Okay, so how do you know he’s bald?

[NMEwithin]

I wonder if they will read the package it’s Miranda rights?

[BOBTHENAILER]

I thought it was somebody carrying a full salt shaker, without a permit.

[tiredoflaundry]

Please let this be a false alarm.

OGNTSA!

[al baby]

Does anyone have a good cinnamon toast recipe ?

[OB1kNOb]

FOX has a camera on it.

Should there be sound or just video?

[onyx]

Good. Thanks.

Even Petraeus is on board with the lone wolf theory

Maybe that's exactly what they want them to think. Lull them into a false sense of security.

CNN claiming a Tea Party member is acting up yet?

Probably just some guy upset that his house was foreclosed on, no dobut.

Megan Kelly reporting “a small white cooler left on the sidewalk.”

[NMEwithin]

wouldn’t it be great if some bum just walked up, opened the cooler and pulled out a beer?

““a small white cooler left on the sidewalk.””

No doubt it’s a white Christian cooler.

FOX has a camera on it.

Get Geraldo to open it live on prime time tv and it'll be another dud like Al Capone's vault.

Well did Megyn say if anyone checked for beer?

[Pollster1]

A cooler full of that deadly chemical sodium chloride?

Or worse . . . bottles of di-hydrogen-monoxide. Penn and Teller worked to ban that substance but the far right stopped them from protecting those in need. As expected, women, children, and the poor are hardest hit by the di-hydrogen-monoxide crisis. I've heard that ten people, mostly the poor, died of di-hydrogen-monoxide poisoning this week in Nashville alone, but the Tea Partiers still won't support the ban. Sarah Palin may even be leading the efforts to stop common sense regulations.

That’s probably all it is. Maybe it belongs to a construction crew or something..... let’s hope.

"Snapple?"

That would be some ad campaign, more attention than a superbowl ad.

Sounds like a jest but publicity stunts in before WWII were like this (tales of missing persons, runaway lions loose in town...).

It’s probably like the “small white microwave” that was found on the streets of Pittsburgh during the Marathon last weekend.

The police evacuated and cordoned off the area, and detonated the microwave to find it contained . . . a can of ravioli. There was tomato sauce everywhere.
