‘Colbert Report’: ‘Amateurish’ Bombing Attempt Kind of Threatens New YorkPosted on May 4, 2010
Although Michael Bloomberg and various other media-friendly types made sure to share the same talking points about the recent New York City bomb scare being “amateurish” and “pathetic,” Stephen Colbert would like the alleged perpetrator to know that, actually, it was sufficiently alarming, and please don’t do that again, OK? However, the location of the bomb was fairly non-threatening to the average New Yorker. —KA

Lucky us the person who tried to perpetrate a bombing in Times Square was poorly trained and equipped. Lucky for us another Muslim saw the smoking SUV and reported it quickly. Otherwise we would have a very different story today wouldn’t we?
Denigrating the attackers simply promote the idea to them to come back stronger and better to get it done. Of course since this isn’t centrally controlled but is free lance it is so much harder to get at. More like spontaneously generated individual cells popping up randomly. Any mathematicians out there to calculate the odds for us? Actuaries are welcome.
