Did the contents of every septic tank in america just hit the fan

I mean Jesus H. Christmas, where do you start. The Russians stole the explosives? Yeah right. Thanks to an ABC affiliate in Minnesota, we can see a video of the "missing" explosives from a team that they had embedded with the 101st airborn.


CARE is getting out of dodge.

Guliani is blaming the troops.

Jeanne has a timeline of the missing explosives.

I would like to point out to the regulars around here that as the pace of the crapstorm leading up to the final day of the election has reached levels I would have previoulsly thought unlikely, I have found a profound difficulty to express myself of late. My Brain is tired. I feel like a one eyed cheetah trying to focus on a herd of zebra as they fly by, an indistinguishable curtain of black and white. In any event I pray that this is a temporary setback, and that my tank of snarky invective will be filled again.
