Tigers: The New Terrorist Threat

What's with tigers these days, trying to take the headlines away from pit bulls and the Taliban? First a tiger attacked 3 young men on Christmas Day (killing one) and now a tiger attacked a cute fluffy stray dog in Memphis, the city that killed MLK. Minutes from now you should see all kinds of news outlets converging on zoos across the country, just waiting for the next tiger incident. These tigers must be stopped! Tiger terror code "golden-retriever red"!

And if anyone is wondering about that whole "climate change" issue let me just tell you now that a tornado touched down about an hour ago in Clark County Washington, just across the Columbia River from Portland. For those of you in or from tornado alley who are scoffing at this news since this is an almost daily occurrence in your parts, this is HIGHLY UNUSUAL for springtime or summer weather, let alone winter weather, here in the Pacific Northwest. Snow we sometimes get, ice, sure sometimes. And if it's NOT raining, then we wonder. But thunder storms or tornado warnings? Those just don't happen 'round these parts.

The end of the world is neigh. If the tigers don't get ya, the tornados sure will.
