You may notice I picked different sources for each of the three bombs found for credibility's sake.  It's also worth noting Little Green Footballs was of a help w/ finding the first two links.

Granted, the Republican 4 hotshots aren't much better but at least the Rudy campaign homepage has several links to Giuliani replies.  At least Sir Giuliani realizes the terrorists' war on us is priority #1.

Seattle Schools has a long history of this absurd obsession with racial diversity.  See these posts:
