	The Al-Qaeda and their use of videotapes.
	I say: "How come when the Al-Qaeda threaten governments they always send over their latest threats using videotapes?" "I don't know," says the woman I'm sitting with then lighting the end of her Virginia Slim cigarette. "It seems like their latest threat would be a helluva lot scarier if they burned their message onto a DVD and then maybe used next day Federal Express or United Parcel Service to deliver it."  When she's done exhaling all the Virginia Slim cigarette smoke from her lungs she says:  "What's a videotape?" I say: "This is gonna sound bad but If I was the media production guy for the Al-Qaeda I'd have them make weekly Podcasts chocked full of all the newest planned targets worldwide and maybe break it up using Podsafe music from the World of Islam." She is painting the nail on her big toe using Jailbait by Hard Candy and between brush strokes she says: "I like Adam Gaynor." "Not Adam Gaynor," I say.  "Adam Gadahn." "Oh," she says. "Who's Adam Gaynor?" I say. "I love him," she says. I say: "Who is he?" She is painting the nail on her other big toe (light purple with shimmer) and while she is painting it she says: "He's one of the guys from Matchbox Twenty." She's only one year out of high school.
