Well, in case you missed it, Homeland Security yesterday said that Osama Bin Laden himself was orchestrating an attack on the US, aimed at the election. Or maybe the conventions in Boston or New York. Or maybe Polling Places!
But they weren't raising the terror threat alert.
Sooner or later they are going to be right about this and they can say "told you so". But a stopped watch is right twice a day - so I am not impressed yet.
Last week, in case you missed it, LA Airport was suppose to be on the lookout for middle eastern men, coming from Pakistan with unusual rope burns or bruises that could have come from a terrorist training camp. Question: Shouldn't we always be on the lookout for that.
Aside from making us all thankful that George Bush is president, and happy that Dick Cheney is sitting in a mountain when he isn't telling Democratic Senators to Go Fuck Themselves - I am not sure what the purpose of this is.
It isn't to change our daily routines.
It isn't to avoid voting.
"Stay" / "Sit" (apologies to anyone who hasn't seen Fahrenheit 9/11).
So we really don't know what, if any, warning to believe do we?
If there is no terrorist attack , then vote for Bush, because he has stopped it.
If a terrorist attack occurs, then vote for Bush, because he is a strong man of conviction.
Xanex please.
Fine then. Eye-candy for those that need a swimmer fix.
