As reported by many news agencies around the Golden State, here are the Top 5 Terrorism Targets in California.
1. Los Angeles International Airport 2. Oakland Airport 3. Long Beach Port 4. Golden Gate Bridge 5. Disneyland
Upon hearing the news this morning, I went directly to Disneyland to have fun and to give Osama and crew the middle finger. Thankfully, I didn't see any anthrax, dirty bombs, or Iraqis.
However, I did see (what had to be) the largest gathering in the world of Jr. Varsity cheerleaders and their very obnoxious curly hair bun things.
Kudos goes to Disneyland security for using thousands of 'READY! OK!' agents to thwart a potential terrorist attack.
It was enough to drive even me away.
Also, you will be happy to know that Matterhorn and King Arthur Carrousel are finally open again.
Join the fray by reading through and commenting at the end.
That's right Greg. You show those terrorists! Because you know as well as I that if Eisner doesn't get our money, then the terrorists have already won. [btw, on his latest CD, the comedian David Cross has what I think is a very funny bit on this very topic]
Be. Agressive.
Be-e. Agressive.
B. E. A-G-G.
R-E-S-S. I-V-E.
Rinse and repeat. (Works every time.)
Hmm...using pep to subvert terrorism. Very cagey, those folks at Disney. Next thing you know, their baseball team will win the World Series.

The perfect topic for a Shutterthumb feature.
I didn't say either of those things, by the way...
I'm shocked Miami isn't on that list. If you've ever been to Miami International Airport, you'd suddenly realize just how easy it is to get just about anything into the country.
The list only concerned California targets. We don't much care about the rest of the United States. In fact if Miami, or all of Florida, fell off the map tomorrow, no one here would care much.
Well that's not true. I suppose we would be very thankful that we could finally have a decent federal election.
if ... all of Florida, fell off the map tomorrow
Who besides me recalled the old Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs removes Florida from the (lifesized) map of the US and yells, "South America, take her away!"
