Ask me if I really believe news reports that terrorists are threatening US malls. Not any more than when we used to prank-call bars & ask if they had Prince Albert in the can. For those uninitiated to US adolescent humor in the days before video games, Prince Albert was a tobacco & the can is a toilet. If the clerk answered yes, we would say, “You’d better let him out.”

And that’s as credible as those reports are.
