Even Al-Qaeda Criticizing Our Transportation System Now

It's Thursday and we're STILL slogging through this week that won't seem to end. I don't know about you, but I need a nap and maybe a laugh. Well, can't do much for you on the nap end, especially since the janitor stole my nest of shredded copier paper from under my desk, but this article from The Onion should provide the laugh. According to the (satirical) article, Al-Qaeda leaders criticized the U.S. government for its lack of foresight in failing to provide Americans with efficient and reliable modes of public transport to reduce traffic congestion, lower carbon emissions, improve air quality, and supply suitable targets for terrorists.
