My next door neighbors are Muslums and yes, they do look like and dress like Muslums. Very nice people, the hubby thinks I'm crazy!

OMG, Milwaukee makes the national news again. And even worse the perp is a grocery clerk, that gives it about a 60% chance he's one of my co-workers (my employer has at least a 60% market share of the grocery business in the Milwaukee area). What's next? TR was shot here, the guy who paralyzed Wallace was from here, Dahmer, our Arch-Bishop named on the scroll at the top of the BBC World News for child molestation... what's next?
This really is a great place to live and work! Or vacation (probably better in summer). Really

While it is not silly by any means I'm not trying make too light of this:

The threat, posted on a Web site, alleged that bombs could be used this weekend against stadiums in New York; Miami, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; Seattle, Washington; Houston, Texas; Oakland, California; and Cleveland, Ohio. The posting said the bombs were to be delivered by truck.

Who would choose Houston, Oakland, and Cleveland as sites to do this?
I mean, wouldn't it make more sense to choose sites that have some sort of symbolism (or even a bigger draw of crowd) as targets?
My thoughts of ones that would be targeted:
New England (Patriots), Dallas (the Star /or aka "America's Team") , Philly (Liberty town), New York (either team as both are in the Big Apple and capital of Captalism), Pittsburgh or Seattle based on recent popularity (Superbowl Teams), and even Washington (to strike right at the heart of things.
The targets just made this easier to discount, but I'm thinking the idea has probably popped in somebody's head before. Seem's if they were going for the Football effect, they too would see if the Superbowl was vulnerable (I know it has 'tight' security).
Anyway, I HOPE that these two idiots were the true culprits and that this issue can be put to rest.

In response to Dallas:
Cripes, what do you want from a 20 year old grocery clerk from Wauwatosa (yes that is a real suburb of Milwaukee)? If you have ever worked in a grocery store you'ld know what I mean

Phew, he worked for one of our competitors, a local chain of health food co-ops
