Recent Acts of Terror

Dearest readers (assuming this blog actually has readers), you may have noted recently that the United States issued a travel alert for Europe amid heightened suspicions of terrorism. It is my deepest regret to inform you that the terrorists have struck again. This time, however, the target was not a railway, aircraft, subway, or ship. This time, the attack was electronic. This time, the target was none other than our dear friend and colleague Greg Brinck. The New York Times should soon report that, shortly before midnight on Monday, October 4th, an unknown terrorist group electronically sabotaged Greg Brinck's blog, Life in the Burbs (affectionately know to The Response as the "Mother Ship"). The attack removed Greg's post for that day. Early speculation is that Greg dropped such a bombshell of a post that the terrorists had to move fast.

Sadly, there has been some speculation that there was no terrorist attack yesterday. These conspiracy theorists insist that Greg did not post anything on his blog. In other words, they are blaming Greg for the lack of a blog post. I hope nobody falls victim to this line of nonsense. To believe this is to question Greg's work ethic and dedication to Life in the Burbs. To believe this is to believe that I, the Responding Guy, am more dedicated to The Response than Greg is to Life in the Burbs. To believe this would be to believe that Greg is a hypocrite (see the "New Fame" post). Friends, I refuse to adopt such a belief. And if you believe that Greg, after questioning my work ethic and commitment to The Response, turned around and failed to make his daily post, thus turning himself into a hypocrite, the terrorists have won.
