This Space for Rent

It must be election season (pt 2)

Weigh the evidence

  1. The British haven't actually charged the alleged terrorists.
  2. The "interrogation" where the details of the amazing binary liquid explosion plot were revealed to the shell-like ears of British intelligence? It was done in Pakistan, where "interrogation" usually means "torture".
  3. No bombs have been found.
  4. No airplane tickets were found.
  5. Some of the alleged terrorists didn't have passports (you used to be able to get a US passport PDQ if there was an corporate or family emergency that required overseas travel RIGHT NOW, but I suspect that "we need to fly halfway to the United States!" is not the sort of emergency that will cause the passport official to stamp "URGENT" on your application, particularly when the floral bundle of MI5, MI6, and Scotland Yard are all keeping tabs on you.)
The Evil Party and their lapdogs will lie about anything, including whether the sun will rise in the east.

This would certainly explain why the Terror! Alert!™ rating stayed contentedly at yellow. If there was no plot, there'd be no reason to worry about bumping up the threat level until a politically advantagous moment.

The East?

Isn’t that at least halfway again past where all those killers and terrorists live?

Ergo….

The Sun must go.

After all, who needs light on election day anyway, especially if it brings out the swing vote?


btw….Oregon’s coastal parks are absolutely fantastic…..how have you all managed to keep them all going with so little privatization and relatively few user fees?
