My God, have you heard? Have you heard the news?
I don't want to alarm anyone at this point, but our nation's Ferry systems may be the next target of Islamic radical "sleeper cells."
It seems that alert citizen-watchmen recently observed two men "behaving suspiciously" while on a recent ferryboat ride in Washington state. Authorities also disclosed that a "suspicious package" was found in the ferry's bathroom.
The only thing I can say is this: we were warned.
The Ferry system is at the heart of America's lake and small river transportation industry, moving several dozen passengers, cars, and irrepressibly handsome gunslingers each year.
I hardly need elaborate on what a blow to our ferry system could mean in strategic terms, but suffice to say our Fat Tourists Who Constantly Look at Shit Through Binoculars industry would never fully recover.
But who should be surprised? Terrorist have been eyeing our riverboats for years. Sure, some people say it would be retarded for terrorists to blow up a boat in the middle of a lake where at the very least the bomb would not catch any of the surrounding area on fire, or that there are much more obvious targets in Washington state, like say, a giant fucking Space Needle that serves as an iconic symbol of American hopefulness, but fuck it, they clearly want to sink our water taxis.
Luckily, not all citizens are lulled into such passivity that they fail to see this threat.
One such hawk-eye, a woman particularly good at finding threats absolutely anywhere she looks, is Michelle Malkin.. Armed with her "I am John Doe" campaign, she has been encouraging healthy, constant, jingoistic paranoia for months.
Her readers have responded to the threat by posting examples of Haiku that they have written about the impending attack. Indulge:
Intelligencer?
You’d be hard pressed to prove it
Heads back in the sand
Who are these ‘masked’ men?
Michelle Malkin has pictures.
Get your news from her.
Muslims
Those wild terrorist
Planning again
The casual terrorist
snapping photos
the fuze is lit
Sure, the spelling and grammar are a bit on the "original" side, but at least the Malkinites CARE. At least they are CONCERNED. At least they are AFRAID. What have YOU done lately?
