Oho, So this Tulsi Gabbard lady is Hawaiian and Democratic. I likes. Wonder if the mainland Amreekans will likes :P—

Hawaii's Congresswoman-elect Tulsi Gabbard, who was elected just last month, hasn't even taken her seat in Congress yet, but she expressed her interest in another seat: that of the late Sen. Daniel Inouye, who served as the state's senator since 1963. Inouye had said his preferred successor would be Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, but that decision is up to Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who might announce his decision as soon as this evening — and Gabbard is not among the finalists.

Gabbard, a combat veteran who was deployed twice to the Middle East with the Army National Guard, earned some high-profile support in her bid from both Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker and actor Kal Penn, both of whom spoke at the Democratic National Convention.
I hope that my friend Tulsi Gabbard gets appointment to Hawaii Senate seat. Here is a great HuffPo piece on it: huff.to/UrrIUF—

Penn, echoing Vice President Joe Biden in his endorsement of President Obama, even considers Gabbard his "homie who gets it."
Imagine having a young Senator who gets it? My homie @TulsiGabbard, combat vet, 32, could be nominated! More here:

Despite the buzz, was Gabbard's move for the senate seat too soon?
Extremely disappointed in Tulsi Gabbard's decision to apply for Inouye's seat. Tulsi, if you didn't want the Rep seat why'd you run?—
William Moore (@Underdad) December 26, 2012
Even with Inouye's senate seat apparently headed to someone else, Gabbard has established herself as someone to watch in the Democrat party.
So does Abercrombie name Hanabusa (very likely) or ruffle feathers w/ Gabbard (lots of buzz in last 24hrs), his #2, or shoot foot w/ Case?—
Mel Huang (@mel_huang) December 26, 2012
Stay tuned.
Abercrombie has selected his lieutenant governor, Brian Schatz, to assume Sen. Inouye's seat.

Former Nagios Conference Calls out for Speakers
The 4th Open Source Monitoring Conference 2009 on Nagios has released its Call for Papers.
The two day event formerly known as the Nagios Conference has since become an annual meeting for users and developers of open source monitoring solutions. Despite the new name, "the conference will continue to focus on Nagios and its related tools," said Julian Hein, Managing Director of conference organiser Netways.
28 to 29 October in Nuremberg, Germany, open source professionals will meet to discover and share information on the latest developments and best practices around Nagios. "As with each year, the OSMC will offer practical presentations and hands-on workshops, all in a relaxed atmosphere of open discussion and casual networking," added Julian.
A few high flyers from the Nagios community are already confirmed speakers, including Wolfgang Barth, author of the first Nagios handbook, Kristian Köhntopp, architecture and scaling master at booking.com and Michael Lübben, Nagios-portal.org founder and developer of NagVis and NagTrap plugins.
Open to both English and German presentations, the OSMC 2009 Call for Papers, including previous programs can be found at the company's web site.
One month ago the open source project Nagios has been forked into the Icinga project. The Netways firm ascertains that the conference's name change has been planned long before and got nothing to do with the fork. According to the project roadmap, version 0.8.1 will be available next week.

The festivities began with a parade down Broadway. Lubbockites lined the streets to get a glimpse of the patriotic displays. There were troops with flags, kids with flags, and even a few familiar faces.

SBC Telcom Pioneers took first place honors for best commercial group. Univision KBZO Channel 51 won best band. Tega was the first place winner in the children's category. Tech-Terrace Unit Neighborhood Association was the best walking group. Rounding up the list of first place winners was the Mexican Heritage Charro Riders in the animal category.

