[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

1. i think that's tomorrow

but i'm not sure

[Walt Starr]

2. And isn't it supposed to be the Sears Tower that gets attacked today?

I type as I am sitting in the Sears Tower.

3. "Not Gullible" said the attack would be around 3:00 PM

I think the only diaster so far has been those colliding trains in Penn Station...which wasn't too bad since nobody died.

13. DUCK!

duck GOOSE....

You're it.

[Dookus]

4. well

there's a crazy conspiracy nut here who uses numerology to indicate that there will be an attack today on the Sears Tower. It's nonsense.

HOWEVER....

today *IS* the anniversary of the bombing in Oklahoma City, which in turn was the anniversary of the Branch Davidian/Waco tragedy. So for those nutjobs who want to honor anniversaries, today could mean something.

Tomorrow is Hitler's birthday, which is also a day to be concerned about where the wingnuts are involved.

5. my son's birthday is today

I did explain that some bad things have happened on his birthday, but that good things have happened also. Like he came along! :) As far as it being Hitler's b-day, I didn't tell him that one. That is not the favorite person to share your b-day with! Plus Columbine was this day as well, right? Sigh.

8. My son's birthday is November 22

the day Kennedy was killed.

And my husband's is September 11.

12. Ah, like one of my best friends!

You DO have SOME good company.

She's a wonderful, unique person, and hates the Shrubbery as much as we do.

9. My b-day is the same as *bush-lite

and Merv Griffin.

6. This is the date that right-wing freepers attack, not Al Qaeda

This is the anniversary of the Ruby Ridge disaster during the Bush I Administration in 1992 (although the Freepers always blame Janet Reno; she wasn't in office then).

Ruby Ridge
Waco
Oklahoma City

[Dookus]

7. No...

Ruby Ridge occurred in August, 92. The end of the Waco standoff occurred on April 19, 1993.

10. Well, let me just add that today was the eclipse....around 9:30 am

but visible mainly in the southern global hemisphere.
