Is anyone else unimpressed with the chosen target of the recently nabbed Miami extremists, accused of plotting to blow up Chicago’s Sears Tower? One of America’s tallest buildings…doesn’t Al Qaeda know the meaning of “been there, done that”?
Besides, the people of Chicago have already survived Steve Dahl. If these terrorists have any insight as to what kind of action would really represent a deadly blow to the cultural spirit of America, they’d consider some kind of action directed at the Journey Sing-A-Long, taking place tomorrow night at Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse, or arranging a strike on Odessey, “Travis County’s premier Journey cover band.”
If nothing else, it would really fuck with Cliff Politte’s head.
as long as they don’t blow it up between 5:10 and 5:30 when i’m in the subway beneath the damn thing that’s fine with me. i don’t suppose they’d consider blowing up the metro? i for one could do without the steep ticket prices for bands of dubious talent; the over-priced and short-poured drinks; the steak headed security goons and the bitchiest bunch of door people in town (which is saying something considering the double door is still open).
