FEDS SEE ORANGE FOURTH OF JULY... DEVELOPING...

(above the lead headline - that's it; I'm presuming a story is coming shortly...)

[mhking]

More seriously, I'm driving to Chicago (Gary) Thursday for my brother's wedding and driving back next Tuesday. This ain't changing my plans. I'd say keep your eyes open and put the hammer down...

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

You know, eventually....

This is just CYA, the feds have no frickin' clue which end is up.

[Snowy]

Now that's funny. FR needs to update its Shower Alert System

Do you mean like, "massage", "gentle stream", "pulsating"?

[b4its2late]

What would surprise me would be if they didn't go to orange......

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."... -- H.L. Mencken

It seems to 'fit'.

[blam]

"Hmmmm. New Orleans to Indianoplace via Detroit. Nowhere near Texas, last I checked...[g]"

Don't Mess With Texas."

[CitizenSailorChief]

Oh, I thought for a second that the government was going to bring some of the Orange Order marches over here this year
: )

Well, the season is approaching.

[Lijahsbubbe]

I am scheduled to go to Indianapolois from New Orleans via Detroit, should I make this trip?

Maybe you should 'Ask the Imam'.

[OldFriend]

Drudge was mentioning this on his Sunday night show. That is between his hysterics about Gates and spam and the very thought that there would be cameras in public spaces.....

[ctlpdad]

if chinese fireworks commercially available in some states are considered a terrorist threat, than there will be some small terrorist activity in Branford for the fourth, as well as some imbibing the demon brew from St. Louis.

[steveegg]

I see Tropicana's efforts are working...

I live in Texas and they sell fireworks here. That scares me a heck of a lot more than any terrorist attack.

What makes orange fireworks?

The origin of fireworks go back about a thousand years, when the Chinese invented black powder. This black powder continues to be a major component of modern day fireworks. Pyrotechnic compositions have an oxidiser, fuel, and special effects, which produce the different colors.

ORANGE fireworks are created by calcium salts, such as calcium chloride and calcium sulfate. The range of wavelengths associated with orange fireworks includes several bands, 591-599nm, with the most intense band being 603-608nm.

>>>> so, when the wife starts putting up holiday decorations, strap on an extra spare mag, throw the backup riotgun in the trunk, and enjoy the holiday weekend. easy.

bang!

[SJSAMPLE]

July 4th "coincides" with my annual shutzenfest. I figure on killing a thousand rounds of 5.56mm and a boatload of 9mm and .40SW. May me and the ragheads can arrange a little "get together"?

[TERMINATTOR]

You seem to be implying that the previous alerts were a failure. It's it as likely that they were sucessfull, and attacks were prevented?

Militia - Got Liberty?

[floriduh voter]

Americans gather together in large groups on holidays which are either based upon our independence or on our religious freedoms. They will probably be looking for soft targets.

I think they will be planting chatter and probably have in the past as a diversion.

[floriduh voter]

We have two choices: Be vigilant or be afraid. Of course I wonder "what if" because we do have porous borders that concerns me. Who is coming and going and do we know about it? I never do anything on the 4th anyway.
