Sometimes, You Just Have To Say, "WTF??!"

Here's a current headline and brief story running on Yahoo! News:

Business as usual at Sears Tower despite plot

CHICAGO - Tourists lined up to take in the view atop America's tallest office building on Friday and workers went to their desks inside as usual despite news that the Sears Tower was the target of a foiled terrorist plot. "The possibility (of an attack) will always exists, you can't stop living," said Terrie Coles, 52, office manager for an engineering firm, as she headed inside the 110-story building. "I just hope and pray that people are doing their jobs to keep us safe," she added, but "I'm skeptical the plot even existed."

"Terror hype much?" These clowns in Liberty City: (a) had no weapons; (b) had no means of using weapons; and (c) were a helluva long ways from Chicago. Can we expect more hysterical-yet-nonsensical headlines like this in the immediate future? Something along the lines of:

Business As Usual At Mental Health Facilities, Despite Plethora Of Napoleons

Skies Remain Clear, Despite "Wrath Of God" Directives From Televangelists

Iraq Remains Anarchic Hellhole, Despite "Happy Horseshit" Talk From Washington
