According to Fox News, there have been some fascinating developments in the Times Square bomb case. Here's how things stand as of this moment:
- The license plates on the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder were stolen from a repair shop in Connecticut.
- The Pathfinder itself was sold three weeks ago through Craig's List. The last registered owner says he got $1300 in cash from a young man who looked "Middle Eastern" or "Hispanic."
- The FBI says they have a "person of interest" in the case -- a naturalized American citizen of Pakistani origin who recently returned from an extended visit to Pakistan.
- There is also apparently physical evidence within the Nissan that indicates that at least one of its recent passengers had been in contact with someone in Pakistan. (No, I don't quite know what that means, either. My hunch is a cell phone was found and its memory of recent calls examined.)
- The bomb had some serious flaws in its design. Some have likened it to one constructed using sources as the infamous "Anarchist Cookbook."
This, of course, is all consistent with the theory that the bomb was placed by radical right-wingers. After all, we know that the racist Teabaggers are secretly run by a cabal out of Islamabad...

You have fallen for the disinformation campaign.
Tea Partiers are not run by a cabal out of Islamabad.
The cabal in Islamabad is a front for the Tea Partiers.
Get your facts straight.

Careful, Poole. That argument could degenerate into a fight the likes of which the world hasn't seen since the Judean People's Front/People's Front Of Judea schism.

From NY Daily News:
Not to be outdone, Joe Biden asked for funding for a program that would purchase all 1993 Pathfinders advertised on Craigslist.

Had a roommate for a time who was Explosive Ordnance Disposal over in Viet Nam - he said one time they used to read the Anarchist's Cookbook for laughs. The manufacturing techniques for explosives would most likely kill you.

Jimmy H., your spoof isn't sufficiently over-the-top to be instantly recognized as satire around here. You'll have to kick it up a few notches if you want those plus votes.
