Of course,  the Port of Authority in Manhattan was the scene of a suicide bombing. Here are the details, as they are known so far. Timing is everything (except for the importance of place). This is the holiday season. That means plenty of human beings will be out shopping and doing fun things like dining out and visiting museums. Fewer them will be doing that if they fill with fear. A society can be shut down. That will hurt the Manhattan economy.

I learned a few things from Eddie Izzard the other night about how to deal with bombing. When one of his jokes triggered only a few chuckles, he responded, "Thank you 12 people." At one point, he said in response to another flat joke, "So it's true but not funny -- that's what you're saying." Eddie frequently plays two characters having a conversation onstage. During this show, when a joke wasn't working, the two characters would occasionally discuss the audience's response.

His brother was dead.    Then, a call came into law enforcement from a Watertown resident-David Henneberry. His heroism took the form of just being an alert citizen.    Henneberry noticed that the padding he used to protect his boat Slip Away II was not in-place. It was on the ground. At first he just wondered. Then he took another look.

What Donald Trump and Sarah Palin have in common is their agility in tossing rhetorical bonds. It has served to win them friends (as well as enemies) and influence people. Also, it has been a bonding force between the two. Several years late but Palin could land up as the Vice President of the United States. Meanwhile she had been able to make a good living running her mouth. So, the obvious question is, given this success, why don't more public speakers emulate Trump and Palin?

The bombing of Dresden was an intense British and American aerial attack on the capital of the German state of Saxony during World War II. In four raids over two days in February 1945, 722 heavy bombers of the British Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the city.
