IS Implies Threat to Chicago

"I'd worry a lot less if I thought you were worried enough."

-- worried advisor Tom to carefree crimeboss Leo in Miller's Crossing

As George Bush said (I think): You may not be interested in terrorism, but terrorism is interested in you.

I won't post the tweet but if you scroll down the page you see a man holding a slip of paper in front of a Chicago landmark (the Old Republic Building) with some kind of threatening message. The tweet also declares that ISIS is in America.

It might not be anything more than a jihadi sympathizer trying to threaten Americans with no capacity to carry out his threat.

However... the mere fact that an unknown stranger wishes to terrorize you is itself terrorizing, isn't it?

Normal people do not think this way. Psychopaths do. And while not all psychopaths commit violence, you certainly have to keep your eyes on them.

Meanwhile, White House Camp Director & Minister of Fun Ben Rhodes tries to make Obama sound more concerned about IS' beheading of Foley than he actually is, by officially terming that act to be a terrorist attack on the United States.

Well okay; fair enough; so it is.

But then why was State Department Spokesgal & Deputy Celebrity Dinner Scheduler Marie Larf claiming yesterday that IS has not declared war on the United States, even though they themselves say they have, and even though they just committed an "act of terrorism" on the United States?

See, it's sort of times like this when maybe the president should actually be meeting with his staff to develop a coordinated and consistent response.
