"Goss warns of terror threat to U.S."
So, somewhere, sometime in the future, something bad might happen to someone within a couple thousand miles of you.
Not that we should ignore this, but it's idiotic to have CNN blowing the FUD trumpet.
Unless you happen to be in Iraq, in which case it's more of a "how many today" type of situation.
But it's bad to think about real people getting blowing up. It's much more productive for people to be randomly afraid of nonspecific threats so that they'll be happy when authority figures abuse and harass them because then the authority figure is Doing Something.
Ignorance is strength.
Fear is happiness.
Apparently last night was stupid driver night at Border's.
I pull into the underground parking lot, take my ticket to make the gate open and a guy promptly pulls about 4 feet out of a parking space, blocking my way. He then sits there for about 2 minutes before backing his car straight into a bright yellow post. Fortunately, he went back into his parking space before he got out and started alternating between swearing and asking how to get out of the garage.
On my way out I got to see someone make a 5 point turn in order to turn left around a corner.
Just one of those nights...
Ok, I must admit that Google's new map thing is nifty. But I'm not sure why plugging in the search "Ale and Whores" for my local area managed to produce "Art Center College of Design".
