Dear Blog....

Sorry it has been so long... life has been um.... stressful? lately and I just didn't have blogging in me... so...

Help me out here... Joan Rivers was just detained in an airport for a passport snafu. Joan Rivers. K. Hold that thought.
Christmas day, *insert muslim name here that I'm not taking the time to look up* boards a plane in Amsterdam bound for Detroit with A BOMB IN HIS UNDERWEAR. Granted, the components were separate when he boarded the plane, but still... And apparently, according to eye witnesses on the same flight, Loser al Blah Blah didn't even have a passport when he boarded. Mmmk. That's awesome. What's more awesome is that HE WAS ON A FREAKING TERRORIST WATCH LIST after his father reported him to authorities LAST YEAR because of his extreme radical islamist views.... Still got on the plane. Thankfully the attempt failed when the device did not ignite properly and other passengers took him down before he could try again. The happy ending is that no one was critically injured, no one died, and the families and friends of 300+/- people didn't spend their holiday grieving their loved ones who perished when the plane exploded. Thank God. Really, THANK YOU, GOD. But really... if he had farted just right, that plane and everyone on it were goners. No passport. Warnings to FBI/Interpol/foreign embassies from attacker's own father. TERRORIST WATCH LIST.
K. Now...Joan Rivers. When Joan Rivers was flying out of Costa Rica back to America, she was detained at the airport because her passport listed her deceased husband's last name PLUS her own. As in, "Joan Rosenberg, aka Joan Rivers"... They aren't playing in Costa Rica, they mean business... And in the end, she had to drive SIX AND HALF HOURS to another airport in order to fly home to America. Seriously? Really??? I mean... she had two names on her passport, one of which is the name by which the world knows her. We aren't talking like, Keely Anthony, aka Keely Sisco. We're talking Joan Freaking Rivers. Who doesn't know Joan Rivers? I mean, please. Sure, she had two names on her passport, officials were skeptical of that, yada yada yada. All they had to do was light a match by her face to see if it melted or not. But whatever.
SO. To recap: Muslim with expired visa/no passport on terrorist watch list, reported by father to international law enforcement agencies for extremist views boards plane bound for US with a bomb in his skivvies. Widely known celebrity Joan Rivers detained at airport even though her passport listed not only one, but TWO names by which she is legally known. Ummmmmmmmm...... should I have my common sense meter checked??
