Have A Great Weekend, Try Not To Get Murdered In The Terror Plots!
The State Department is closing a bunch of embassies on Sunday -- which is also Barack Obama's birthday, or so he says -- and has issued a travel alert for all Americans traveling abroad, especially in the Middle East, due to some kind of increased threat, possibly from homofascists but more likely from actual scary terrorists in maybe Yemen. CNN says probably Yemen, so who knows, probably the Boston Police have a suspect in custody already.
We have a feeling -- call it our Wonkette Sense -- that the coming week is likely to come and go without incident, and this will end up being yet another of those "hey, remember when they closed the embassies that one time? No, me neither" things, like so many others. Even so, this sure sounds scary!
The State Department warned American citizens of the potential for terrorism particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, with a possible attack occurring or coming from the Arabian Peninsula.
"Current information suggests that al-Qaeda and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks both in the region and beyond, and that they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August," the statement said.
Oh, OK, so it's just a matter of being freaked the fuck out for the next month is all. Or not freaking out and just going shopping -- we can never remember which it is we're supposed to do.
Islamists are forbidden to eat bacon, drink beer, smoke pot, or look at nekkid women. No wonder they're already upset and jealous.
Scroll down on the left column, to discover that since Congress has nothing better to do, Darryl Isssa jackass continues to <a href="http:\/\/foxnewsinsider.com\/2013\/08\/02\/darrell-issa-issues-new-subpoenas-amid-latest-benghazi-bombshell-cia" target="_blank">busy himself with the latest</a> in Benghazi!!!!!!! &#039;bombshells&#039;.
My favorite part is this classic piece of Faux News &#039;reporting&#039;: <i>Rick Folbaum then asked Issa what his &quot;gut&quot; feeling is about what the Obama administration is hiding, raising the possibility that Clinton&#039;s reputation is being protected for a 2016 presidential run or that the CIA&#039;s presence was linked to some sort of arms deal to help Syrian rebels. </i>
Shouldn&#039;t take long for the wingnut blogtards to turn that into a headline: &quot;Obama, CIA hide Benghazi rebel arms deal to protect Hillary&#039;s White House campaign,&quot; which will then get bounced around the Faux/Beck/Limbaugh/Twatter echo chamber until it graduates to the status of a proven, uncontestable wingnut &quot;fact&quot; that&#039;s being ignored by the left-wing lamestream media (proving that the lamestream media is left wing.)
The whole right wing retardosphere is growing very tiresome, and very predictable.
