I even got banned from one because the blogger doesn't like me or my "tone" ("ya" hear about the attack that wasn't this week?)...thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of people spent the week thinking we'd get atatcked and now are even more desensitized to the time when a real attack comes. But here's my take on what you've posted: - I don't know what an inert grenade is...could it be one that wasn't live? They do now allow certain knives on board (plus, we all know that TSA is broken - or never was whole) - the Taliban have loads of sources of guns and money, although the poppy crop is a big part of it. But saying that "NATO" is going to go and do something, and NATO actually doing it (well) is another thing. - the Somalia situation is going to blow up, and the US just reduced its Africa Corps presence. Piracy is up, largely because of poverty and the influx of extremists. - since I've moved to Texas, I've seen dumbassess every day, and not all of them were drunk. - I spoke this afternoon with a guy who knows about this stuff and his comment was that the problem is not the stock market, its the credit market. Remember my rant from a couple of weeks ago? <a href="http://stormwarning.moonagewebdream.com/2008/09/26/leveraging-bad-mortgages-not-pc/" rel="nofollow">Leveraging Bad Mortgages</a> Bottom line is that people who played by the rules get screwed. Fred, you know…I’ve been busy alot this week, but spent some time reading and commenting on other blogs (silly me!). I even got banned from one because the blogger doesn’t like me or my “tone” (“ya” hear about the attack that wasn’t this week?)…thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of people spent the week thinking we’d get atatcked and now are even more desensitized to the time when a real attack comes.

But here’s my take on what you’ve posted:

- I don’t know what an inert grenade is…could it be one that wasn’t live? They do now allow certain knives on board (plus, we all know that TSA is broken – or never was whole)

- the Taliban have loads of sources of guns and money, although the poppy crop is a big part of it. But saying that “NATO” is going to go and do something, and NATO actually doing it (well) is another thing.

- the Somalia situation is going to blow up, and the US just reduced its Africa Corps presence. Piracy is up, largely because of poverty and the influx of extremists.

- since I’ve moved to Texas, I’ve seen dumbassess every day, and not all of them were drunk.

- I spoke this afternoon with a guy who knows about this stuff and his comment was that the problem is not the stock market, its the credit market.

Leveraging Bad Mortgages

Bottom line is that people who played by the rules get screwed.
