Tell me they didn't really say this ???? [View All]

I've been out of the loop for a couple of days relative to the "Tunnel Terra"... so while having my morning coffee I see this article

The first "reports" coming from the Rovian propaganda machine claimed that a vague group of suspected terrorists were planning to flood lower Manhattan by blowing up the Holland or Lincoln Tunnels.

There was just one major problem with this latest "scare them into voting Republican for a third time" tactic: it defied the laws of gravity and basic physics.

You see, Manhattan is ABOVE sea level. A body of water, such as the Hudson River, won't rise UP without a rather sophisticated plumbing system. In short, bombing the Holland or Lincoln Tunnels could not possibly, according to the law of physics, flood lower Manhattan and "ruin the American economy by destroying Wall Street."

While comical, the sad reality is there are many in this country that would buy "the plot" hook-line-and-sinker. So apparently the discipline of critical thinking and logical analysis is now a lost "art" in this country ? Welcome to the new Roman (err Rovian) Empire.
