I don't see this below, so I thought I'd post. The Triborough Bridge here in NYC has been closed because an abandoned rental truck, smelling of gas, has been found on the bridge. Who knows - may be nothing, but I thought it was worth the post.

NEW YORK -- New York City police are investigating a truck abandoned several yards from a toll booth near the Manhattan side of the Triborough Bridge.
Police say witnesses reported seeing a man flee the vehicle Wednesday night.

Being a U-Haul, it could just be a busted fuel line.

U-haul vehicles have plates from anywhere and everywhere just due to the nature of the business. I have rented several times from u-haul and other companies and never had local plates.

Somewhere, Contessa Brewer is on the phone with her left-wing media colleagues, hoping that the culprit(s) involved in this do not have dark skin or belong to the muslim faith.

Get ready for more and more of this stuff.
It wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of these threats are “dry runs” staged by terrorists in order to get a handle on police and Homeland response. It’s ironic that the terrorists could thoroughly disrupt American society without ever detonating a bomb.

Still no statement from Obama.
That's because he's busy practicing a new stand-up comedy routine for the next big fundraiser.

Definitely illegal or islamo, otherwise they’d be on their cell calling their (legal) company for help.

“Legal company”?
It’s a U-Haul, not a Werner truck.

Not to fear. Chief Moose is on the case, and already has an artist's rendering of the truck...
