Keystone Kops and Robburs

I am sitting in a medical provider's lobby -- or rather, the third circle of hell as epitomized by the relentless, forced application of the Today Show -- while Madame Cura undergoes a procedure that is a wonder of modern health care and seemingly medieval in technique. Meanwhile, I recommend you read Paul Campos's explanation of why al Qaeda continues to make increasingly ridiculous attempts to blow up an airliner using various modes of the would-be bomber's apparel when a couple of car bombs exploding a couple times of year in a few of our major cities would accomplish the group's terror-inducing goal. In short, airlines are the perfect medium for the terrorists, our politicians, and the media.
