republicans don t realize is they need to win over the independent voter and gingrich is not the guy to get that done. it would also help to have a fresh face for the gop to have a chance. r.j. writes, he s a patent opportunist. people can see through that. and his bomb throwing past will come back to haunt him. and a guy who calls himself, at least on twitter, mr. swiss cheese, tweets, gingrich s big problem will be the women s vote or lack thereof. he s poisoned that with his bad behavior toward exes. i like hearing from you. reach me on e-mail, on twitter, on facebook, and, by the way, we had some very witty comebacks to that question today. got a good laugh out of some of those. we remember fondly the vcr, walkman and typewriters. yes, typewriters. soon even more one time tech favorites will join our rest in peace list. techlicious.com came up with five gadgets that will be dead in five years. they say in carportable navigation systems. turn right ahead. computer dvd and cd-roms,
every single week. really? i go chunky! i go low fat. anyway, let s tell you what the alert is about this morning. and that is new information discovered from a compound in pakistan about future attacks. now, this is what everyone was very concerned about with regard to would there be a retaliation or what was already in the works? well, now, we have our hands on some of the most highly touted information. it has to do with train targetses for new york, chicago and washington, d.c. on the 10th anniversary of september 11th coming up. they have 100 different stories from dvd s, cd-roms and these thumb storage devices and one of the first things they went over is they came across and including notebooks is bin laden talking about his next goal is pick major events and make something happen, whether it s christmas, state of the union or 9/11 10 years later and he was looking at trains looking to tip trains in north america over a huge mountain or over a huge bridge.
