I want to know what exactly is being bombed? Surely most of the country is dust anyway?

Well, the Afghanis (made from dust), have buildings (built from dust), in which they amass very deadly dust from other countries (populated with other people made from dust) and plan to spread said deadly dust to us (also made from dust), causing us to return to our sedimentary origins.

The Dust War now in perspective?

Huh. Clicked on that, got a "cannot find server" error.

Is the entire govt closed down from the 'thrax at this point, or is it just my DNS problem?

Bitchslap that DNS of yours UT. I was tooling around on the government sites earlier today and they're all up and running. Just tried the link and the White House site, and they came up fine.

This could mean something...

Could it be a server problem on the East Coast tonight? Or...

Apparently, the government is monitoring the Cellar. Tony, they don't like the images as much as the rest of us. Hubris, they just didn't get the Hello Kitty deal. I'm next for using a Spanish title...they're on the English as the official language kick again. Jag should be after me...they just don't trust the Aussie youth.
