Panic has set in.
Well, folks, we have stinger missle launchpads around Washington DC and panic has set in at the homefront. I haven’t seen this kind of madness since Y2K. See, we’re prime territory for another terrorist strike, although Alan thinks a rural strike might be more effective.
Anyway, we seem to be doing an excellent job terrorizing ourselves. My good friend Maria discovered this on a routine trip to Costco. The greatest danger to all of us is not the terrorist threat but the people who won’t stop to think.
<span class=“caps”>NYC </span>could be a Mel Brooks movie lately — High Anxiety. Idiots are once again dropping white powder all over the place; cop cars are parked all over with lights flashing; the national guard is out in camouflaged force at key locations; <span class=“caps”>NYPD </span>anti-terror units are guarding hotels with submachine guns.
In other words: “yeesh.” I’m wearing an orange shirt today in honor of it all.
Nothing to see here. Move along. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
I have some shopping to do at Home Depot, but I refuse to go. The Costco crowd drives minivans, but the Home Depot crowd drives <span class=“caps”>SUV</span>s. I don’t think I’d survive the parking lot… let alone the store!
And Wal-Mart is absolutely out of the question!
