunity to cast their votes and have them counted.
But their strategy won't work. We will stop their attempts to deny our rights by using the best weapons in our arsenal: information and education.
It's vital that you know your voting rights. Take a minute today to make sure that others know their rights, too. Download our guide to voting rights:
5. If you are IN LINE to vote when the polls are scheduled to close, your have an absolute right to get in to vote. THAT'S THE LAW!

As usual, the Repukes are dreaming.
This doesn't help their Monkey Boy at all.
What it does is remind people that 9/11 happened over three years ago, and OBL is STILL running around. It shows them that DUMBya can talk tough, but he's a p**sy when it comes to action.
It reminds them that we've lost over 1000 Americans in Iraq, a mess Bush lied us into.
For WHAT? OBL is STILL out there!

Have you contacted your Corporate Media Whore today?
OT, but speaking in sort of a meta-ish manner about bogus threats generally...
there's this new BBC documentary called The Power of Nightmares, and it's absolutely brilliant. To make an extremely long story short, it describes just how similar the worldviews of the neocons and the Islamo-fascists are.
The first two episodes are now available online; details here.
Nothing rhymes with orange.
jus' sayin'-What about "door hinge"?
In the part of the country I'm from (Northeast), you would need to use:
"car hinge."
In the Northeast, the American dialect still tends to reflect the English/British pronunciation in certain details. They (Brits) would still rhyme it with "car hinge" today.
Same thing with "Oregon":
We say "ARR-ah-gin."

When all else fails, the GOP starts with the "turra, turra, turra" BS.
Like the boy who cried wolf, no one is buying it anymore.
The OBL tape is hurting Monkey Boy and his apologists know it.

And I'm sure NONE of them have REAL jobs.
They're only going to vote for Bush because their husbands and daddies tell them to.

Something about Coulter just makes me furious, that she's allowed on TV, or on this planet. When my cousin (a producer at CNN, natch) told me had a big crush on her last Thanksgiving, it was all I could do not to whack him with a turkey leg.
Ewwww! What is he - a closet gay?
I've seen drag queens who look more like women than (M)ann Coulter does!
Personally, I would like to use Coulter as a mop.

Did anyone hear about Richard Belzer ripping Coulter a new one on the Bill Maher show last night?
She sat there and said that the mess in Iraq was a "huge success" and the audience laughed her right off the show.
Of course, she didn't have the stones to show up there in person...oh, no!

Working for Kerry outside Cincinnati's Paul Brown Stadium this past Monday night, I was stunned by the obvious poverty of many of the heavily drunk Bush supporters...tattered Sam's Club clothing and cheap shoes on folks who couldn't be making anywhere near $25-30k...I really was shocked! Of course, they all screamed filthy things but heading the list of taunts was, "Kerry's (or Edwards') a fag!"
I thought there were laws in this country against brothers and sisters breeding with each other.
Fag....yeah, right. Because they're both married to strong women - and not some Stepford Bitch on prozac?

Wow, just had a really bizarre experience. Was putting the first load of laundry in at the laundromat(lawd, for a washer/dryer in my building), and a woman sitting there noticed my Kerry/Edwards button.
"Who you voting for?" she asked. I realized then that she was, to put it delicately, intellectually challenged.
"John Kerry," I said.
"Why?" she was perplexed.
"Because I think he'll make a better President than Bush." I replied.
"Why?" she asked again.
"Because he'll put the country on a course that I think will be better for all of us, not just the rich and powerful."
"Why?"
Because stupid people get on my fucking nerves and, incidentally, you're on my last one right now!

I think they mean cavity searches.
But all of the Cinn. area should dress their kids up in Kerry masks and ship them off to the rally. I'd love to see Bush look out at a sea of Kerry faces. Plus, we'd get really great photos when the brownshirts started whomping on the poor, beautiful kiddies.
Do it for the children!

Oh, you'll love Code Orange.
All you girlie-men and boylie-women need to relax.
We in NYC have been at Code Orange since 9/11. We're used to seeing cops in riot gear and the only National Guard troops left that are not in Iraq, That guy you see over in the corner in the subway with fatigues and an M-16, who probably wasn't good enough to go get blown up in Iraq. Now, THAT'LL make you feel safe, boy!
They were going to drop the color code back down again, but there have been too many warnings that Rudy Giuliani was coming back through town over the years.
So they just left it at Orange.
