a smoking gun was an indication that a shot had been fired?

With all the smoking guns it would seem someone has been attacked? I must have blinked and missed it.

All I have seen is the Feb. Barrons that talks about how 308,000 jobs were flushed by this administration in Feb. alone.

I have also seen a dismal job market, sluggish retail sales, soaring oil prices that Bush would like to have us be distracted from.

In the year 66 CE, the Roman empire had similar domestic problems as well as an overinflated military cost structure incurred by maintaining a protective force over the known world.

Their solution was to divert the public attention by starting games in the colleseum and allowing betting on the outcomes of blood sport.

Wow, Duhbya is a student of history. We will soon see our blood-sport on CNN to accompany our evening meal.
