  • No no no no no no no no. You have it all wrong. It's news when the twisty ties do NOT keep the hostage at bay!

  • Why can't you guys report the good news? I'm told that many of the better streets are meticulously well-kept and largely carnage-free.

  • It's like Rumsfeld yesterday talking about the press not reporting the bombs that don't go off.
