| No retreat from the War on Terror
Go ahead, fall back and surrender. Yes, oh yes, the U.S. will be there AGAIN to save you, no matter what it costs us. And yes, like always, we won't take compensation, just a place to bury our dead. If the U.S. wasn't here, even with all the problems we can cause, how long do you think you'd already have before you would have to 'submit' to Islam? Think about it... honestly. Wanna take the chance? .
Christie invite 'a mistake'
Former sprinter Linford Christie will not take part in a relay carrying the Olympic torch through London, it has been confirmed. Christie received a letter from London Mayor Ken Livingstone inviting him to take part in April's torch procession, but a spokesman for the Mayor said it had been sent by mistake. The Mayor's spokesman said: "The decision to invite Linford Christie to be a torchbearer was not taken by the Mayor. The decision to invite Linford Christie was taken by officials and was a mistake." The 47-year-old has a lifetime Olympic ban after testing positive for the steroid nandrolone in 1999, and international Olympic officials condemned the decision to invite him to the torch event. Christie, who won gold in the 100m at the 1992 Barcelona games and has always denied taking the banned drug, was sent the letter "as a formality", the spokesman said.
Surge in killings outrages Oakland
A camera mounted at Gallagher's Liquors caught details from an earlier shooting, and the neighbors want more of them, he said. Janet Patterson, a resident manager at ACORN in West Oakland, said community members are organizing and supporting all sorts of worthy programs in an effort to get young people engaged, but it never seems to be enough. She said it's easy to feel hopeless when she sees the same faces on the street morning and night. Does she have a solution? "That's a million-dollar question with no answer," Patterson said. "We had a good opportunity to get the guns back, but this killing is still going on. "We have all these block parties and picnics to get to know each other, but the people who are armed with all the guns are not the ones participating in the solutions." -For more community resources visit insidebayarea.com, open Not Just a Number and click on community resources.

Whether truth or posturing, it's part of the American narrative to believe that, even as we live through the curse of interesting times, tomorrow's another day. Don't stop thinking about it, we sing _ it's always a day away. Beware, however. These days in America, tomorrow is something else, too, something more forbidding: It's yet another news cycle waiting to happen. .
