NEW YORK -- The federal government warned today of possible terrorist attacks against "iconic" financial institutions in New York City, Washington and Newark, N.J., saying a confluence of intelligence over the weekend pointed to a car or truck bomb.
In related news, Homeland Security reported that there have been sightings of a Big Scary Wolf near the edges of Your Village. "These aren't the usual Wolf reports - there's serious chatter among shepherd sources and we've interrogated a bunch of sheep lately who've confirmed that the Wolf is out there and identified a bunch of different parts of the village where the wolf may strike next."
I'm getting really tired of the irresponsibility of the American press reporting this stuff uncritically.
