 Citizens "Really Really Alert" After Latest Warnings WASHINGTON, DC (DPI) - US Citizens are at an all-time high for Damn Sure Alertness against any potential further terrorist attacks, according to a recent poll. The poll, authorized by the US State Department, indicated that 58% of Americans were "Straight Up Alert," while another 27% were "Darn Tootin' Watching My Own." Enid, Oklahoma resident Charles Rebell, 45, sat alertly on the porch of his mobile home yesterday, a tire iron nearby "Just in case." Provo, Utah homemaker Udell Baxter, 34, was keeping her soaps at a little lower volume than usual just to keep alert for anything out of the ordinary. "You just can't be too alert nowadays," said Baxter during a commercial break. (Reported by Travis Ruetenik)

Ashcroft Lauds Heroic Tattle-Tell WASHINGTON, DC (DPI) -- Attorney General John Ashcroft today recommended Freddie Banks Jr., age 10, for a 'Homeland Hero Award' for telling on his best friend Ibrahim Abdulah, age 9. "Freddie saw future-terrorist Abdulah trying to put back a baked-good from a dessert tray which he had already touched," said Ashcroft, "and we all realize that kind of action is a big no-no." Ibrahim will be detained indefinitely by the cafeteria staff until they are comfortable with the fourth grader's intentions. Ashcroft added, "The world is a safer place to eat today."

Freaky." Valdez plans to pursue funds to continue his work, extending its reach to study caffeine's impact on closet organization. (Reported by Jim Rosenberg) |
