Apparently you failed "government" class in high school. That's pretty typical around here, don't feel bad.

Grumble,
Glad to see you are such an expert on AQI....etc. etc.

Maybe you should offer your services to the TSA.

Just a thought.

If them terrorists target Chinese New Year, we'll all have to be on the lookout for the humbaos and dumplings from Hong Kong!

Guess I missed the significance of the day that the Cole was bombed, the first World Trade Center Bombing, Tuesday Sept 11 2001, the embassies in Africa.... and on and on. Xmas was a coincidence.

The only holiday they honor is Ramadamadingdong.
