"No" Terrorist Attacks

I've seen some buzz about how Dana Perino said on Sean Hannity's show that "[the US] did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term." The next day, she posted on twitter that she meant post 9/11. Fair enough, except for the following:

Anthrax
DC Sniper
Ohio Sniper
Virginia Tech

Any others I'm forgetting?

So she's right, if you are willing to exclude those four (and of course the 9/11 attacks themselves).

Sorry, 5≠0.

Super Talented

I had tickets to see The Swell Season when they were in Boston earlier this year, but ended up traveling for work and missed the show. I'm glad to see that they are still touring. Apparently, at a recent LA show, Jason Segel came up on stage and performed. Pretty good stuff:


I stand by my earlier contention that Jeff Zucker absolutely destroyed NBC and its long-term future and it's absurd that he a) still has a job and b) is likely to get some kind of major pay-day from the Comcast/NBCU/GE/Vivendi deal. Horrrrrrrrrrrendous.
