Last night, the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission met to discuss possibly designating a building on Park Place, north of Wall Street, as a landmark. Of course, the hearing was not about architecture. It was about saving us from THE OTHER.

Dan Quayle takes to the editorial page of (surprise!) the Washington Post to tell Republicans to embrace Teabaggers. He has some important historical lessons for his fellow Republicans, about these grassroots movements.

United Airlines ordered tech writer John Battelle to stop video chatting with his daughters because "maybe I could communicate with a terrorist on the ground." Other in-flight wifi uses were OK, since terrorist don't tweet or email. (Pic)

Here is a story that maybe should be "getting more play:" Al Qaeda is "certain" to attack America in the next six months—possibly killing you in the process. Even worse, other enemies are preparing to rain terror from above.

You can watch the entire miserable segment here, if you are in too good a mood this morning! George just lets Rudy babble on and on and on, without bothering to correct or challenge him, on anything. Like, for example, in addition to 9/11, some other guy did the exact same thing as this underwear bomber did, in December of 2001, only with a shoe, instead of underwear. And everyone knows and remembers this. George remembers this! But why bother to bring it up?

Are US Army wives "doing all they can" to help win the War on Terror, if you know what we mean? (We mean are they being strippers, at home, enough??).

2009 will be remembered for a lot of things. Those things will probably be remembered better if we mash 'em up and autotune them.

Here is the new thing for you to worry about, in terms of your own unavoidable violent death: Al Qaeda is now smuggling bombs inside their rectums. There is no hope of detection until it blows.

On this day eight years ago, four commercial airplanes were hijacked and crashed into buildings and a field. Thousands died. This is the first anniversary of that terrible day, though, that the Terrorists will not still be winning.

Michael Gerson says we should never, ever, ever accuse anyone of behaving like a Nazi, because the Nazis were super, super evil.

It is worth remembering that Woodstock sucked. It's like an entire generation is trying to convince us that this one Warped Tour show they went to was seriously epochal. [WSJ via Pat's Papers]

Lock and load, New Yorkers. A terrorist has just entered the island of Manhattan. We also have a pirate here, and Bernie Madoff, cause we are the baddest, yea! But seriously, a terrorist is here, to kill you.

Peter Thiel, the Facebook investor and PayPal co-founder, has never been shy about making incendiary statements. Now he's turned his guns on us.

Oh, shock, the White House just fired Louis Caldera, the guy who authorized last month's exciting unannounced Ground Zero plane-buzzing.

Now the government says that it's not even going to release the photos of the FAA Terror Plane that buzzed Manhattan last week and scared the shit out of everyone, on direct orders from Obama.

The "Crisis Response Team" of a tiny little Minnesota town put together a book to help children deal with disasters. Let's learn and grow together.

A government memo shows the Federal Aviation Agency predicted "public concern" over fighter jets flying near downtown Manhattan — and yet demanded that New York officials not explain the planes' terrifying presence.

Louis Caldera has taken repsonsibility for the Air Force jetliner that buzzed the city today. This panic video shows why the White House official should go.

Well, he's not the pilot of the plane that buzzed the financial district (and lowly Jersey City) this sunny, 9/11-y morning. But he is the guy who authorized the flight.

Oh hey, a 747 just circled around lower Manhattan today, and then some fighter jets showed up. That isn't the sort of thing anyone should've been warned about!
