Ahhhhh, it's a beautiful Monday morning… and who needs coffee when you have cops armed with AKs and "yellow-orange-ish" terror threats? New York is on lockdown today, the Holland Tunnel is closed to commercial vehicles and friends practically require police escorts to walk their dogs in the Financial District. But some skeptical New Yorkers are still shrugging. At a rooftop bar on Sunday, the one local noted: "Of course there's a terror alert. The GOP had to prevent John Kerry from getting a post-Convention bounce in the polls."

Word now is that the terror info was credible and came from a 25-year-old Al Qaeda computer geek.

Meantime, for your terror-alert entertainment, imagine America being protected … by marionettes. That's right, it's the next must-see movie from "South Park"'s Trey Parker and Matt Stone, "Team America: World Police." Drudge claims the White House is in a snit about the movie mocking the "War on Terror." But as far as we're concerned, any movie with ass-kicking puppets sounds like fun to us.
