Somewhere I knew that previously, but hadn’t thought about it in years....it’s just that 9/11 was here, so it’s still 9/11 to me.

Nothing to see here, just a coincidence ask the Muslim in the White House. He’ll tell you!

Kind of an odd time day to do this unless it is a jihadist test or common criminal like a pyromaniac.

Good time of day to get away with it unseen, however.

Shows he isn’t American. Most of the rest of the world it is dd/mm/yyyy as opposed to our mm/dd/yyyy

Trivial point, but in Japan it's yy/mm/dd, with the "yy" being, at least for the last few centuries, the year of the reign of the present Emperor. Today is 27/01/13, with the 27 being the 27th year of the Heisei (HAY-say) era, which will continue until Emperor Akihito dies--at which point he stops being Akihito and becomes the Emperor Heisei, just as his father Hirohito is now referred to as the Emperor Showa.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

That is true, but unless it is a trial run, bad timing since rush hour is hours later.

I wonder if Lloyd’s of London will ever sell Muslim insurance?

I will be fine with using the dd/mm/yyyy for the events in Europe, however, our worst terrorist attack happened on 9/11 and that’s how it works in America. Foreigners should respect that, but then again the Muslim barbarians are not respectful of anything.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times, it’s enemy action.

“The underground blaze that caused temporary disruptions at Penn Station in Manhattan early Tuesday has been ruled accidental,........ fire officials tell NBC 4 New York, rolling back initial FDNY assessments...... that the cause of the fire appeared to be suspicious in nature.”

Sure Sure
