It's Rudy!
They Keep Going After Rudy!


Well, hell, if that's all they want...

Maybe we should just hand Rudy over and let them have the putz, hell, WE don't want him. They can HAVE him.

Dallas Morning News: Man to be arraigned in Dallas skyscraper bombing plot

Heady police work and a staggering degree of luck saved the day in Dallas, if this report is true at all. If true, we can truly be relieved and grateful.

But I loved seeing the real nitty-gritty of this event, buried at the bottom of this story:
ABOUT FOUNTAIN PLACE
Address: 1445 Ross Ave.
Height: 60 stories
Construction: 1984-86
Architect: I.M. Pei & Partners
Major tenants:
•Wells Fargo Home Mortgage
Bracewell & Giuliani – On March 31, 2005, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani joined the firm as a name partner.
•U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
•Fidelity National Title Insurance Co.
•Tenet Healthcare announced in August that it planned to relocate to Fountain Place.

Looking at that list, it seems like either this guy was pissed about a home foreclosure, or he was after Rudy.

Hmmmm, let's see...

The first WTC bombing was in 1993 when Rudy was running for Mayor; the second attack in 2001 brought down Rudy's brand new Emergency Command Center/bachelor pad, which he stupidly put inside a major target; they missed him the last time (see these infamous pictures of Rudy hauling ass away from the tower to save himself, dragging along the Police and Fire Commissioners whose jobs dictated that they be back at the towers coordinating the mission, not riding shotgun with their patron, the Mayor); upon leaving City Hall, Rudy hires out as a security/terrorism maven/consultant/expert, since no one knows how to run away from a fight like Rudy.

Well..., yeah, I guess that must be it.

Say: Let's just give them Rudy and be done with this whole terrorism thing.

Here's a calculator to help you get a clearer picture of just how you'd make out under Obama's tax plan, rather than just extending the Bush tax cuts which is all that McCain is proposing.
