I'm not in NY or DC, but is it SAFE? Could Al-Kaseltzah try to hit other "financial institutions", like ATM's and small-town branch banks?
OMG! I have a bank branch just down the street from me....

Yes, any reeason to call in and stay home and screw-off.

1. Better stay home.
Best place to be is under your couch right now watching Faux News.

2. You think that's bad!
For me to get to class I have to change trains underneath the Citicorp building in Queens, then the next stop on the train I change to is under the Citicorp building in Manhattan!!!! I'm doomed!!!! That's it, I'm never leaving my apartment because I'm filled with the fear. You can smell it on me. It's the fear.

p.s. by the way it makes sense that they would decide to target the Citicorp buildings in NYC because of all the Saudi money in the company. That was the first thing I thought when I heard the announcement. Why haven't any of the TV news "journalists" connected these dots?

6. I would think the building in Queens would be an easier target
because it is sort of out there all by itself. I used to make the same changes you do for my last job.

I was thinking the opposite re: Saudi money. Why bite the hand that feeds you?

My guess is that Citi didn't cough up enough dough to the GOP this year.

8. Al Queda hates the Saudi Royal family
They want them out. They aren't being fed by them. One of the main reasons they hate the US so much is the US relationship with the Saudi Royal family. That's why they bombed the buildings in Saudi Arabia that housed the people who worked for the company that guards them.

4. In NO circumstances...............
should you venture outside today. Duct tape your windows and again, watch FOX News. If you value your life you'll do these things, otherwise the terrorists win!

7. Stay home, by all means
And tell work that you'll still need your full paycheck, and any shortfall in their books should be happily made up by the Office of Homeland Security. Right?

10. If I worked in the "targetted" areas, you bet I'd stay home.
And I'd either telecommute or they'd have to pay me a kilobuck a day, like they do the KBR mercs.
AND I'd write Hillary.

This is bullshit. "There's danger of an attack on your building, but go to work anyway. Barney Fife down in the lobby will protect you..."

Jerking people around to get our minds off the fact that Junior is tanking in the polls.

Hey, Dumbya, know what? you're TOAST, buddy! You're going back to the pig farm in Texas, and your mommy is gonna beat your ass for disgracing the family, but that's OK, because you Bush men are nothing BUT disgraces.

9. Absolutely! Stay at home today
Hell stay home for the rest of the week! Terra is everywhere! Well, go out and get some plastic sheeting for your windows. At least do that. Maybe stock up on some groceries. <sarcasm off> I am appalled at this staged show they are putting on.