Only judge me if you dare. This is not a tale based on empirical evidence. This is a tale based on what I lived through. It's a tale that's been told many times, without alteration over years and years. This actually happened. I do not pretend to understand what happened fully, but I am telling said tale to the world, as opposed to strictly family and friends.
Once upon a time, in the Army, I used to take my full 30 days of leave every year. A large portion of said leave was spent with family in the Pacific NW. Sometimes I would fly, but mostly I would drive. I adore the open road. More accurately, I adore the open road alone. I get to blast MY music, do MY thing, pull over when I have to pee, sidetrack to things like the World's Largest Ball of Twine at MY whim. I ADORE road trips by myself like others adore chocolate. Okay, maybe I love this more because it's less accessible.
On one particular trip between El Paso, Texas and the Washington, Oregon, Idaho area wherein my family is concentrated there was an incident. Mostly I can say things like, my AC went out, or I hopped in a lake for the fun of swimming, or I spent my 21st bday cruising at 85 mph alongside another person for 300 miles wherein we parted company never to hit a bar. This night was not like that at all.
First let me illustrate what my drive is like between El Paso and Lewiston, Idaho. It is a 1,500 mile drive of almost entirely desert and mountainous terrain. It's very much a, you'd better like your own company type of road trip. By the time we reach the apex of my tale we are about 1,300 miles into this 1,500 mile excursion.
It is about 2:00 a.m., it is December, cold, icy, and on one of the most windy and treacherous roads I've ever come across as a regular commuter thoroughfare. I have been driving for a day. I do not remember if I've take a nap or not. Sometimes I did, sometimes I didn't. If I did it's a guarantee that I was parked in a rest area for a total of 2 hours with my gun in my hand clutched to my breast, safety on, and hidden under a blanket with the car in neutral heating me up from the night chill.
I was winding my way up I-95 between Boise and Lewiston on a road that runs mostly along a river and/or near cliffs. It is something of a pain to drive being so curvy and only 2 lanes in most areas on the best of days. The max speed is 55 – 60 and the curves range from 25 – 45. Now let's picture one of the worst of days. It was below freezing, it had recently snowed, but the roads were passable, and I was alone, after 1,300 miles. There is little or no cell phone reception at most points in the middle of this route due to the remote area and/or the mountainous region. This is just the natural situation I was up against.
Now, let us imagine that I was road hypnotized, it was about 2 a.m., driving around twists, turns, wondering about the integrity of guard rails, if there even were any, along my route North from Boise to Lewiston.
As I was approaching one curve to the left I see something off to the side of the road. It was squatting along the white line that delineates the area between the road and off the road…..
I think to myself, "Critter." This is very commonplace on the road, I've seen elk, deer, antelope, bear, fox, squirrel, etc………….. the list just goes on and on. Totally makes sense.
Critter stands up. Erect. Human style.
Critter is a ginger, a red-head, and has very long hair.
Critter starts to sprint into the forest. Critter did not lumber. Critter didn't look like a cheetah. Critter didn't bound like a deer. Critter sprinted like a mother-flippin' Olympic sprinter!!!!!!!! W!T!F!
My logical response was……….."EEEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIGFOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I started hauling a$$ out of the A.O. Holy crap. You could not keep my feet away from that gas pedal, no matter the safety concerns. I knew I'd left that son-of-a-biscuit miles behind and yet I could not stop going 70 mph around turns that even on sunny August days were only really capable of 55. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heart racing. ALONE! Stroke inducing. ALONE! Driving fast away! ALONE! Driving really, really, really fast away! I AM ALONE! BIGFOOT! GAS PEDAL! ALONE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIGFOOT!!!!!!
The minute that I got within cell phone range I was making phone calls to everyone I knew. It took all the nerve I had to keep going/stop going. I just had to talk it out. I called my mom, my dad, my grandparents, my best friend, my sister, anyone who would pick up and listen. I was shaking and freaking out like no one's business. IS THIS MYTHICAL CREATURE REAL?! I DON'T KNOW! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I knew, and all I know today, is that I saw something with red hair squatting roadside, then stand up, erect like a human, and sprint into the forest. Flip! Maybe the rumors are true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gah!
Bigfoot is alive in Idaho near Riggins.

