I'd say about 14 degrees right now in DC.

Freezing, but it wont stop us!

[Pippin]

Good morning, Aeronaut! Now that's a picture!

[Aeronaut]

Good luck, stay safe! (Kick butt if necessary).

[Pippin]

Will Do!

[netmilsmom]

Godspeed. We are praying that all will go well. My heart aches that I can't be there, so prayers are all I can give...

[Pippin]

Your prayers are welcome and we know you are her in spirit!

Stuck at work in STL. Godspeed guys.

Joel's MSNBC interview was just 'teased.' They should come back to him after the break.

Did I miss it or was the tease for later in the hour?

I have been checking the other channels, and haven't heard even a tease!

Is there some way, with instructions, to participate in FR threads with an AIM type device?

Say hi to Fred Mertz. Get him a mic and turn him loose. Tell 'em like it is Fred!

as you watch the news coverage of today's anti-war protestors, remember these people (see NYTimes link below) and that they know what's coming and have said their good-byes, tallyho ...rto

Tears Are the Rule of the Day as an American Armada Leaves

January 18, 2003 By CHARLIE LeDUFF

In the biggest local deployment since the 1990-91 Gulf war buildup, some 10,000 sailors and marines left San Diego on Friday.

"The way I see it, no one is changing their living habits," Sergeant Hall, a long, tall straightforward man, said. "No one is preparing for war or going with less."

Coming up next on MSNBC... "Chilling Video" of what could have happened if the shoe bomber had not been neutrilized by the passengers. (this is the video where the whole front of the plane is blown off and is not accurate, according to some explosives experts) They say the most they could fit in shoes would be about 8 ounces.

Have a great day DC Chapter! Wish I could be there.

It is zero here in Ohio today, why does it seem these rallies always take place in winter?

[Timesink]

Any clues as to how many unwashed-hair types are actually going to show up? Given that it's only about 16° in Washington right now, with a wind chill of 4°, I somehow doubt they're going to get anywhere near the 100,000 Moron March they've been predicting.

[OReilly]

I somehow doubt they're going to get anywhere near the 100,000 Moron March they've been predicting.

The Park Police said the permit is for 30,000. The organizers said this morning there would be 200,000 in DC and 100,000 in SFO. The various news readers have been saying 'thousands' of various denominations.

[Pippin]

Thanks for the link, Visitor, I couldn't read through it with out tears in my eyes. this is what I find upsetting about those anti war protesters.

They don't realize whats at steak here or the sacrifices made by these service men and women and thier families and friends they are going to protect.

[gramho12]

Have a great day, Foot Soldiers of FR! Because of you our country and President are being upheld.

For all of us who cannot be there, you have our prayers and steady WARM thoughts coming your way.

[Pippin]

Amen!
