If You Were a Terrorist, How Would You Attack?
I would feed Sarge chili & let him loose in Woodfield. I would give Smiff his own blog.

Passenger 'hid monkey under hat'
A man has been questioned by police at LaGuardia airport in New York after smuggling a monkey onto a flight from Florida by hiding it under his hat.
Passengers spotted the animal when it climbed out and perched on the man's ponytail, Spirit Airlines spokeswoman Alison Russell told reporters.
Ms Russell said the monkey - a marmoset - spent the remainder of the flight in the man's seat and was well-behaved.
It is unclear whether the unnamed man will face any criminal charges.
The man's journey originated in Lima, Peru. Ms Russell said it was not known how the man avoided detection there, and during a several-hour stopover in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
When passengers noticed the fist-sized primate on the flight, they asked the man "if he knew he had a monkey on him", Ms Russell said.
New York animal control officials said the monkey appeared to be healthy, the Associated Press news agency reported.
It said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was planning to quarantine the animal for a month.
After that, the monkey could be sent to a zoo, AP said.

Romney Speaks Up for Sons' Decisions
1:25 PM CDT, August 8, 2007
BETTENDORF, Iowa - Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Wednesday defended his five sons' decision not to enlist in the military, saying they're showing their support for the country by "helping me get elected."
Romney, who did not serve in Vietnam due to his Mormon missionary work and a high draft lottery number, was asked the question by an anti-war activist after a speech in which he called for "a surge of support" for U.S. forces in Iraq.
Romney noted that his middle son, 36-year-old Josh, was completing a recreational vehicle tour of all 99 Iowa counties on Wednesday and said, "I respect that and respect all those and the way they serve this great country."
All five sons also show their patriotism by being frequent "anonymous posters" on blogger sites.

He's short, has a "foreign" name and might be a Martian, but he has the biggest balls on the stage, inc. Obama and Hillary. But anyone this honest is going to stay around 2%.

Ron Shandler of Swindler Inc.: Wrong Again
He could barely catch his breath this spring telling everyone to stay away from this flash-in-pan. Leading the league in HR and RBI, with a near .400 OBP? What is Ron smoking? He might be pretty good, Ron (my subscription expires this week).
Ryan Howard (Hillcrest Hummingbird, Triple Dog Dare) hit a pair of solo homers and added a third RBI on a groundout as the Phillies blew out the Marlins 11-1 on Tuesday. Howard hit a solo homer off reliever Carlos Martinez in the fourth, then added a second blast off reliever Mauro Zarate (Chix?) in the sixth. Despite playing in just 94 games this season, Howard has an impressive 32 homers and 93 RBI.

FULL@$#i+ Flip-Flopper
In the past two years, Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota twice vetoed legislation to raise the state’s gas tax to pay for transportation needs.
Now, with at least five people dead in the collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge here, Mr. Pawlenty, a Republican, appears to have had a change of heart.
“He’s open to that,” Brian McClung, a spokesman for the governor, said Monday of a higher gas tax. “He believes we need to do everything we can to address this situation and the extraordinary costs.”
In fairness, it's only been recently discovered that bridges and roads cost money to build and maintain.

Do I have to draw a map for you?
London (Reuters) - As many as 11 million British motorists are unable to read a basic road map, according to a survey released Monday.
Sixteen percent of British drivers have become so heavily reliant on satellite navigation systems that they have given up keeping a map in their car.
The survey -- based on a poll of 1,000 UK drivers -- estimated Britons' poor map-reading skills resulted in 36 billion wasted miles being driven each year.
