Alleged Terrorist Attack in Jerusalem

This morning in the city center of Jerusalem there was an alleged terrorist attack. A Palestinian attacked buses and automobiles with a backhoe - at least two people were killed and dozen were hurt.

A backhoe ... who does that??? Despite the insidiousness of using a backhoe for Jerusalem is in the midst of a construction boom, it is reminiscent of a "redneck" tactic. What next rampant ATVs in the Old City and bass boats along the River Jordan blaring Lynard Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama?" This begs for a Jeff Foxyworth joke - "You know you're redneck terrorist when you ..." Patrick Swayze's seminal film, "Next of Kin", foreboded the dire consequences of rednecks with a vendetta. One can only hope that the marriage of these two cultures are limited to prolification of Nascar and John Deere hats.

Nonetheless, I am OK. I was class during the incident. Please do not worry for, at this time, it does not make a trend in terrorist violence.
