Annapolis Capital Punishment

Well that's just great! While our local governments don't have enough money for police or firefighters, while it took over a decade to break ground for a much-needed fire station on Annapolis Neck, while we routinely have sewage spills, we may now get a boat to patrol our many rivers and creeks and hundreds of miles of waterfront for "terrorists."

I can just imagine how this is going down with one of those "sleeper" cells:

Terrorist One: "Wake up! Wake up my sleeping brother. Allah is great. Now let's get on our boat and head to Anne Arundel County in Maryland, the land of the infidel where we will wreak havoc by releasing terrible chemicals into their air and water to terrorize the Great Satans."

Terrorist Two: "Maybe we should wait. I have just read that the infidels, may Allah smite them, are operating a new boat that patrols their waters for terrorism threats."

Terrorist One: "Those wily Great Satans. No doubt it is a Zionist-CIA plot. What shall we do now?"

Terrorist Two: "Wait. I have just read one Zionist-inspired web-site called "Capital Punishment" that the infidels are already polluting their air and water with filthy and dangerous chemicals. Why, they are terrorizing themselves with their own form of pollution. They cannot even seem to clean up their rivers. I have heard of their sewage runoff spilling over, shoreline over-development, overfishing, overeating, overconsuming, and generally being overbearing."

Terrorist One: "Yes, they are their own worst enemies. They could put we terrorists out of business. But, did you say "Capital Punishment"? That must surely be a Zionist plot! We are foiled again, but with Allah's will, may it one day come to pass that the infidel will pollute himself to death."

Terrorist Two: "Yes. And to think. They thought we were coming to pollute them so they got a boat, all the while seeming to ignore that they were polluting the air and water with wastes and chemicals. Stupid infidels. May Allah gleefully watch them all drown in their own wastes."

Yes--we have seen the enemy and the enemy is........terrorism!!!!....but not our own wasteful, nature-hating, get rich for nothing, there are no consequences, pass it all off to the "environment" lifestyle.....no, it's terrorists.
