    Another threat warning by the FBI for NYC. Landmarks might be targeted. Reminded me of a bit of out a Dr. Suess book. "That's a noise," grinned the Grinch, "That I simply MUST hear!" So he paused. And the Grinch put his hand to his ear. And he did hear a sound rising over the snow. It started in low. Then it started to grow... But the sound wasn't sad! Why, this sound sounded merry! It couldn't be so! But it WAS merry! VERY! He stared down at Who-ville! The Grinch popped his eyes! Then he shook! What he saw was a shocking surprise! Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small, Was singing! Without any presents at all! He HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME! Somehow or other, it came just the same! And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?" "It came with out ribbons! It came without tags!" "It came without packages, boxes or bags!" And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store." "Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!" Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

      I like this quote: She believes that the public should be warned, but she expresses frustration at how exactly she should act in light of the vague nature of the alerts. "If they don't have specifics, I don't understand how we can prepare." Ask Tom Daschle. :) Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document?

        It's a good way to get the focus off what Bush knew and when he knew it. Put out a bunch of phony terrorist warnings and FoxNews will jump all over it as though it were a real news story.

          They have to be extra careful now. If (God forbid) the terrorists do strike again and the FBI had even a small idea that it was going to happen, then they would take a lot of flack. Better to be safe than sorry. Of course crying wolf once to often and people will start ignoring the warnings - because as we know people are stupid. Michael :-)

            The FBI and Office of Homeland Security release new warnings and change our "alert color" so frequently that I have started losing faith. Besides, none of these alerts have been for San Diego, so I'm ok. I hope that's not too un-American of me. David Stone dstone@newcenturytitle.com

                              The EBS must have been phased out cause you never hear those tests anymore. I guess it was a remnant from the 50s "Duck and Cover" era. Like it or not, I'm right.

Then it started to grow... But the sound wasn't sad! Why, this sound sounded merry! It couldn't be so! But it WAS merry! VERY! He stared down at Who-ville! The Grinch popped his eyes! Then he shook! What he saw was a shocking surprise! Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small, Was singing! Without any presents at all! He HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME! Somehow or other, it came just the same! And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?" "It came with out ribbons! It came without tags!" "It came without packages, boxes or bags!" And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store." "Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!"

But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

                                      I'm taking my son to the Indy 500 this weekend - and I *am* worried dispite my best efforts not to be. "There's a slew of slip 'twixt cup and lip"

                                        The FBI and Office of Homeland Security release new warnings and change our "alert color" so frequently that I have started losing faith. Besides, none of these alerts have been for San Diego, so I'm ok. I hope that's not too un-American of me. David Stone dstone@newcenturytitle.com

                                        I have to agree. Of all the security alerts, not one of them, resulted in an interception of an attack and no attacks happened. Makes you question the credibility of these security alerts. Still, better to be safe than sorry.

                                          The EBS must have been phased out cause you never hear those tests anymore. I guess it was a remnant from the 50s "Duck and Cover" era. Like it or not, I'm right.
