Attempted Detroit airline bombing plot thickens

It appears that my eagerness for racial profiling at airports really doesn't matter since we can't even rely on people to check the dates on an expired Visa. The school administrator who arranged for a taxi to take Umar back to the airport told reporters the taxi was the end of their responsibility for the Nigerian who came to Yemen to learn Arabic. To learn Arabic? Of course in hindsight that might have raised some flags but we can't investigate everyone who wants to learn a language heavily reliant on the sounds of phlegm lodged in the back of the throat. Updating my original post with this new information has further solidified my resolve (from 2001) that we cannot rely on anyone else in the world to look after our interests of national security. Yemen should be punished for allowing this terrorist to leave their country, either by their own negligence or for aiding  Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab . Uh oh, did I just start a conspiracy theory? *Cue intense music. 

Not much faith in TSA these days

I bet Tiger Woods is glad the attempted Northwest Airlines flight 253 to Detroit made the headlines- maybe it will take the heat off him for a while. I am a little pissed, however, at the people who let  Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab get on the damn plane in the first place. All the signs were there that this extremist lunatic should not be outside a cemetery let alone an airplane. Let's list them: 1. He was on a terrorist watch list. 2. His own father  warned U.S. officials. 3. He probably looks similar to this asshole who tried to blow up an airplane with a shoe bomb back in 2001. Richard Reid- Now convicted of 9 charges  and Al Qaeda trained. Translation: He will sit in prison for the rest of his life as a drain on our tax system, much like unwed teenage mothers except Reid can't get knocked up when the boys come-a-callin'. I would like to address the previous points above and why we dodged a bullet with this latest attempt to disrupt the American way of life.

Dora the Explorer can suck it. Again.

While listening to the Christmas segment for this show I heard Dora's grating voice talking to Santa. I went to the television when I heard the singing and once again realized how much this show sucks. Up yours Nickelodeon. Santa Claus is not a Latino and he does not sing Feliz Navidad. He is a fat white guy with Type 2 diabetes and red cheeks. I know this is true because I saw him at the mall.

Fall from grace- See you soon, Tiger
