You know that weird guy across the street? He's a Terrorist!

Fox News Poll: Voters believe White House incompetent, US still in recession and ISIS has moved next door | Fox News:

Six in 10 voters think it is likely terrorists are living in their hometown (60 percent). That’s up from 48 percent who felt that way in 2007, the last time the question was asked, and back to about what it was nine months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In June 2002, 58 percent thought terrorists were in their community.

(Note to my neighbors:  No, it's not me.  It must be you.)

How can you identify a terrorist?  Well, if he points a gun at you, or his garage blows up because the bomb he was building had a slight design flaw, that's one clue..

They don't need to be wearing towels or fencing masks across their faces over the all-black floor length robes.  Remember Timothy McVeight?  He blew up this government building in Oklahoma a while back?  He looked normal.  Sort of.

(Actually, he looked a lot like my cousin Charley.  I don't talk to Charley much.  After today ... probably not at all.)

Living in America today is much like being Howard Keel in "The Day of the Triffids" .. except that Howard had a simpler way to identify the 'bad guys plants'; if they were six feet tall, looked vaguely like sunflowers, and could kill you for reasons and in ways you didn't understand, they were triffids.

Come to think of it, Terrorists are not unlike Triffids.

Hmm ... I may need to rethink my original thesis.

Never mind.

Here's a primer, in case you need it.
