Culture Buzz Bringing us one step closer to “Minority Report”, the TSA's “behavior detection officers” are now on the lookout for “anyone who displays arrogance or expresses contempt for the screening process.” By this logic, pretty much everyone's a terrorist.

An explosion ripped through Moscow's busiest airport this morning, killing at least 35 and injuring more than a hundred. This is amateur video of the moments immediately following the blast.

“Terror Baby” mania is sweeping the U.S.! This crazy meme is the far-right's latest line of attack against the evil 14th amendment. Now, the argument's champion, Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert was on Anderson Cooper. They shouted a lot about it.

Gang members opened fire on a bus on the outskirts of El Salvador's capital, then doused it with gasoline and set it on fire, killing at least 14 passengers in what the president on Monday called an act of terror.
For just $50 you can class up your home or office with this 9/11 commemorative painting straight out of an imaginary alternate reality. I'll let the seller explain: “In an alternate universe after 9/11 (our nation's tragedy) McDonald's builds a giant GOLDEN ARCHES memorial to replace the fallen World Trade Towers. THEN, they go ahead and sell paintings of said memorial. This is that painting, and when you buy it you are living in that alternative universe. Go ahead, quit your job. It's the end of the world as you know it and you feel like eating a Whopper. Burger King is pretty good!”
Politics Buzz Teabaggers may have their very own terrorist. Austin Pilot Joe Stack, the troubled individual who (apparently deliberately) flew his plane into an IRS building this morning, reportedly left a manifesto behind that was largely an anti-taxation rant. (Thanks to Lefty for the nickname.) Update: Although Joe Stack's political affiliations (assuming he has some) aren't fully known yet, there's already a kind of disturbing outpouring of support for him in the form of anti-tax Facebook groups. Will be interesting to see where this one leads.
