Terror Threat Level
While I was off in the hinterlands of red-statedom celebrating five hundred odd years of death and destruction I happened to be reading the newspaper. Surprises of surprises in the Sunday edition of the Virginia Pilot (sorry no online version of the letters to the editor) was a letter wondering why the Terror Threat Level (or whatever Homeland Security is calling it these days) wasn't elevated during the holiday. Said letter writer wondered if it had anything to do with the election of Georgie. Said letter writer ironically guessed that those terrorists had been scared straight by Georgie's election and thus the lack of terror warnings since the election. Said letter writer's logic got me thinking and wondering if Georgie & Co. will be issuing terror alerts now that Big Daddy Dick and Uncle Rove have another four years to fuck things up. I'm betting that Uncle Rove will play the terror warning card the next time Big Daddy thinks the ultra-rich are due another tax break.
