DAVENPORT, Iowa -- A television station is reporting three bank robberies happened about the same time President George W. Bush and Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry were speaking at separate venues in Davenport Wednesday morning. ... Davenport police say they could not comment and were helping to direct the political leaders' motorcades.

It's called the John Kerry Effect.

Well, if I'm planning a robbery, you better believe I'd do it around a diversionary event that takes up most of the law enforcement agencies in the area.

Strange that they didn't see this coming.

Now that's a good mind of a criminal.

Your point?

[watermock]

Of course you create a diversion.

You think I think your an idiot?

The diversion is fundamental, unless your trying for the maximum casualties.

That is that is so bad about double bombings. The double kill. 400 rescue workers killed at WTC.
