by Peter King, the congressman two doors down from ours, who sent out his hourly "We're gonna die" warnings that just had to make the local nooz. Needless to say, there will be no mention of that this week.

I despise King, and this is just one reason why, but I gotta admit that he does have a genius for getting airtime.

Two guys did that. One put a mortar tube on his head.

The other one held the explosive over his head without then mortar tube.

And a guy was eaten by a alligator near the Texas , Louisiana border.

Must have been a terrorist plot of some kind.

Three people couldn't be that stupid.

on edge with remote possibilities. The probabilities are slim, but that does not stop "DHS" from demanding more money for boogey men. Same with law enforcement militarization.
