From the Associated Press:

**SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP)–A warning that terrorists are plotting an attack in the United States this summer will have little effect on the security strategy at next month’s G-8 summit, officials said Wednesday.

"I don’t see these new threats being reported changing anything we have in place,’’ said Barry Bennett, spokesman for the federal Summit Planning Organization. "The security is already a 10, it doesn’t go to 11. We’re maxed.’’**

So I wonder, is Barry Bennett a fan of Spinal Tap? Is he being a wiseguy? Or has “go to 11” so thoroughly pervaded our vocabulary that even a humorless bureaucrat can use it as a matter of course?

At least he didn’t ask Osama bin Laden to “Lick My Love Pump.”

I thought this would be a story about sneaking cucumbers onto airplanes.

Did he have a woman smelling his glove during the press conference.

Er, throw a “?” on the end of that.

No no no. He was smelling the woman’s glove. There’s a thin line between clever and stupid.

Goddamnit, I let someone borrow that DVD. I’m in the mood to watch it now.

“This summer, hundreds of credible threats are being made by Al-Qaeda. No-one knows who they are, or what they are doing…”

Watch out for the drummer!

With a little clever trickery, maybe we can get a team of terrorists to crash a plane into an 18-inch model of the White House.
