Fire in the U.S. Capitol building right now(11 pm)

[OldLeftieLawyer]

Reported here on the local (D.C.) news.

I figure they just haven't nailed down the necessary votes to confirm Bolton, so they'll keep coming up with crises.

Am I cynical, do you think?

[democracyindanger]

1. Reichstag, anyone?

[bpilgrim]

8. creepy

i can't wait for the link :crazy:

peace

[XemaSab]

25. Good call

n/t

[dissent1977]

67. Lets see...

First we had a grenade attack, then an evacuation of the Capital and White House, and now a fire in the Capital building. And all of them were fake? Is somebody trying to whip up fear of terrorism again as Bush's poll numbers plummet and they are preparing us for war with Iran?

[lakeguy]

2. memo, what memo?

[brainshrub]

9. I vaguely remember a memo from somewhere in "old yurp."

But if it was important, the corporate media would have covered it... so I'm not worried.

[MadisonProgressive]

3. How could anyone of us not be cynical at this point!

[Massacure]

4. A grenade, a plane, and now a fire???

WTF? :wtf:

[FreedomAngel82]

17. Wow

This is nuts. And all this time Bush was in Maryland bike riding.

[thecrow]

44. Well, they come in threes, don't they? n/t

[Fire Walk With Me]

52. Nah, an outbreak of Marburg is definitely next.

[bilgewaterbill]

5. is there a link? nt

[OldLeftieLawyer]

7. I don't know

It's on the 11 pm news, as the lead story - breaking news.

We just switched to Comedy Central.

That's cynical, isn't it?

[bilgewaterbill]

13. If it's not on Comedy Central - it's not news. nt

[lonestarnot]

21. Crack me up .... catch'n a little Stewart?

[hvn_nbr_2]

54. Comedy Central--all the news that's worth watching. n/t

[zann725]

57. Ain't that the truth! Countdown is a farse lately. Stewart is the only

show/news in town.

[Pithy Cherub]

6. The republicans have upgraded from shredding?

:shrug:

[lonestarnot]

14. Bushitler whank'n another horse!

[Daphne08]

10. Are you joking?

[OldLeftieLawyer]

12. Nope

I seriously doubt if I'm even hallucinating.

[burrowowl]

11. Cynical ?!?

Realist, probably. COunt me in.

[Renew Deal]

15. Double red alert!!!

:nuke:

[lenidog]

16. Is this for real!? Because I have a friend who works in the

Capitol building as a restorative painter and she would have started work a couple hours ago.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

19. I'm sure she's out of the building

The sirens and stuff that were on the film clip suggested that an evacuation had taken place.

Don't worry.

[lenidog]

22. That does ease my mind a little bit if it seems they have already

evacuated.

[AuntiBush]

18. Latest FEAR TACTICS as a lead-in to the 2006 ELECTIONS

Seen a neighbor outside his home with the car radar on "loud," about the so-called red alert, today. He looked like a nutcase hanging on to every word from the radio. A younger guy was walking by with his little girl on her bike at the same time. He gave him one of those :wtf: look.

As the young man passed me he rolled his eyes and smiled.

I knew it was a :thumbsup: for our younger generation, long past the fear tactics and sick of the bull.

He knew. And that felt good, even if it's just 1 of our youths at a time.

28. Did you know that there is a God of Confusion

and his name is Eshu?
It rather looks as if he is currently visiting Washington DC.

And what is it with this number eleven?

[Fire Walk With Me]

To wit:

"special use of Sterculius the Roman god of manuring"

26. moron* chokes on own lies...News at 11

[Melynn]

27. I wonder if this small stuff

is just a prelude to something bigger. BushCo is going to have to make their big move for total power soon before the entire public turns on them.

[halobeam]

35. Thats what my husbands been telling me for years.

You should've seen the look of total disbelief in my repub relatives when I even mentioned "hitler" in the same conversation as Bush. LOL they were ashamed of me, and I got the look like I should be ashamed of myself. LMAO... they've had their heads up their asses for their entire lives about ANYTHING that is "uncomfortable"...hehe

[sniffa]

29. has anyone eLse found anything on this?

Our country is now geared to an arms economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an incessant propaganda of fear.

– General Douglas MacArthur

[Nothing Without Hope]

55. If they start claiming that it was an Iranian terror plot, war is coming

soon. Syemour Hersh, Scott Ritter and Jerome Corsi all said it was scheduled for June.
