I'm wondering if the content of this post will have me on a permanent first-name basis w/ the folks over at the Department of Homeland Security - not that I'm saying anything crazy, just that I'll probably hit a majority of watch words that they flag things for. Or tap people's phone lines for. (Maybe I should cancel the impending appointment w/ Comcast and their land line...) Or have foreign security folks come into your apartment and rough you up for should you happen to be staying in a foreign country (notthatthishashappenedtoanyoneIknowAHEM).

So. Right. Content that is totally not a matter of homeland security but gets people riled up anyway:

"Jihad Jane?" Really? I mean, I know you want to be all "look at me and my trendy moniker skillz" and "buy mah newspaper you masses stahving for juicy sensational newz." But I think that's unnecessary. Sure, the lady was operating a la Benedict Arnold. Sure, she was -

Okay. Scratch that. Flip it. Reverse it. *Removes foot from mouth.*

HAAAA, haha, ha....er. Well. In an effort to link you to said reference ("Jihad Jane"), I figured I would actually get the link for the story and, well, you know, READ IT. At which point I REALIZED: she done gave herself the nickname.

I was all ready to dust off ye olde soapbox and say how we need to see both sides and not trivialize but instead seek to understand such mentalities and causes that people espouse so wholly and don't fuel the whole terror fire and yadda yadda yadda.

You have my apologies, sensational news people. And federal government. Please don't tap my phone. (Unless you want a daily rundown of The Despot's feats of a gustatory and "eliminatory" manner...Or want said despot and accomplice - Fruit Loop - yelling like feral children in the background. It's up to you.)
