To help discourage terrorism, let’s give as much attention as possible to the Detroit plane bomber. Wall-to-wall coverage on Fox should teach those terrorists a thing or two. Let’s put his face on the cover of TIME and Newsweek while we’re at it. I’m sure it’s the last<\/em> thing he’d want.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 6:12pm PT:<\/b><\/i> Was trying to enjoy the rare luxury of few down hours to watch Sherlock Holmes<\/i><\/a> with family here in Dallas (where I’ll be guest hosting the Mike Malloy Show<\/i><\/a> this week from Mike’s local affiliate AM 1360 Rational Radio<\/a>) when my iPhone alerts start buzzing.

LOCKS HIMSELF IN BATHROOM!!! … Of course, as you likely know by now, it was a Nigerian businessman whose “strange behavior” was walking back and forth to the bathroom.<\/p>\n

It’s elementary, dear reader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
