This is just too rich to overlook. Okay, everyone's heard about the "Anthrax Scare" in Florida? A suspicious but relatively small, contained (presumably for the moment) outbreak of 3 cases (1 death, 2 identified infected) in the Lantana, Florida HQ of "American Media Inc" publishers? What are the names of some of American Media's publications? "National Enquirer"..."The Sun"..."The Globe"... that's right, the infamous sleazy news tabloids found in the supermarket checkout line (across from the candy rack, beside "People", "Cosmopolitan" & other impulse-buy items) that typically scream headlines like UFO Abductee Claims 'My Baby is an Alien!' (for the non-domestic reader, the typical buyer demographic of these things is fat, stupid, hair-in-curlers housewives in one-size-fits-all mumus and flip-flops, usually with one or more snot-dripping rugrats in tow). QUOTE by American Media Chairman David Pecker yesterday: "Our investigating is nothing different than the mainstream."(!?!?!) This potential anthrax epidemic threatens to wipe out the entire supermarket tabloid industry in this country! First damn constructive thing these terrorists have done. I think they've given up on our government and are taking their case straight to the American people. If so, they're on the right track.
Huh huh huh uh huh huh hu hu huh huh huh... You said 'pecker'... huh huh huh... Actually, I think I'd rather have them hit the IRS office before the tabloids...

WTF? Like terrorists had anything to do with what went down in Florida. I'd say it was an inside job. With good timing.

Who cares if Anthrax is in the tabloids? It's about time someone payed the shitty band some attention.
