There’s nothing at all on the Daily Kos front page about the London car bomb plot, of course. It doesn’t advance the cause for them to discuss terrorism of any sort, unless they can “frame” it as Bush’s fault.

But in the diaries, the Kidz are already raving: Daily Kos: London Bomb—What a Crock of Crap!!

You know what you call a vehicle with 50 gallons of gas? A Cadillac Escalade. The media meltdown over this incident is simply shameful. …

Judging from the overreaction to this non-incident I think we can safely conclude that Osama Bin Laden will remain holed up in Pakistan and let the fear mongers at CNN, MSNBC, and FOX do the dirty business of scaring the sh*t out of people.

A commenter thoughtfully suggests that it’s a CIA plot:

CIA op against Brown? (0 / 0)

This is so ridiculously over the top, and it’s suspicious that such a major “terrorism” event happened in the heart of London mere days after Blair was replaced by Brown. One wonders if this is a CIA operation to send a message to Brown not to “go soft” on the Cheney view of total war. Or maybe it’s not the CIA, but disgruntled Blair black baggers who are freelancing as a final “screw you” as they go out the door.

Considering the known things that have been happening in the world since Bush seized power, it’s hard not to view everything through the prism of phantasmagoric Hollywood-style secret plots. The only thing we’ve been missing are aliens and/or time travelers.

Are you shaking or biting the invisible hand?
