gridloreRight after word came that US casualties in Iraq had broken the 1,000 mark, came this announcement from Reich Minister for Fatherland Security, Herr Ridge.

So, we've lost a thousand troops.. LOOK! Terrorists! Under the bed! Run!
Tom Ridge has become the Bureaucrat who Cried Wolf. Whenever the current administration needs to distract the media, Ridge comes out with yet another ominous, vague warning about terrorism.
The sad thing is that this is beoming so predictable that I saw about ten people comment that they expected a terrorism warning the moment they heard about the casualty count.
I can't wait until November.
