I was listening to Stephanie Miller on the way to work today. She had a caller who suggested that we all throw words like “al-qaeda” and “terrorist” randomly in to our everyday phone calls in order to bog down their phone tapping system. (supposedly, there is a computer that scans phone calls for certain words and phrases.)

Well. I thought it was funny……

Yes, millenniums.

It is surprising to me, but having just looked, Merriam-Websters lists millenniums as a valid plural form. So I'm going to now claim that I knew this all along.

Yeah, I can agree with that.

Personally, I don't think you need to apologize. Frustration is frustration. Vent it.

I might add... If the administration is so gung-ho on fighting terrorism, why is Bin Lauden still at large? Why is he not priority #1?

I see your REAL point of view by your typo, JW. You see Bin Laden as someone to be Lauded, and thus you have called him "Bin Lauden".

I'm just kidding. I'm bored at work and goofy.

I think it has to do with his relevance on the scene at present. I don't think he's calling the shots anymore. Would we love to have him? Oh yeah. Is it worth spending all of our resources on if we don't believe he is doing anything at present that can cause us more harm? No.

So, everyone call me so I can say the magic words.

Somehow fu<king with this whole ridiculous things sounds fun to me.

I read that as Bin Lauder. "Osama by Este Bin Lauder - The fragrance for your special cave moments."
