Because Chickens are Inherently Amusing

This cartoon, explaining the terror warning system, is too funny to pass up.

Reminds me of the good old times when “The Far Side” was published in the local rag.

This cartoon is irresponsible and gives aid and comfort to the terrorists who want to destroy our way of life!!! Don’t you know there is a war going on??? 😉

Funny. These “warnings” are pretty good too:

Yeah, what idiots, terrorists a threat?

It’s just like the sky falling, remember that time when it fell… Oh wait, that actually didn’t happen…

[Patri Friedman]

I found the cartoon amusing because I think the threat of terrorist attack is greatly exaggerated. But I think the metaphor is problematic because the threat is merely exaggerated, not totally made up.

Has there ever been a terrorist attack in the United States? I don’t seem to remember one. What’s all the fuss about?

we’re due for another but hopefully on the east coast again, since they think we’re all sympathizers out west
