This story from Texas is very confusing, but I thought you'd want to read it anyway. Two men who were very unhappy with their service at McDonalds threatened to blow up the Pentagon.

Wharton authorities and officials with the FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety said a man in his 50s and a man in his 20s were apparently upset with the food and service at a McDonald's restaurant in Wharton, Texas, at about 2 p.m. Thursday when they made the alleged threats.

Now, I can understand (sorta) threatening to blow up the McDonalds where you experienced poor service and food. People do that under their breath all the time. What I don't get is what the Pentagon has to do with it. The whole story just seems strange to me. And they threw in at the end of the story that the men were of Middle Eastern descent. What difference does it make what ethnic group they belong to? A threat is a threat. Sic 'em!
