Another good article I read last night I found at the site As the Apple 
Turns, http://www.appleturns.com/.  I found it to be just about what I feel 
at the moment.

On an aside, we were evacuated from our building yesterday (again) after a 
"suspicious-looking car containing a suspicious looking-bag" was found 
outside.  Apparently two Arab-Americans parked the car, took some video of 
the building and walked away (rumors are circulating as to where, the local 
news organization will report only that the police said they had a 
legitimate reason to be there).  I fear for the safety of my Arabic friends 
and I want to remind anyone who may be reading this to be careful where you 
target your anger and watch your suspicions (Although I know this really 
doesn't apply to this list as cooler heads usually prevail).
