If you're feeling insufficiently outraged at the moment, read this.
This is even worse than the woman who was accused of terrorism for breast-feeding her baby on a plane. A would-be novelist was doing a crossword puzzle during his flight, and scribbled a line of dialogue in the margin: "I know this is kind of a bomb."
Another passenger saw this (how? For the love of fuck, what was this squealer doing reading the poor man's crossword over his shoulder?), and told a flight attendant. When they landed, the scribbling gentleman was accosted by police, and now is on Homeland Security's watch list.
For writing the word "bomb" in the context of a complete terrorism-free sentence in the margins of a newspaper.
Mmm, the cup of outrage is full to the brim and steaming, for it is full of freshest dung. That is what the current administration has been feeding us: absolute bullshit. So many Americans keep slurping it right down and asking for a refill.
