teleidoplexYesterday, Condoleezza Rice testified regarding the government's knowlege of and reaction to 9/11. Today in U.S.A. Today's National news section, we have the following stories:
Texas woman who killed her two sons says God told her to do it, and was surprised when the eldest didn't rise from the dead on his 9th birthday.
Walt Disney World employee accused of molesting a 13-year-old girl and her mother while dressed as Tigger.
9-year-old girl arrested for stealing a rabbit.
Man claiming to be God kills 9 of his children.
Check this link for a full run of the articles.

You'll notice that in the *National News Section* there is nothing about anything of importance to the nation, and that many of the stories seem like local or even offbeat stories. There is one article on Rice's testimony in the Washington section.
Makes me wonder what's going on that they're trying to distract us from. I'm going to go check out the international papers now to see if I can find out.
More and more, my country scares me.

The dude asks her whether the govt was warned in a particular bulletin that terrorist actions might occur in the U.S. Rice said, no that bulletin was a historical document, and they knew of terrorist threats *outside* the U.S. So the guy asks her if she recalls the title of the bulletin. She says without missing a beat "Osama bin Laden determined to attack within the U.S."
Sigh.
Or asked about whether the govt had been given a suggested plan for dealing with this threat...she said no, they had received a list of "actionable items." WTF??? I'm sorry, I guess I'm retarded, cause I could have *sworn* that a possible definition of "plan" was "actionable items."
Double sigh.
Oh, and the reruns are on at 6 tonight, but I guess with the Interlude, that's a no go.
