Once again it was found in a building that is home to a media organization. (Namely NBC) This case of anthrax is of the kind that affects the skin and it isn't as serious as the 3 cases in Florida. Here's a link.
There's a "u" in "fourth"

Very good.

Affects. Effects is the consequences of causes.

Damn it. Sorry about that. It's like the freaking post error police here. Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
That should be "post-error," MIB.
All kidding and light-hearted attempts at humor aside, this is really getting be scary in and of itself. Three cases of anthrax in Florida at the headquarters for the Sun and National Enquirer. Now a fourth case that was in an envelope destined for Tom Brokaw. Whoever is behind this seems to be targeting media giants and personalities.

If this were another terrorist attack, it wouldn't be a very effective one. Anthraxing the population one person at a time? That's going to take a while...

Let's see... 300 million people, at 34 cents a stamp...

Obviously someone has become a new-age "Unibomber"...

Maybe it's the Right-Wing ... they finally decided to do something about the "liberal bias" in the media

I ain't touching that allegation with a ten-foot Rush Limbaugh. Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
Speaking of Rush Limbaugh, I just read an article saying that he announced he is going deaf. His hear has already been failing him and he says he'll be totally deaf by mid-next year. Oh well, sucks for him...

So, the Tally-boys are using germ warfare, hm?
Now, I don't want to suggest that this should be our retaliatory action, but... has anyone ever heard that song, "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better?"
Attack me one, shame on you. Attack me twice, turn to goo.

I guess you missed the thread devoted to Herr Limbaugh's loss of hearing. It's very amusing.
The thread, I mean, not his loss of hearing.

That's something I really miss about New York--the headlines on the newspapers. I got a really good laugh when I saw the New York Post on Monday with the headline of "TALI-BAM!" No one else around me saw the amusement factor. They followed it up the next day with "KABULSEYE!"

I bet it's some psycho like the Unabomber skilled in medical research. He's probably using the terrorist attacks to get his deadly idea attention. But that's my theory. It seems to small-scale for terrorists.

Well, I don't go to the Flameboard.....
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Check the story posted in the new thread about the anthrax stuff. There's been a case in Nevada, which came in an envelope mailed from Malaysia, and the letter in New York came from New Jersey. This would not seem to be a single person doing this...
Posted by Veers (Member # 661) on :
OK, maybe this has larger implications. Anyone watch ABC's "This Week?" There was some pretty good talk about the anthrax reports.