ORR project oustees seek land instead of money
Our Bureau
A compensation of Rs 10-11 lakh per acre and about one fourth the share of the developed land acquired from them is paltry, feel farmers.
Hyderabad , Aug. 15
Those who have lost land under the Rs 3,000-crore Outer Ring Road (ORR) project, mainly farmers, have demanded that the State Government provide them land in lieu of their land lost to the project.
Farmers, particularly on the ORR project path around Hyderabad, have expressed anguish over the loss of land on which they have been dependent for ages. Instead of the money as compensation, which they believe is much lower than the market value, they seek land near the ORR path.
Interacting with them, the Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, assured them that the Government wouldwork out ways to compensate them better, including the possibility of providing part of the land acquired from them.
Dr Reddy said the Government would come up with detailed guidelines regarding land acquisition and compensation afterthe Cabinet subcommittee entrusted with the task of studying various options with regard to compensation, submittedits findings. Sympathising with the land oustees from the Pedda Ambarpet and Hayathnagar mandals around the city, Dr Reddy said they would get a compensation of Rs 10-11 lakh per acre and about one fourth the share of developed land acquired from them.
Such a compensation package will help them acquire agriculture land and also provide them with an option of selling their land from the developed land allotted near the ORR.
`Paltry compensation'
Given the backdrop of rapidly spiralling land prices, farmers feel that the compensation is paltry. They need to understand that the sudden rise in land prices is in fact due to the ORR project and without this the land prices will not go up, he explained.
However, the farmers who met the Chief Minister reiterated that only land would help them continue with their vocation.
Opposition parties and some leaders from the ruling Congress party too have been demanding that farmers be paid better compensation as their livelihood is under threat. They contended that land around the ORR project could be allocated to them instead of relocating to a site far away.
Meanwhile, a recent Cabinet decision to allot 5,000 acres of land to a consortium called Satyavedu Reserve Infracity Ltd, headed by Megasoft founder, Mr Ravindra Sannareddy, and NRIs, has come in for criticism by various political parties who have questioned the Government decision in allocating such a large land bank for SEZ.
This is in the back drop of the Tamil Nadu Government recently reversing earlier regime's decision to allot land to Megasoft near Chennai.

Supposedly the Pens threw a, roughly, 2 mil contract at him.
Originally, I loved the idea of signing him to a one year deal. But i was thinking more in the 1-1.5 range.
Anyways, what do you guys think: will he contribute, (whether it be with the Pens or Wings or whoever else) or be a flop.
I personally think he'll play 40-50 games and put up 10-20 points, although I am hoping for him to light it up; it would be a really feel good story.

traveling the country this fall,where should I go an climb? I would be leaving from nh. Looking to climb rock an ice.
Sport, trad, bouldering? The Bishop area and the Sierras is a must...but depends on what type of climbing?
All of it. But really looking to put up new routes.
My plan is yosemite for sept and the creek/moab area for oct & november with Ouray/Durango/silverton area for the rest of the winter...but that's just me
If you're looking to put up new routes, kinda helps to have an idea where those routes might be! Don't expect others to "give up the goods"! At least to anything worth developing...

UC Defeats State For Third Time
Reported by: Mark Martin
Videographer: A.J. Good
February 26, 2013
Bryan Poore was hopeful the third time would be the charm between his West Virginia State Yellow Jackets and the UC Golden Eagles.
After losing twice during the regular season, State drew UC in the opening round of the final West Virginia Conference Men's Basketball Tournament.
But just like it was the first two times, including a showdown in the regular season finale on Saturday, UC was a winner. The Golden Eagles sidelined the Jackets, 96-83, Tuesday evening at home inside Eddie King Gymansium.
UC advances on to the quarterfinal round of the tournament, which resumes Thursday at the Charleston Civic Center Coliseum.
UC, the No. 5 seed, now meets No. 4 seed Wheeling Jesuit, a winner over Davis & Elkins.
In other games, No. 2 Fairmont downed Ohio Valley, No. 3 Alderson-Broaddus beat No. 14 Bluefield State, No. 11 Glenville upset No. 6 Shepherd, No. 7 Seton Hill eliminated No. 10 Wesleyan and No. 9 Pitt Johnstown went on the road and knocked off No. 8 Concord.
Regular season champ and top-seed West Liberty was idle Tuesday and now faces off with Pitt Johnstown on Thursday.
This is the final year for both the WVIAC Men's and Women's Tournaments and teams in the league move into new conferences.
Also, there were six Class AAA regionals played on Tuesday to determine teams for next week's West Virginia Girls State High School Tournament. Martinsburg, Parkersburg South, Morgantown, Spring Valley, Logan and Princeton all advanced. Two games - Capital at Greenbrier East and Elkins at Hedgesville - were postponed due to weather.
The State Tournament begins next Wednesday.

Kate picture rekindles privacy row
12:53pm Tuesday 27th May 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
The Duchess of Cambridge is at the centre of fresh controversy over her privacy after a German newspaper published a photograph showing her bottom.
Kate is seen in the picture walking with her husband William during their recent tour of Australia when a gust of wind blows up her dress at the back, exposing her backside.
German tabloid Bild has caused controversy by running the image, with one commentator describing the move as "utterly tasteless".
The picture appeared on a section of the Bild's website alongside pictures of American reality television star Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe with the caption: "Khloe, Kim and Kate - backsides which have moved us these past few days."
Text underneath the picture of the Duchess went on: ' 'The royal helicopter rotor blades swirled up the air so that Kate's summer dress began blowing upwards - affording us a glimpse of her beautiful bum.
"Never have we been so thankful to a helicopter for creating such a wind. "
The item was today listed as number one under a section entitled "Top 5 of the day" on the Bild homepage.
The photograph was believed to have been taken as the Duchess boarded a helicopter to Sydney after an official tour of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales with Prince William last month.
It is not the first time a publication abroad has provoked controversy over the royal couple's privacy.
French magazine Closer sparked anger by printing topless images of Kate, 32, while she was sunbathing on a private holiday with William, 31, in September 2012.
In February last year Italian gossip title Chi published pictures of the Duchess when she was around four months pregnant in a bikini while on holiday with her husband on the exclusive Caribbean island of Mustique.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams condemned the publication of the latest photographs.
He said: "I think it's utterly tasteless but it speaks for itself and that was the case with the topless photographs."
A Kensington Palace spokesman said they had no comment.

As of 6 a.m. ET Wednesday, 811 of those flights were out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Other cancellations have been reported at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
As of 6:20 a.m. Central, all flights into and out of Fargo and Grand Forks are running on schedule, but airport officials advise you to check ahead, especially if the flights you're interested in have connections in the southeast part of the U.S.
Utility executive warns power outages could last days. The coming hours will tell the story across the Southeast. But no one knows yet if the long-anticipated winter storm will live up to the hype.
Families are snug in their homes after baring grocery store shelves. Road crews are staged along nearly empty highways and electric companies are ready to spring into action when power lines go down. Thousands of flights have been canceled.
But will it be enough?
National Weather Service forecasters say this winter storm -- packed with sleet, snow, rain and especially ice -- is different. They call it a potentially "catastrophic event." "This is one of Mother Nature's worst kind of storms that can be inflicted on the South," Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal told reporters Tuesday afternoon. "That is ice. It is our biggest enemy."
Sleet and freezing rain began falling across the state early Wednesday, causing scattered power outages -- more than 9,000, according to a tally from a Georgia Power map.
Make no mistake, this is a beast of a storm system. Winter storm warnings, watches and advisories are in place from Texas to Maine. A separate ice storm warning cuts a swath across Georgia's midsection. Up to an inch of ice could coat trees and power lines. "Widespread and extended power outages are likely as ice accumulates on trees and power lines and brings them down," the warning says. "Please prepare to be without power in some locations for days and perhaps as long as a week."
The threat is very real for a region virtually shut down two weeks ago by a couple of inches of snow. Accumulations of 3 to 5 inches are expected in metropolitan Atlanta, more in the northern suburbs.
The expectations are worse in northeast Georgia and upstate South Carolina.
Residents of Charlotte, North Carolina, were looking at up to a foot of snow, while mountainous southwestern Virginia also could see up to 14 inches.
The storm system was taking its toll on travel across the region.
Amtrak suspended some of its rail service in the Northeast, South and Mid-Atlantic regions for Wednesday.
Airlines announced more than 2,500 flight cancellations. The hardest-hit airports were Atlanta and Charlotte, according to Flight Aware.com.
Passengers aren't the only ones stuck. Some Delta employees at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport slept on planes overnight because there aren't enough hotel rooms for everyone, the airline said.
Georgia's Department of Transportation put crews on 12-hours shifts to salt, sand and scrape the roadways.
Gov. Deal said the state has brought in an additional 180 tons of salt and sand in an effort to keep roadways open, but he urged his citizens not to put themselves "in jeopardy or danger."
And residents seemed to heed his advice. Tuesday's rush hour traffic was extremely light. Traffic clustered around gas stations and grocery stores, with no one wanting to get caught short.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley dispatched additional Highway Patrol officers to help with the expected accidents and stranded motorists on state highways, her office announced.
So far, at least five deaths have been blamed on the weather, including three people who died when an ambulance driver lost control on an icy patch of road outside of Carlsbad, Texas.
The ambulance slid off the roadway into a ditch, where it rolled over, caught fire and burned, the Texas Department of Public Safety said. A patient, a paramedic and one other passenger were pronounced dead on scene. "If you get even a tenth of inch of ice on a road, it's like a skating rink," said Kurt Van Speybroeck, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Dallas.
In Mississippi, where the northern part of the state could see up to four inches of snow, authorities blamed two traffic deaths on the storm.
As the storm moved in overnight, Georgia Power, the state's largest utility warned that hundreds of thousands of customers could be out of power "for days" when ice-laden tree limbs crash onto electric lines, if predictions of up to an inch of ice pan out. "This has the opportunity to be a huge event when you're talking about the amount of ice you're looking at," Aaron Strickland, the emergency operations chief for the power company, told reporters.
The utility staged fleets of trucks across threatened areas, ready to deploy should their fears become a reality. Teams from Florida, Texas and Ohio helped bolster the local line crews. There was expected to be more than enough work to go around.

