Exploiting 9/11 for Fun and Profit Chris Elliott offers an excellent examination of 10th Anniversary "festivities" that is throwing TSA into an orgiastic frenzy over the murder of fellow Americans. Do these people have no shame?
If they did, they wouldn't be working for the TSA, harassing travelers, groping children, stealing stuff, and confiscating Depends from the elderly while squawking the repeated lie that these thugs make people safer.
I didn't! I was pretty sure I'd fail it cuz I haven't been to Disneyland in years - not since they revamped my favorite ride (the Pirates of the Caribbean). But about the Elliot article -- my take on it is pretty much the same as his. I don't see how that travel advisory is helpful in any way. All it says is 'we don't have any credible threats but you should stay very afraid!'. I think I'll continue to wear black though (in spite of Mr. Elliot) - I don't want to lose my goth card!
Seems like it was just back in May that we had the last round of warnings that there would be increased terrorism against US interests following the death of OBL. I, for one, am sure glad that we got those warnings because I was able to avoid all the attacks that followed, such as.... uh.... oh yeah, there was the..... hmmmmm, now that I think about it, exactly nothing happened. But I'm sure this time we should be extra careful.
