Don’t matter–the Republican Party has been infected with this, like a disease.
It’s very, very bad for our country.
and every time I try to explain it to somebody, in a restaurant or coffee shop, they give me funny looks, like I was from Mars.
Joe Average doesn’t seem to be able to grasp this.

Has anyone done a study on this? I’d love to see a graph showing the rate of “incidents” like this and our nifty color-coded terror chart, and how they relate to election days.
The rest of the group arrived safely. Either they were infiltrated, or the combination of booze, hookers and free thought in this country beguiled another set of poor furriners.

Well, apparently its pretty easy to apprehend “terrorists” when they turn themselves in.

So every time a dozen tourists don’t turn up at their hotel, just get the NY Times onto the scoop!! This Homeland Security thing is a doddle, isn’t it?
I just don’t understand this: these guys all come in (together? That’s implied) to specifically go to the University of Montana. I won’t assume they all knew each other, because I was an exchange student myself once (went through the Rotary - maybe university exchanges are different). Presumably, each had an itinerary, pre-purchased tickets to arrive there, and a place they were expected - presumably in Montana. Yet they did not follow their itineraries, did not use their tickets, did not check in, and did not apparently provide any method by which they could be contacted (cell phone? Emergency contact numbers?)
How long were they missing? How did they get scattered so widely without using ANY traceable funds at all? How did they afford to travel that distance at all, without cars, or traceable funds with which to buy tickets on public transportation?
As I say, I was an exchange student. If I had gone missing, the Rotary would have been in touch with my hometown Rotary very rapidly. I had very strict rules I was expected to follow (I didn’t follow them, but neither did I take off for parts unknown and vanish into society).
