Friday's Terrorist....


...is Monday's chopped liver.

Isn't it amazing? The story that gripped the country on Friday, the menacing account of "home grown" terrorists in Miami, is nowhere to be found. The equally gripping, Miami Herald, went back to babies tossed out windows and Super Termites; entering "terrorist" on its site this morning turned up one story about Israel and another about Washington, D.C. Either we were saved or fooled.

The group of crack heads rounded up in the abysmally poor neighborhood of the ironically named Liberty City had the combined brain cell capacity of an Arab doorknob. Lacking weapons or plans but funded by the federal government with a grant of $50,000, they are old news in three days and the Attorney General doesn't look any taller for it. How sad that he didn't shoot for moon and spend a million; he might have stayed on Broadway for at least another week.
