Whoops, there it is

Get scared. And this time, stay scared.

An intelligence official said there's a steady stream of information signaling that militants have nearly completed plans for attacks in the U.S., aimed at disrupting this fall's election.

...The intelligence source said the al-Qaida threat remains high from here on -- not necessarily peaking during this summer's party conventions or in early November.

...Ridge said officials don't have any specifics on when, where or how an attack would come.

Of course not. They passed up that chance on the 9/11 threat.

But, even though you're scared enough that you don't want to change horseshit in the middle of the road (but you don't mind doing without the director of the CIA), you get on out there and shop. Go to Disneyland.

If you live in Missouri, your real concern right now is that the beautiful spring weather that we've somehow been gifted with since April (for the first time in many, many years, we got a spring between winter and summer) has come to an end, and you know that now that the rain has stopped and the clouds have blown away, and you didn't get a chance to acclimatize (which you never do any more), those ninety degree temperatures starting right now, today, with relative humidity matching numbers are going to cook your code orange ass.

Welcome to summer, Missourians!
