DIRTY BOMBS AWAY (by Steve Nadis)

After panic had hit Boston--the dirty bomb scare sending schoolchildren ducking and covering under their desks for weeks on end--it now looks like it was all a ruse. False alarm. Close, but no cigar. Surprising it amounted to nothing, given the credibility of the source--a smuggler trafficking in human cargo across the U.S.-Mexican border. Which brings us to the sad truth: If our smugglers are now letting us down, who can you believe anymore? What ever happened to good old-fashioned trust? These are truly questions for our times, and for once I have no answers. All I can say is that this time around, anyways, we seem to have averted the latest dirty bomb threat here in Beantown. Which comes as quite a relief to yours truly, among others in the group of paranoid people I consort with. Now all we have to worry about are those clean bombs.

3 - What happened to yer pal Burt? How come he hasn‘t called this post a pile of crap yet, in his inimitable, yet ungrammatical fashion? Has he grown weary of enlightening us lesser mortals? (Comment this)

4 - I can‘t speak for Burt. He‘s unpredictable, popping up when least expected. But I‘m bracing for his scathing comments, which will inevitably ruin my day. Some day. (Comment this)
