Way too cold out there for terrorism

Silver-blue: our current terror threat level, or the color of the First Lady's inauguration ballgown? Hard to tell these days, now that the DHS is saying that it has greatly overestimated the threat of an al Qaeda attack at this week's presidential inauguration (WP). Seriously, guys, we all know that the whole attempted-assassination- at-heavily-guarded-function thing only ever happens in James Bond movies or on Alias.

However, given the arctic blast that is currently sweeping through DC, there is certainly an elevated risk of visible nipples at inauguration festivities. I advise the Bush women, and indeed all female Washingtonians, to take the necessary precautions before donning sheer gowns.
