Terrorism suspect Najibullah Zazi plotted for more than a year to detonate homemade bombs in the United States, had recently bought bomb-making supplies from beauty supply stores and was looking for "urgent" help in the past two weeks to make explosives, an indictment charged today.

I've gotta say that this is some pretty scary stuff! The guy bought his bomb making supplies at BEAUTY SUPPLY STORES?
Guys, how many times have you seen some bar fly with a ton of make-up on at the end of the bar light up a cig? How many times have YOU lit it for her? And she held it with fingernails painted florescent RED?
I don't know if I'll ever be able to get close enough to a terroristic, makeup wearing woman to kiss her ever again! (Not that anyone wants me to kiss them anyway).
Ya know, I don't mean to belittle this incident. I'm quite sure that there are people out there that are truly planning to attack innocent civilians here in the United States. It's a real problem that deserves real attention.
But those who are charged with the task of ferreting out these threats have cried wolf about "Islamic Fundamentalist" with ties to Iran, Afghanistan, and other Islamic countries too many times for me to be very worried about these people much. I figure that they are for the most part watching with glee as we tear ourselves apart from the inside!
And that being said, I suspect that the real violent threat from within lies in the far right fringe groups. You know, like the ones who kill doctors in their church for doing their job. The ones who walk into museums and shoot everyone in sight. The "TeaBagger" type who simply "want our country back"!
You know, the kind who listen to and support people like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Bill O'Rielly, and their ilk?
You know... fascists.
