Bush Must Have Come Up with Today's "Aspirational Terrorist Scare," Because the Idea of the Hudson River Flowing UP Into Manhattan Defies the Law of Physics
Is it possible that Bush himself brainstormed with Rove about the latest “Terrorist Aspirational Scare”?

The first “reports” coming from the Rovian propaganda machine claimed that a vague group of suspected terrorists were planning to flood lower Manhattan by blowing up the Holland or Lincoln Tunnels.

There was just one major problem with this latest “scare them into voting Republican for a third time” tactic: it defied the laws of gravity and basic physics.

You see, Manhattan is ABOVE sea level. A body of water, such as the Hudson River, won’t rise UP without a rather sophisticated plumbing system. In short, bombing the Holland or Lincoln Tunnels could not possibly, according to the law of physics, flood lower Manhattan and “ruin the American economy by destroying Wall Street.”

1. They had a co-conspirator waiting at the Manhattan end...

...ready to start sucking on the mouth of the tunnel the second the bomb went off. Just like siphoning a car, really.

These aspirational terrorists are so aspirationally intelligent.

3. I just knew there was a logical explanation!

Thank you, Kutjara, for making it so clear to us lesser lights.

Just like drug smugglers, the evil-doers are always one step ahead of the rest of us.

2. The moral of this story is: If somebody asks you to pledge allegiance

to Osama, just say no.

4. Yeah, it's Friday, so I've come to expectorate

these bogus stories.

5. Let's not nitpick.

Just because water doesn't flow uphill is no reason not to panic.

And don't forget to panic retroactively because this plot was a year ago. Thank you for your cooperation.
