A Stitch in Haste

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine...But Haste Makes Waste

A collection of real-world libertarian, individualist and laissez-faire rants on law, economics, politics, culture and other current events
by an average, everyday lawyer & investment banker and part-time pop scholar.

Is There Some Other Definition of "Terrorism"?
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

---
I hate it when the last thing I read at night is something mind-bogglingly stupid:
A suspected pipe bomb exploded at the federal courthouse in downtown San Diego early this morning, shattering a glass entryway and damaging the lobby, authorities said. No injuries were reported.
...
"It's too early to tell if it's terrorism-related," [FBI spokesman Darrell] Foxworth said. "It does not appear to be right now."
Huh? How can "bomb + courthouse" not equal "terrorism"?

News flash for the FBI: Anyone with a bomb and a target is a terrorist. End of discussion.

Good night.
