terror

Brilliant. On top of the "news" of a potential attack to be perpetrated upon the NYC subway system, along with stepped-up efforts to randomly search bags and parcels therein, there was a dreadful and dangerous *brand new* speech by our f*ing president. Firstly, the whole random search maneuver in the subways is idiotic. Anyone who… Continue reading terror
