Once more, a terror attack, this time in London. Many dead, and a lot more injured. It shows how these things can happen at any time, at any place, without warning. The Bush administration has already cranked up the fear machine, saying we need to be more vigilant. What if it was Bin Laden or a splinter group and the British find him now. What would Bush say about that?

Fear drives the news today. Don't go in the water, because there are sharks. Don't go on an Aruban vacation, because you'll get kidnapped. The height of comedy was the Headline News program, "Showbiz Tonight". They had a report on what plans, if any, the major studios had to the bombings. Of course, nothing changed.

The strangest theory had to be the potential Olympic connection. Can you imagine terrorists even caring about that? The theory falls apart when you realize if they did care, they would have had to have bombings set up in five different cities. Then call off the plans in the other four and direct all attention to London, when it was awarded the 2012 games. Plus you would be conveniently forgetting about G8. Doesn't hold water.

My advice is to say a prayer for the dead, read the lyrics to a song like "Imagine" and try to have fun with life, because you never know.

They have a new police chief in Nuevo Laredo. I'm hoping he's renting. "Our last sheriff was a good organizer. Yellow clear through, but a good organizer."
