“We’ve said it before, Great Satan: your Sam Goody stores infuriate Allah! Behold the wickedness of Gap Kids! May the very fires of hell incinerate your Great Steak ‘n’ Potato Company, what with their seriously overpriced and undermeated mushroom cheese steaks — and may brimstone rain down in ferocious torrents upon Coach Leathers and all the infidel dogs working and shopping therein, praise be to Him!”*

I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY PRETTY COUNTRYSIDE
HAD BEEN PAVED DOWN THE MIDDLE
BY A GOVERNMENT THAT HAD NO PRIDE
THE FARMS OF OHIO
HAD BEEN REPLACED BY SHOPPING MALLS
AND MUZAK FILLED THE AIR
FROM SENECA TO CUYAHOGA FALLS
SAID, A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO
Then a Somali SOB blew up the mall.
The good news is, that although the city of Columbus must be more than a bit shaken right now, the metropolis of Welaka, FL is safer than ever…what with that $1.5M anti-terrorism grant and all…

There was a guy on NPR today who was saying that if terrorists bombed a mall, it would conceivably do more harm to the American economy than the 9/11 attacks.
Basically said that if they do this, middle America will be too scared to, like, shop and stuff, and with the economy in such a precarious state right now, with this halting recovery …
And that’s when I couldn’t hear anymore because I was laughing.
Actually I was just thinking about that–how there hasn’t been a terrorist attack in America against a target that the “common man” can really relate to. For most Americans, the Trade Center was as remote as the Washington monument–something you visit & go up the elevator, but not something which you encounter on a regular basis.
While the guy on NPR was doubtlessly talking out his ass in his overstatement on the economic impact, I imagine that American’s willing to escalate the war on terror would rise pretty dramatically if someone bombed a mall. This ain’t Spain, after all.
what the…”Great Steak & Potato Company”???
No one sent me the memo on this one…my caloric requirements demands details!
Death to Auntie Ann and damn her yummy pretzels with cinnamon sugar coatings…may she go straight to hell where she’ll be forced to drink her infernal sugary-sweet lemonade forever!
If Allah wills it, that is.
