    I took the subway right through there late last night without any idea this stuff was going on.

    There is also a theory this had something to do with the threats against Comedy Central because of the South Park cartoon that lampooned Mohammed.
    The SUV was parked on 45th street, just a few feet from the Broadway headquarters of Viacom, which owns Comedy Central.

    The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, to give it its full name, has killed thousands of Pakistanis, and has far, far more technical expertise on bombs, and just as important, access to real explosives, than this device indicates. So I'd be surprised if it was them. They probably said so because real U.S. drone bombs fall on them with regularity.

    I imagine a few dozen more will be falling soon enough.

    The Comedy Central "news" boys pick on Glen Beck and the Teabaggers a helluva lot more than South Park picks on Mohammad. Just sayin'.

    What has that got to do with anything? You think Glen Beck or the Teabggers -- crazy though they may be -- are likely to plant a bomb in Times Square?

    I take shots at liberals every day. What's your point? Do you doubt this thread will not totally degenerate once the suspect is identified?
