Threat level upgraded to "vague but scary"

Oh noes, spoilers!

Seriously, what's the point of issuing vague reports (Al Qaeda wants nuclear weapons? I bet they want a pony, too) other than to make people needlessly frightened? Oh, right. That's the whole point of terrorism.

Oh, for fuck's sake. They're getting pretty lazy in their efforts to keep the public scared, if I do say so myself. Christ, 1984 was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a how-to manual.

Al Qaeda should run around telling everyone how the fucking Harry Potter book ends. That would ruin everything.

You made me laugh about the pony.

Speaking of silly and scary, you must read this account of a Neo-Con cruise.

I adjust and stiffly greet the first man I see. He is a judge, with the craggy self-important charm that slowly consumes any judge. He is from Canada, he declares (a little more apologetically), and is the founding president of "Canadians Against Suicide Bombing". Would there be many members of "Canadians for Suicide Bombing?" I ask. Dismayed, he suggests that yes, there would.

But if Al Qaeda wanted nukes, I'm sure they could have found someone with one of the missing Soviet warheads a long time ago. But I wish people wouldn't keep giving them ideas.

Wow, Al Qaeda wants to attack the United States? Nobody evers tells me anything anymore! I feel like a mushroom sometimes, everyone keeps me in the dark and just feed me a bunch of shit.

After two weeks here across the pond in my home state, I'm still looking for evidence of this so-called liberal media.
