Phew…. Given the way Homeland Security and it’s enabling media outlets whipped the country into a paranoid frenzy last week, you’d think they were reacting to evidence that a long fuse had already been lit that was timed to blow up all of New York City and Washington, DC yesterday.
Now, after this phantom fuse did not go off, government officials are shamelessly patting themselves on the back for protecting the American people from a threat that clearly had more to do with their hysteria than any terrorist plot.
Forget al-Qaeda, the U.S. government is terrorizing people to death. Meanwhile, the media have not missed a beat in turning their attention to the truly explosive story of Serena Williams blowing up at the U.S. Open. What a friggin farce!
