Inter alia
Strangest question ever asked of a librarian (as far as I know):
A woman wanted to know if she could get "prostrate" cancer if she had intercourse with a man with it. Just odd in so many ways.
My job stinks, I work in an olfactory.
If you wear an a monitor attached to your ankle by order of the court it is best not to go to the beach, wear shorts, and drink beer at an outside bar. You will draw unwanted attention. I will call the cops, they will take you away in handcuffs.
Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 9/11 topped $100 million dollars in receipts. It is reported that this is a record for a documentary. I thought if you made stuff up it was fiction not a documentary. Sure The Dirty Dozen was a great movie about World War II, but it was indeed fictional. Moore's movie is about the war in Iraq, it too is fictional - he just didn't have to pay a lot of good actors. A couple of webistes I like about Moore and his movie.
Boston is an armed camp. Is it safe, no. There is no nothing that 3000 extra police officers, or 3 million extra police officers can do to provide real security. While an increased security presence is indeed warranted, the turing of the city into an armed camp is simply absurd. The Democrats are only demonstrating just how terrified they really are. There were 20 hijackers that planned and executed the attacks of 9/11/2001, 20 guys with back pack bombs, briefcase bombs, shoe bombs, TV camera bombs, or any of the other possible weapons named in media reports could and most probably would be as deadly as the aircraft piloted by lunatic jihadists were.
We can't go to extremes to protect events such as the conventions, the superbowl, parades, and or other large gathering. We must maintain constant vigilance, we use reasonable measures to protect ourselves and our country, but shutting down cities for a convention is far beyond what needs to be done. The problem is we fail to recognize that we must forever maintain constant vigilance, we must be more aware of our surroundings than we ever have before. Terrorists have attached the US and they think they can do it again. We can't let our guard down. If someone in Madrid had reported the abandoned bag on the train hundreds of people might still be alive.
By the way Farhenheit 9/11 is not the highest grossing documentary (even if we give Moore the leeway of calling it a documentary) ever. Everest grossed well over 120 million dollars. I guess that was another thing Moore made up. Everest has no faked headlines, no distorted truths, no conspiracy theories, and most importantly Everest does not insult, berate, and ridicule the honorable sailors, soilders, airmen and Marines serving their country.
