...Reading the Signs Amanda Ripley was correct that constant exaggerations concerning terrorist threats will make us less safe [June 18]. She points out the dangers of using terrorism for political gain. The color-coded terrorism warnings during the 2004 presidential campaign were a cynical example of that bombast. The drumbeat from pro-Iraq-war elements aims to reassure us that we're fighting terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them within our borders. The episode at Fort Dix in New Jersey, no matter how dumb the plotters were, is proof positive that terrorism can occur...

He throws corks at the camera, spills wine as he shoves the glass at the camera to show the color and yells at "lurkers" who don't post comments on his site. He aggressively plays to the CKC (college-kid crew). In one episode, to teach viewers to train their palate, he took off his sweaty sock and sucked on it to demonstrate what he means by earthy Old World...
Eighteen years from now an old curtain will rise to expose a production that will pave the path for African and European unification once again. The deep blue color of the Mediterranean Sea will not lose a twinkle, the Strait of Gibraltar will still separate Spain from Morocco, but the underlying sea bed—and possibly Spanish-Moroccan relations—will never be the same again. No, it isn’t a miscalculation of a Pangea Ultima configuration; the governments of Spain and Morocco just agreed to construct an underwater tunnel to connect their rail systems...
