1. that's unlike them.

they are wasting a terra alert?

is there an election or an impending indictment next
week that I am unaware of? :shrug:

[Frustratedlady]

2. Maybe an early Fitzmas?

Ho, ho, ho!

[DemReadingDU]

7. hmmmmm. that is interesting.

but I have pretty much lost faith in Fitzgerald.

15. Wow, the crazy guy may very well be the smoke screen for this.

Just the way that dad who took his family out in the night with a looming snowstorm was the smoke screen for much of the ISG.

4. this will be a great reason to ignore the ISG report

can't cut & run while terrorists are in Chicago.

8. I thought that was why we were fighting the terrorists in iraq?

to keep them out of chicago.:eyes:

6. Maybe it's Fitzmas after all.

We wish.

[hijinx87]

9. something has to be going on.

they don't waste these things for no reason.

10. Because he's probably not brown-skinned and Muslim.

From their description that he's a "lone wolf," I'm guessing he's more of a Timothy McVeigh or Eric Rudolph type - a fundie who was pissed off that he wasn't wished a Merry Christmas at the shopping mall.

[hijinx87]

11. oh, for heaven's sake.

he's not al quada. he's al cracker. :evilgrin:

14. ROFL!

:rofl:

5. Guess it must be holiday terror alert season!

Get out the duck tape and watch out for terrorists hiding in your local Walmart or perhaps Target since they are on the blue team and we all know that the terrorists will certainly attack the Democratic stores before the Repug stores...

So let's see, last week, the "internets" could lead to terrorism so no shopping on line folks- and this week we have the "Al Kaidas" attacking the malls.

Superbowl alerts come next. Stay tuned! Ho ho ho.

12. oh goody. let's raise the "Aspirational Terra Alert" level to Taupe

[leftofthedial]

13. the war on christmas--hit 'em where they live

the mall
