6. Hope we get an update soon. Might be the newest Tea Party act of terrorism.

I hope not, but between the 'liberal' dead cat and the Palin 'targets' there is little I wouldn't put past them. Sorry to offend our resident baggers, but if it looks like...

This happened in broad daylight at about 11 Am EST according to the reports.

Who knows where the local Tea Party thug squad was at the time? Or has Homeland Security branched out?

17. The missus--they thought she wasn't home, but she was.

From the above link:

Police say Debra Brady ignored a knock on the door at about 11am this morning. About an hour later, investigators say, her television signal went off when someone cut the TV cable and the wires for the burglar alarm.

According to Congressman Brady (D-Pa.), who spoke with KYW Newsradio, Mrs. Brady heard someone at the back door of the home in the 7000 block of Brentwood Road. When she opened a window blind and looked outside, one man was at the door and two others — all wearing surgical masks and hoodies — were sitting on the patio furniture.

“I was a wreck, I didn’t know what to do,” said Mrs. Brady.

She yelled and banged on the window from the inside, according to Rep. Brady, scaring them off. He says she called 911 from her cell phone and Phladelphia police responded immediately.
