Panic! We Serious!

Apparently, my hometown is one of the most vulnerable spots in the U.S. for terrorist attacks.

 

SEATTLE -- People in Boise, Idaho, have taken pride in favorable lifestyle rankings their city has picked up recently: No. 2 on Forbes' best places for business and careers; No. 9 on Inc.com's hottest cities for entrepreneurs; No. 1 National Geographic adventure town; and No. 8 on Money magazine's best places to live.
 
But one title startled and baffled nearly everyone: city most vulnerable to terrorism in the Western United States.

 

... "Everybody was surprised," said Charles McClure, a spokesman for the Boise Police Department. "Basically, we don't understand how they arrived at that conclusion."
 

 

... "It surprised us too," said researcher Walter W. Piegorsch, a mathematics professor at the University of Arizona, coauthor of "Benchmark Analysis for Quantifying Urban Vulnerability to Terrorist Incidents."

Let's leave aside, for a moment, the fact that most Americans can't find Boise on a map, let alone foreign terrorists. Let's leave aside, for a moment, the fact that there are more guns than people there.

I think it's more important to realize that they just repelled a horde of zombies marching through the city.

Terrorists? Please.

Mmm, zombies.
Seriously. Do terrorists hate potatoes? Is that what they're implying here?
