Dangerous Logic

The Safety Of Our Nation Depends On Their Satisfaction With Their Next Fast Food Experience

You're pissed off with the service you got at McDonald's, so you threaten to blow up the Pentagon. Makes perfect sense to me. From local6.com (have I mentioned lately that I love local6.com?):

HOUSTON -- A statewide alert remained in effect in Texas Friday for two men accused of threatening to blow up the Pentagon, KPRC-TV in Houston reported.

Wharton authorities and officials with the FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety said a man in his 50s and a man in his 20s were apparently upset with the food and service at a McDonald's restaurant in Wharton, Texas, at about 2 p.m. Thursday when they made the alleged threats.

The manager notified Wharton police about the threats, which prompted authorities to issue the statewide alert.

"Two gentlemen made threats toward blowing up McDonald's and also blowing up the Pentagon. By the time officials arrived, the men had already fled the scene. We immediately contacted the FBI, who is conducting the investigation at this point," Wharton Police Department Capt. Richard Coleman said.

And the punch line?

The FBI said the men were of Middle Eastern descent.
