Will we see more of these? Certainly. Two facts prove this. First, the administration is in trouble, with the poll numbers staying low for months. Second, they used one of their supply today, just to commemorate 7/7. The fact that they used one "offensively," as it were, rather than saving them for defense, shows they have plenty more in reserve.
In that spirit, I announce:
TERROR ALERT BINGO
Rules:
1) Create your card. Cards are 5x5 and each square is filled with a date between now and the election (11/7/06). No duplicate dates are allowed.
2) Post your card for all to see. You must post it before the first day you use on your card.
3) Mark off a square when the Administration first announces an implausible terror alert (even if the sting or bust happened months earlier).
4) The first one to complete a 5-box row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) wins.
