now what did you say?

....is more full of shit than a septic tank....Texas City has never been called 'Phoenix' City because of the 1947 explosion...I've lived in Houston for over 30 yrs and I've never heard a single person ever call it that...and I'm a former KPFT programmer and I would know if anyone had,....May must have been hitting the airplane glue when he wrote put together that crap sandwich

Well, that answers that. I mean the 'former' aspect.
"former KPFT programmer "
lord lox working for a Pacifica station. What was the matter? Wasn't KPFT 'friendly' enough for you?

As for another 'terror' event, I'm in agreement with Webster Tarpley as the moles and real terrorists in the national machine will continue to provide stooges like the underwear bomber who was ushered onto the airlines, through a high security port for a media spectacle. Or the BS bomber from Virginia Tech. Or the two vanished shooters at Ft. Hood.
Or the terminal FBI suspect in the Anthrax episode.
You see, terrorism is all around us in the form of a national security state.
It's good that nothing* happened. Another good day.

* I mean except the 5.2 Quake in Oklahoma. That was cool.

Actually I got along fine with most of the volunteer staff at KPFT...but as we all know,Pacifica management types tend to be a bit self important,egocentric,and counterproductive....consequently the new incoming KPFT manager...Jean Palmquist...who was responsible for hiring the infamous Garland Ganther....declared me 'permanently banished' from KPFT because,she said,I constituted a "threat to the station's license"...which I guess is sort of a left handed compliment....I had no idea I was that influential...go figure
