Buckshot in nuclear transport truck: terrorist or bubba?

Target practice in rural Louisiana? Big deal.

Target practice using the side of a truck carrying uranium fuel rods? That might be worth another look.

Sometime in the early morning hours of Sept. 20, 2008 someone took a shot at a truck transporting radioactive fuel to the South Texas Project near Bay City. According to a copy of an incident report filed by STP security, the damage wasn't noticed until the driver of the truck, operated by the Utah firm EnergySolutions, tried to enter the plant site. The report states:

"While performing receipt inspection and survey of new fuel truck, damage to the vehicle was noted on the drivers side of the cab which appeared to be a shotgun blast. The truck drivers stated that they had heard a loud noise which sounded like a tire blow out a few miles before entering Texas. They had pulled over and checked the tires but found no problems at the time."

1. Looziana Dumbass. Terrorists know that shotguns don't work against

truck carrying nuclear fuel rods.

4. At first, I thought your post said

Tourists know .... then I enlarged it

Seriously, though, you are probably right ... except that Bubba is a terrorist

5. Well, I've been a tourist in Louisiana, so you may be closer

than you think. OTOH, the best breakfast I ever had in my life came from a little diner on some back road. Pork chops and eggs. It was absolutely perfect, and I've never eaten a breakfast that good since. That was in 1965. I'm still looking. Other than that, I found Louisiana a good place to get through on the way to somewhere else.

Then there's Texas I spent three months in that state one weekend. Just kidding...

3. My Money..

6. wow.

royal dumbasses.

[phantom power]

7. Did it happen while a Republican was president, or a Democrat?

And, was the bubba a Republican voter or a Democratic voter?

If it happened while a Republican was president, and it was a Democratic bubba, the bubba was also an American Hating Nuclear Terrorist.

Otherwise, it was just some damn bubba.

8. Bubba is a terrorist

If Bubba is shooting at nuclear transport he is both stupid and a terrorist.

9. If we have death panels I propose we place them in the old Confederacy

To paraphrase Bill Hicks I think we should also have a castration/free dental work program as well, sort of a clean up the world pact.

10. If anybody is looking for a scapegoat

Then Bubba Goat has just entered the building! The dumb shit has been jealous ever since his Cousin Shaky got to be on the telethon, but now he'll get to be a poster child.....
