It's that time again
What, the president's approval ratings have sunk some more? Well, time to trot out the terror warnings! Nothing like some good fear-mongering to rally support.
The Times has the new threat:
Security in and around New York City's subways was sharply increased yesterday after city officials said they were notified by federal authorities in Washington of a terrorist threat that for the first time specifically named the city's transit system.
But they're too desperate to leave it at that - the Post has some about 10 terrorist plots, all surely diabolical, that President Bush personally foiled. Huzzah!
Look, even if they're right about this, we've all heard the one about the boy and the wolves. Misleading us into fear so many times just stops paying off in the long run. Decreasing marginal returns and all that. Hey, I thought these folks were supposed to be Republicans - aren't they the ones who're ostensibly good at economics?
