Terrorist Plot Thwarted in Arizona!
In the last month, two helicopters have fallen out of the sky and into the murky waters surrounding Manhattan. Yesterday, a light plane did the same. It appears that a miniature Bermuda Triangle has begun to align itself around the lower half of the island. I think this warrants a scientific investigation immediately.
Again, be careful if you're visiting.
In the BBC today: Al-Jazeera shelves US border film
Al-Jazeera, the Arabic language media outlet, had been planning to film a report "about economic and security issues" along the US-Mexico border. However, the kibosh was put on the project by the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, a gang of anti-immigration hillbillies who have appointed themselves to patrol the Arizona-Mexico border.
This group opposes immigration into America in general, but especially from our neighbor to the south. Apparently Mexicans come here to steal dishwashing and other jobs from hard-working Americans who, frankly, wouldn't take the jobs if they were available. Which they are. What the Minutemen do is patrol the borders with rifles (just in case) and call in "reports" of infiltration to the actual US Border Patrol - just like the WWII-era Civil Defense Corps, but with a flaming red neck.
Similar groups are rearing their ugly, five-gallon-hat-wearing heads along nearly all the other border states as well. From what I've seen, the standard-issue uniform appears to be a medley of flannel and denim, flamboyant cowboy boots (is there any other kind?), and a cowboy hat. They are basically uber-patriotic, racist organizations who, if unchecked soon, will eventually begin executing Mexicans at the border.
The Minutemen publicly resolved to confront any al-Jazeera journalists who made their way to the US-Mexico border. They even had the audacity to file a formal complaint with the Department of Homeland Security (you know, the red alert!, orange alert! guys). But what's really scary is that they have local popular support, and their cause has even been furthered by a US Congressman:
"It is insane policy to allow al-Jazeera to film Arizona's unsecured border with Mexico and then broadcast it to the very people who perpetrated 9/11," said Trent Franks, a Republican Congressman for Arizona.
How is it that a Congressman can say such a thing! It's absolutely ludicrous.
In the end, though, the group succeeded in staving off an imminent attack from the dangerous journalists and cameramen from al-Jazeera. And we're all safer for it. Just take a look at this little gem:
"The world's most prolific terrorism television network has cancelled its recon operation at the Arizona/Mexico border," the group said in a statement.
Most prolific? Recon? Nonsense.
In other news, Sandra Day O'Conner has retired from United States Supreme Court. Americans can now finally get what they really want: to overturn Roe v. Wade. Sandra Day O'Conner was the swing-vote on the issue, and a breath of fresh air on a lot of other issues. God help us all.
This weekend I'm going to Avalon, New Jersey for the long 4th of July holiday weekend. Avalon is in the far southern tip of New Jersey, quite near to Delaware, and has some lovely beaches and other beachy stuff. I'm not looking forward to the unavoidable five hours of snarled traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike, but I am looking forward to cooking like a french fry in the sun.
Again, be careful if you're visiting.

Are you really that much of a dumb-ass? Get informed. And quit stereotyping. Let me guess you voted for Nancy Pelosi - the real baby killer. It's assholes like you who will need protection when the pervebial crap hits the fan. Lets just nickname you "France" and have it over with. In case you're not well read France let Poland walk right by them before they were taken over by them. Sounds a lot like you and your liberal friends.
I didn't know Poland "took over" France. I guess me and my liberal friends should read more.
Your description of the Minutemen is not factual. They are forbidden to carry rifles and they don't. They are forbidden to interfere with IA's and they don't. All they do is observe and report and, on many occasions, render humanitarian aid. You report as fact things that are not and that you have not researched thereby making them lies. That tags you as a liberal.
