The lighter side of Friday’s bomb threats …

First, the serious part: we’re all thankful that the bomb packages didn’t do any harm.

Now, the lighter side of a very serious situation:

  • This makes 3 recent incidents in the past few months where terrorist bombs didn’t detonate: the underwear bomber, Times Square, and UPS packages … Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall when Bin Laden calls in the guy running Al-Qaida’s bomb training program? … Let’s hope the moron keeps his job and the string of failures continues.
  • Lots of press praise for the sleuthing done by our intelligence forces … hmmm … the Saudis reportedly sent US officials the UPS tracking numbers … from that point, how hard was it to find the packages?
  • Does anybody think that a Chicago rabbi would carelessly open an anonymous package postmarked from Yemin?  I’m thinking ‘no’.

Again, thankful that nothing bad happened …
