Are you another of those souls whose brain was fried by the "hanging chads" during the 2000 election? Oh I forgot it was a conspiracy by nine of the best legal minds in the world---get over it.

"...They were supported by US Navy aircraft which dropped 40,000 pounds of explosives and napalm, a US officer told the Herald..."

What, in the name of all that is holy, is road food?

Either, I assume, it must be what Bertha and Fred provide in their diner on Highway 1 (we have no highway 2 or 3, just 1, being a humble country) or it is anything found under the wheels while driving down the non-optional, but magnificently scenic, number 1.

Kara, I heard on the radio (NPR) a description of a mushroom cloud but no one seemed to pick up on it. That was much earlier today, though I've had the radio on in the background most of the time and can't remember exactly when...

LittleK -- Most people from Boston/Cambridge can read. I knew that. What I can't imagine is a taco place in Harvard Square. There used to be a Chinese restaurant which used so much MSG that we'd go reeling out of there....

In Canada, road food is what you find on the road, right?

In re the mushroom cloud - I heard that on npr too. The MOAB will make a huge mushroom cloud of dust (I pressume) without being terribly toxic. Just big, loud and devastating.



The Hong Kong?

ehehe, my brain was freedom-fried! no less! for news try also www.mediachannel.com one of the best information web pages I have ever encountered. I have heard about a web from Baghdad, kept up by one guy who goes by Bolh, or Holg, or Golbh or something like that. Does anyone know the link? That is if the web is still up, it may have been cut by now.

It might be wise to hold any urge to form conclusions about the "death and destruction". It may be difficult to find any women and children supposedly killed by the bombs. I remind you of a story of the Iraqi information ministry loading independent journalists on a bus to show the death and destruction of the first attack. They drove around for about an hour and never did find the destruction.

right, and maybe we should hold our assumption that there are scud missiles being fired and burning oil wells as well.

Given that road food is the pancaked gloop...may I enquire as to how one goes about judging quality?
