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.

What do you mean by "clean bombs"? Are you referring to neutron bombs? We dont hear enough about those these days.
Thanks for reminding me. Im getting nostalgic.
What happened to yer pal Burt? How come he hasnt called this post a pile of crap yet, in his inimitable, yet ungrammatical fashion? Has he grown weary of enlightening us lesser mortals?
I cant speak for Burt. Hes unpredictable, popping up when least expected. But Im bracing for his scathing comments, which will inevitably ruin my day. Some day.
Small guy,nice blog,great job,hope i will see your work soon.
