You'd expect this kind of thing to kill itself off....

I'm still anxiously awaiting for some "leading from the front" and "power of example" by those urging OTHERS to participate in the glory of martyrdom.

Well you know the holiday season! Everyone's busy this time of year.

On a more serious note, this is the perfect time of year for a domestic terrorist's assault - if you were a suicider which would be more enticing to you - a border checkpoint in the middle east, or Macy's in NY on a Saturday morning?

So keep your eyes open everyone!
