I'm watching Aaron Brown on CNN, and he reminds me of Mr. Rogers. He's Mr. Rogers for adults who watch the news; his voice is so calm. He could reporting the worse kind of violent news, but since he sounds so calm and collected, anyone listening to him won't freak out very much.

Is this Aaron Brown's appeal?

I'm really bothered that the Iraqis are not putting up any resistance. Are they luring us to Bagdad like a trojan horse, and then they'll start attacking. I don't like this. I'm not a military strategist, but it all looks way to easy, like we're being set up either for an ambush or for the media to say "look how the imperialist americans have run over poor Iraq".

I heard on the radio that the perimeter around Bagdad is heavily fortified and boobytrapped. Maybe we could precision bomb the perimeter before going in, like that scene from the new James Bond movie where the bad guys laser out the land mines to South Korea.

Those antiwar protestors. SFGate reported that Molotov cocktail material found near wher the antiwar protestestor were meeting today. Once the protests start doing violent and destructive things, the police will have no choice but totally crack down. The violent ones are ruining it for the rest of the peaceful ones. I don't know why I care. It's such evil and bad karma on the part of the protestors, that if SFPD decides to try some Sadam Hussein tactics and go violent on the antiwar protestors then I say they deserve it. How dumb and stupid can you get. They say they're for peace, yet they use violence to get what they want.

And My silly mayor Willie Brown will take major heat for not cracking down sooner. They say San Francisco is ground zero for antiwar protests, and that's fine, but once things get violent and crazy, the city will have no choice but to respond and the final result will be the outlaw of protests in San Francisco for a long time. Just you watch!

Spooky! There are rumors on the Net and the radio that we could go to red alert. They're saying it means that we might not be able to go outside. No one knows what it means. When they announced the Rodney King verdict, SF went through a city-wide curfew. That was a pretty frightening experience. There was such an air of violence in the air.

More North and South Korea madness. South Korea went to its second highest alert in 7 years, and Japan is warning North Korea.

There are reports saying there are Mexican troops on our border, but no one knows why. There are also rumors about stuff happening at the Palos Verdes nuclear power plant in Arizona. And what's up with the French finding that poison ricin in their subway.

Rumors, rumors, rumors. All we need now is a terrorist attack in our country. If that ever happens, there will be more than night curfews to deal with.

From a story on Yahoo:

"While anti-war protesters shut down streets around Civic Center, Mayor Willie Brown said the Police Department will keep the streets open and the city will run "business as usual." He also said the protesters who shut down traffic were counterproductive.

"I've got to assume that these people are so misguided that they are actually aiding the enemy by doing what they are doing," Brown said. "Most of these people who are being arrested and have been arrested, probably more than 75 or 80 percent, are not San Franciscans. I just wish they'd stay in their own communities and protest rather than put the expense on us."

I wonder if we can get money from the protestors' communities to pay for the anti-war protests march. The San Francisco Unified School District said they might lay off 1,000 teachers. Wanna bet that number goes up now that the City has to pay for these anti-war protests? Wanna bet the City of San Francisco will start cutting more social services for the poor, needy and elderly and start laying off more people to pay for the anti-war protests?
