8. My screen name was mentioned in USAToday and outed that I do not watch Cable News

Even on normal days, the blogosphere is a petri dish of conspiracy theories, but when the code went red, the dish spilled over with wild thoughts. Some were downright silly, some rooted in real politics. An example of both: LynneSin, writing on Democraticunderground.com, suggested one reason liquids were banned on airplanes was to allow the airlines to charge insane amounts for their own beverages.

LynneSin also questioned the timing of the arrests two days after national security hawk Joe Lieberman went down in a Democratic Senate primary in Connecticut. "If this event had happened any other day of the year outside of the days after Joe Lieberman's defeat," the blogger proclaimed, ".... this event would not be covered ad nauseum over the news network."

LynneSin must not watch much cable news.

Turns out there was very little evidence against the people they rounded up from that event and I'm still pissed I can't bring my own bottle water on an airplane and I'm stuck buying their overpriced stuff.


As for my full name I was on Romper Room for 2 weeks.

BTW - here was my response:

9. I was on TV news quite regularly for a couple of years. When people I don't know say I look

familiar, I remind them that I was on TV, and that's usually it.
