Rick Santorum Warns of Terror Strike Against North Dakota’s 40th Most Populous City

Two terrorists stand over a table map of the United States in a darkly lit room somewhere in Northwest Pakistan:

Terrorist #1: At last, our dreams have come true: We have secured enough nuclear material to produce a dirty bomb. Where shall we strike the American infidels?

Terrorist #2: New York? Washington?

Terrorist #1: No. Too obvious.

Terrorist #2: [scans map intently] Hmm ... we could hit Tioga, a thinly populated oil town in North Dakota. That would be somewhat bothersome. 

Terrorist #1: Perfect.

The end.
