Coincidence?
Is it just me, or is it odd that every time the shit starts to get deep for the Reps the terror alerts and the homecoming troops start to show up on the news? It seems so blatantly obvious... Or is it just my imagination?

7. Thought so
I thought I might be stating the obvious, and I'm fairly new to DU, but I still find that if I share that thought with most people they think I'm crazy, or some kind of conspiracy theory nutcase.

I was at work today, with CNN and MSNBC on in the background, and I just couldn't stop giggling to myself at how obvious it is, or at least it seems to me.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy!

I feel bad for the folks in New York who have to wonder and who can't observe things like the subway threat quite so casually.

15. Takes me back
I remember that my high school algebra teacher (1972?) had a poster on her wall that said "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you." So true.

17. never again
I don't want to relive high school again, but I know whatcha mean. I have to thank my parents though, because they were the ones who showed me compassion, tolerance, fairness, acceptance, all the things that I know now. All the things that those f_cking "compassionate conservatives" know nothing about.

There is a special circle in hell for those hypocrites. If I remember right, that circle of hell has them laden with heavy robes - they wear their hypocrisy.

18. What about...
Do you think the bird flu thing is real? I'm not sure about that one, but I thought what a great way to put us under martial law. Hmmmm.....

4. Not at all, it is blatantly obvious
Edited on Fri Oct-07-05 08:39 PM by never cry wolf
Someone has even charted shrubbies popularity polls superimposed with terra alerts. They come when he needs a boost at the box office. Remember the orange alert right after the Dem convention? They wasted a mole on that one, just so the timing woyld work out. I had a 3 day fight with my best friend over that one when I pointed it out.

edited to add: Welcome to DU! :hi:

tsk, tsk, where are my manners?

10. Nope, not your imagination! :) And welcome (if I haven't said it already)!
You know what really scares me is that this administration has gotten so used to crying 'wolf!' to distract the nation from its corruption that I worry that we'll all be ignoring them when the really crap hits the fan... :(

12. It's getting so obvious that almost everyone here predicted
the terra alert. I know I did.
