Stomping The Opposition

Wasn't "don't tread on me" a tea party slogan?



Down to the wire... Down in the gutter.



Said View co-host Joy Behar, on Tuesday: "I’d like to see her do this ad in the South Bronx... She’s going to hell, this bitch!"

Bomb Threat Prompts Precautions

By Glynnis MacNicol of Mediaite.com.

NPR reportedly received a bomb threat yesterday amidst a week of controversy over the firing of news analyst Juan Williams. From the Washington Post:

Sources at the news organization said the threat was received via U.S. mail and was immediately turned over to local police and the FBI. The organization did not publicly disclose the threat or release details, on the advice of law enforcement officials.

The letter didn’t reference the Williams firing specifically, but people at NPR, who spoke about it on the condition of anonymity, said the timing and tone suggested it was sent after Williams’ widely publicized termination.

The organization, which is based in Washington D.C., said:

“We’re taking extra precautions today,” NPR spokeswoman Anna Christopher said Tuesday, without saying what prompted the precautions. “We’re being more aware of who’s entering the building” and generally being more vigilant. She said the organization’s security staff has been making extra checks of the building’s garage.

The Rally to Restore Sanity seems to have gotten an endorsement in Tuesday’s New York Times crossword, courtesy of commie hippie editor Will Shortz.

His ability to boost the event's mojo may not match Oprah's, but be on the look out for "word nerds" in Saturday's crowd.
