If the answer to death is life
then the answer to tragedy is life affirmation...
I'm feeling the best I've been since last Tuesday... Still, its time to go back to work and not let the ubiquitous 'them' hurt the economy any more - time to live and not let 'them' distract our lives any more - time for me to punch 'them' in a proverbial soft spot because I have to get on with it.
I mean...
ALL I WANT TO DO IS PUNCH TERRORISM IN THE TESTICLES SO I CAN REMEMBER TO DRINK MY COFFEE BEFORE IT GETS COLD AS I SURF THE INTERNET!
*AHEM*
I should get back to work...
but before I do, here are this week's installment of
� Today's Headlines �
RACISM
� Violence toward Arabian and Middle Eastern people in US grows.
STOP BEING RACIST RED NECKED KKK NAZI CARD CARRYING BIGOTED IGNORANT DUMB PEOPLE!!!!!
Let me spell it out for all the morons out there:
1) By attacking someone in anyway because of how you perceive them, you are joining the terrorist�s cause you dumbasses.
2) over 90 percent of the Muslim world has denounced the attacks, calling them �Harram� or sacrilegious.
3) If Timothy McVeigh had ties to Fundamentalist Christian groups, then why didn�t you go out and attack people on the way to church after the Oaklahoma Federal building was bombed?
"Why Mr Racist, why are you attacking US Muslem citizens?"
"Because we're racist morons who are using all of those who have died as an excuse to spread our own brand of hate?"
"Ah, yes, that's what I thought."
4) Stop using the nations suffering as an excuse to be a RACIST RED NECKED KKK NAZI CARD CARRYING BIGOTED IGNORANT DUMB PERSON!
Thank you.
AFTERSHOCK
� Dow, Nasdaq plunge as markets re-open
Expect the markets to drop 4 to 6 percent - which isn't all that bad considering. Typically around the world in all the other markets, they have dropped a lot in the morning, gone crazy schizophrenic all day and then towards the end of trading have rebounded a bit.
update 4:23 pm.
The DOW closed at down 7 percent. Whoops. Damn pessimistic investors.
CHOP!
� Fed cuts rates 1/2 point
God bless Alan Greenspan.
New Yorkers go back to work

U.S. creates air security teams
� Experts� recommendation due Oct. 1
Its pretty simple folks.
1) Install 2 security doors for the pilots protection.
2) Instruct all pilots to never, ever, open the cockpit door for anyone - ever.
3) Under cover security personnel on all flights.
4) Turn over airport security to the Coast Guard.
Anxious allies urge U.S. caution
� Nations worry about hasty retaliation
Facts? Who needs facts?
� Byron: Are consumers ready to fight?
Fight meaning that America�s shell-shocked consumer-citizens, whose willingness to get out there and shop until they drop will decide - probably pretty quickly - whether the economy, the stock market and, ultimately, the prosperity of the world remains intact or not.
Yes, only you and your trip to the CD store can prevent Armageddon. Just remember to maximize your dollar by buying American.
� Poll: 81 percent say wait to retaliate
Find out who, prove the clues, and then make terrorist stew.
� TSN: Baseball will be a healthy outlet
However football will be an unhealthy outlet? I suspect this is a propagandist marketing ploy to get people to pay attention to baseball on a mass level once again - while also pumping more money into the economy.
What a good idea.
� ER doctors save a life and a bride
Yep, many many people were saved from the brink of death in NYC.
� Schell: Vulnerability to destruction
I guess this one falls under the 'no shit' category.
