    On the bright side, Rio (and Brazil in general) would likely have a significant amount of child-bearing age females who survive the flood and help to re-populate the world. #2012

    The only good thing about 2012 was watching LA get annihilated. That was highly satisfying. The rest...shrug. #2012

    My favorite part of all this is assholes like Peter King saying we shouldn't be trying these people in New York because it makes New York a terrorist target. Uh.... ?

    Also. Where were idiots like him when dudes like Ramseh Yousef were on trial here? Oh, I guess he only reads the memos about terrorists who kill more than 2,000 people at a pop.

    One last point. I can't see how executing these guys is a punishment. If I were them, it'd be exactly what I'm hoping for. Let's see - the next 50 years rotting in solitary confinement in a maximum security federal prison, or a quick martyrdom that takes me to my 72 virgins? Hmmm, tough choice there.

    I'm not necessarily against the death penalty because it's barbaric (though it is), I'm mostly against it because it's just not a very tough punishment against people who clearly don't care about human life to begin with, including their own. #headlines

    This should have happened years ago. Our criminal justice system is one of the many things that sets us apart from the world's many authoritarian, anti-democratic regimes. If indeed we were attacked for our freedom, it's manifested in our willingness to have an open and transparent court system, not our $3 toasters.

    I wonder if that headline is referring to all Muslims..........or just the terrorist ones who were responsible for the 9-11 tragedy?

    @Buttafooco: Since it specifically mentions the 9/11 fiends, I think you already know the answer. No need to try and ruffle feathers.
    If you were kidding, or being sarcastic, I apologize, but when it comes to things like this, some people like to stir the pot and I feel like that's what you were trying to do. #headlines

    @Topheel: if you've accidentally come across any of my posts, you'd realize almost all of them take a sarcastic/humorous slant. In this case, it was purely sarcastic, given the blatant racial undertones of many stories that comes via the NY Post.
    Sometimes our feathers become ruffled as a result of the insecure winds blowing through them. #headlines

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but part of me was waiting for the NYPost response. It was always going to be ridiculous, dramatic & insane. Why do I enjoy that?

    For what it's worth, I'm often disappointed by justice system, but I also believe in it. I can't imagine that Holder & the Obama Admin would have ever made this move unless they felt they could win in a legitimate, legally substantiated way. Call me naive, but there are too many well-educated lawyers in this admin - including Obama - to convince me otherwise.

    Regardless, assuming - which I am - they're fucking guilty & not just raving lunatics who actually want credit for (there are not really words) what happened that day, I want to seem them convicted legitimately & face the consequences. Which hopefully will be getting attacked by other inmates in whatever prison they're put in. Or execution.

    But on point on story, in the next years, I can't wait to see if the NY Post goes all "NYers can face anything" or the "Terrorists shouldn't be brought back to the city they attacked." Personally, I feel & hope they go the former. #headlines

    @marin79: I'm confident that they'll win it. The prosecutors are from before the Obama administration, so we know they're competent.

    Lest we forget the uproar over "The Simpsons" Brazil episode, where Homer gets kidnapped and little orphan Ronaldo is attacked by monkeys ("I am like sugar to them!"). No sense of humor, that country.

    Brazil, as a nation, is incomparably conspiratorial and petulant when it comes to the most mild criticism or even simple observation of their national problems (of which there are many).

    Last year my work took me to Sao Paulo about once a month for almost a full year, and it was interesting to say the least.

    Makes me long for the pot candy stores in NY back in the 80's. A window display that held a couple of rancid YooHoos, shelves that held several packs of gum and packages of plantain chips, and a line out the door, especially on weekends.

    Apparently this dude was too young or well-behaved to be acquainted with Brownie's. That was nothing BUT a coke bar and they certainly didn't rove.
