Anthrax scare

[The Great Quail]

What Doug left out:

"[...] Over the years, these threats have been characterized in the 
media as a hoax, since in each case the letters ultimately turned out 
not to contain anthrax. But this time, the threats to abortion 
providers are being taken very seriously. Attorney General John 
Ashcroft in a press conference on Tuesday emphasized that threats 
that involved biological agents or toxins are violations of federal 
law, and will be prosecuted. What used to be termed hoaxes, he said, 
are "no joking matter" and constitute "grotesque transgressions of 
the public trust."

I think it goes without saying that everyone here hopes that these 
letters continue to be hoaxes, unlike the current wave directed at 
politicians and the media, and that the sick fucks who did this are 
found and thrown in jail to be buggered until the Parousia.

Oh, and as I am sure you all know by now (CNN email updates?), There 
is now confirmed Anthrax spores at Pataki's NYC office.

Better hope deferred than none. Up to a point. Till the heart starts to sicken.
Company too up to a point. Better a sick heart than none. Till it 
starts to break.
So speaking of himself he concludes for the time being,
For the time being leave it at that.