Operations Proposal Submitted
In September, a proposal was submitted to NIAID to obtain a UC7 cooperative agreement for operations support of essential cores for the GNL.UTMB responded to an invitation from NIH to submit an application for a National Biocontainment Laboratory Operation Cooperative Agreement (UC7 award), filing a 350+ page application.
This should be reviewed in January 2006, followed by negotiations with NIAID over the specific aspects of the award.
The UC7 aims to provide support for the extraordinary costs of doing research with select agents and emerging diseases at high levels of security and biocontainment, and will fund a series of research and facilities operation cores within the GNL. Boston University was the only other applicant.
The GNL UC7 application was submitted with Dr. Stanley M. Lemon as PI, Dr. Alan Barrett as Associate Director of the GNL for Research, and with major contributions by 14 Core Directors as well as the participation of a large number of faculty and staff in multiple departments and Centers. Plans for the GNL crystallized in 2003 with the preparation of a $167-million construction grant proposal. UTMB was awarded $110 million from NIAID in October 2003. UTMB is providing $57 million for the project which, when completed, will be a national resource 1) to support the Biodefense Research Agenda of the NIAID, and 2) to assist local, state and national public health efforts in the event of a bioterrorism emergency. Other contributors to the GNL construction fund thus far include The Brown Foundation in Houston, Robert J. Kleberg, Jr. & Helen C. Kleberg Foundation in San Antonio, and the Fondren Foundation in Houston.
Construction began in April 2005, following completion of the National Environmental Policy Act process and approval of a final Environmental Impact Statement. Completion is now projected for Spring of 2008.
The seven-story building will contain 83,433 net usable square feet of state-of-the-art laboratory and supporting facilities. The GNL will be adjacent to and connect with the Keiller Building containing the Shope BSL4 Laboratory. The GNL will house additional BSL4 laboratories, in addition to those now provided by the Shope Laboratory, and will also provide a significant amount of space allocated for BSL2 and 3 laboratories and research utilizing animal models.
An Administrative Core will have as one of its functions the management of the research activities of the GNL, providing programmatic direction and setting priorities for GNL use by both UTMB/GNL faculty and NIAID-funded scientists from other institutions. The director will be assisted in these endeavors by Dr. Alan Barrett and a GNL Operations Council.

