"This Bike is a Pipe Bomb."
When things get crazy, you can bet the crazies are running amok. A bicycle parked on the campus of Ohio University was destroyed by a bomb squad because it had a sticker on it promoting a rock band. “This Bike is a Pipe Bomb,” the sticker said. The dean of stup—er, students—said he was pleased by the bomb squad’s actions. What’s wrong with this picture?
Same thing that’s wrong with calling in National Security when someone reads a book on an airplane. Or rousts a guy for t-shirts that make fun of government agencies. National or Homeland Security has become a Sacred Something, and nothing, but absolutely nothing, can do anything besides worship it. Homeland Security, run by jackoffs like Michael Chertoff, running-dogs of swine like John Negroponte, and wannabe dictators like George Bush, should be made to dress in clown suits and sit on the seats in dunk tanks while we throw baseballs at the little targets. In my darker moments I think the dunk tanks should be filled with sewage.
But I'm just kidding. Ice water would be plenty good enough in the dunk tanks.

Ohio University Dean of Students Terry Hogan says an Ohio University police officer spotted a bicycle attached to the Oasis restaurant at 5:30 a.m. this morning with a sticker containing a message attached to it.
"'This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb' is the name of a band out of Pensacola, Fla.," said Hogan. "The sticker was actually a promotional item for that entity."
A bomb squad was called in from Columbus to investigate the bike, resulting in an evacuation of four buildings on campus for more than three hours.
The area was cordoned off and Gordy Hall, Ellis Hall, Scott Quad and Konneker Alumni Center were all closed until 8:40 a.m. when police allowed students students and faculty into the buildings and the immediate area.
Hogan says police were informed from the owner of the bike that the sign in question was just a sticker. The bomb squad disabled the bike to confirm that.
The bike owner's name is not being released but Hogan says he has cooperated with the investigation.
All in all, Hogan says the university is pleased with the response from OUPD and Athens Police and fire in handling the scare. He says protocol updated after 9/11 was used for the first time in response to the potential threat.
OUPD is investigating the incident but no criminal charges have been filed.
