09/11/01: Random musings about your random thoughts about today's events

Posted By: Joe_Average


-I'd REALLY hate to be Osama bin Laden right now. That asshole is going to get his, but good.

Amen, sister. And I hope that particular piece of carbon's remaining days are filled with the neverending dread that there are a whole bunch of people anxious to see him reach room temperature.

-Good thing we know about ObL's politics, but who ELSE is out there dreaming up more horrible stuff.

Someone is always willing to raise the bar in every form of human endeavor. I am sure that somewhere there is someone who will outdo Bin Laden given time.

-I bet Trump's rubbing his hands and salivating over the real estate possibilites. "Trump's world trade center"

A joke, right? Not terribly funny, but a joke.

-Dan Rather by far, has outpaced all the other news anchors making them ALL look like amateurs. Brokaw, sounds drunk and tired. Jennings is an IDIOT!

I'd have to agree with you on that. Actually, I thought CNN's coverage was better than CBS.

-How sad is it that Tony Blair's speach comforted me more than Bush's?

Sad indeed, but we don't really expect a whole lot out of Bush, do we? And that is sadder still.

-Suddenly, all my station's stock footage of NYC has become obsolete.

Well, the Bronx is still up and the Battery's down.

-Suddenly, all my old postcards of NYC have become valuable.

And I have never saved any of mine.

-I really hope the rescue people come out of this OK.

Yeah, for all the jibberjabber going on in some of the threads about how the terrorists are cowards or are heroes, the ones who are truly heroes are the firefighters, cops, and volunteers who willingly put their lives on the line on the chance that they might just be able to save someone else. And I don't give a shit who calls me a trite bastard for saying that.

-I don't thing bombing Kabul, Afganistan will prompt the Taliban to hand over bin Laden. In fact, I think this will make it worse.

You're right. The government, if they are really serious about hunting down and bringing these people to justice, is going to have to hunker down and do the hard work of investigation and following leads and quietly pursue these cretins to the ends of the Earth. We need more sleuths and fewer Tomahawks.

-I bet you Matt Lauer is pissed that they took Couric to the Jersey shore and left him in Rockefeller Center (which has been evac'd) But shit, they just paid MILLIONS for her new contract. Gotta protect their investment.

Gee, in my list of 10,000 things to give a shit about, the fate of some network talents' contracts just doesn't even rise to footnote level.

-has anyone heard from LRT?

He has posted in the first forum that he is OK.

-I hope my cousin's ok.

Me too.