U.S. Senate Takes Up FDA User Fee Reauthorization
Full U.S. Senate consideration of legislation to reauthorize U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to assess user fees on prescription drugs and medical devices began yesterday. The legislation has broad, bipartisan support and contains provisions aimed at ameliorating current and future prescription drug shortages.
HANYS supports the legislation as an important step toward mitigating current and future shortages.
The Senate will likely consider a discrete number of amendments during floor consideration, including one filed by Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) that would impose fines on pharmaceutical manufacturers that fail to report expected shortages of critical drugs. The bill would require early notification but would not assess penalties.
A number of senators continue to work to reach agreement on language related to the establishment of a national drug tracking system.
Similar legislation is expected to be taken up by the U.S. House of Representatives shortly after it returns from recess.
HANYS is urging members of the New York Congressional Delegation to support the FDA user fee reauthorization bills in both houses. Contact: Chelsi Stevens

The Stanley Cup Final is the ultimate fun for hockey fans and broadcasters. But when two Original Six teams are involved, things get ratcheted up a bit higher.
For the first time since 1979, two Original Six clubs -- the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks -- will compete for the Stanley Cup when the series opens Wednesday at United Center in Chicago (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, RDS).
That bit of history is fun for the fans, a group that includes the three main on-air talents for NBC who will be broadcasting the game: Mike "Doc" Emrick, Eddie Olczyk and Pierre McGuire.
"Original Six [teams] and wild fan bases that go back over generations, and this is going to be a thrill for us to be part of it and watch it all with you," Emrick said during a conference call Monday.
Olczyk knows well the passion that comes from being part of an Original Six team. He played for three in his 16-season NHL career -- the Blackhawks, Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Rangers -- and works as an in-game analyst on Blackhawks television broadcasts.
"It is super special when you can have two Original Six teams meeting in the Stanley Cup Final," Olczyk said. "I think the Original Six adds a little extra pizzazz to the Stanley Cup Final. I think these are the two best teams that have earned the opportunity to play for the greatest trophy in the world. And there is something to the selling and the luster of the Stanley Cup Final with two Original Six teams in it."

Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters to DJ Booty Call Wednesday Feb 13
Famed queen Jaunita More and DJ/promoter Joshua J have been throwing parties around San Francisco for years. One of their most famous and regular parties that they host together, Booty Call Wednesdays (BCW), happens every Wednesday, rain or shine, at QBar in the Castro. Every week they turn out a great party with guest DJ's and a photographer in the back who sets up a themed backdrop for group photos that get posted on their website.
Today, the party duo announced they are bringing Jake Shears, lead singer of the Scissor Sisters, back as guest DJ for BCW on Wednesday, February 13th at 9PM. Jake Shears and all of the Scissor Sisters are long time friends of Juanita More. Jake first DJ'd for BCW back when he was in San Francisco making "Tales of the City" in 2011. It was a packed house, filled with fans there to see Jake in a completely different setting, mixing other people's music. That night he played the early versions of "Let's Have a Kiki" and the crowd went wild.
"Juanita and I are both thrilled to have Jake back", Joshua J said. "The last time I saw him when the Scissors had a show and Juanita threw the after party at the Clift Hotel, he told me he really wanted to come back and DJ again. He has been looking forward to this as long as we have."
I know I am looking forward to it. We'll see you all there!

Man rams TN nuclear weapons plant
I'm curious to learn how it is he got away.
OAK RIDGE - A driver ran a checkpoint at a nuclear weapons plant early Monday and crashed into a barrier, then fled on foot, authorities said.
Guards at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant, a primary storehouse for bomb-grade uranium, said the man "appeared to be impaired in some way" when they stopped him around 5 a.m. at a security checkpoint near a rear entrance, spokesman Bill Wilburn said.
They asked him for identification, but the man hit the gas and drove through the checkpoint, then crashed into security barriers a short distance away, Wilburn said.
More here.
Breaking news from Fox, with dark, ominous music playing low in the background:
"Al Qaeda now making penetration tests, probing the possibility of hijacking nuclear weapons that could go off in the next 24 hours in a city somewhere in America?"
Details tonight on the HANNITY & colmes Show.
Broadcast journalism (or what often passes for it) hasn't been the same since Fox discovered the question mark.
