Oh, Ricky.

The latest inanity, which may or not be a real world who gives a fuck, from Rick Santorum:
"Folks, you’ve got energy here [North Dakota]. They’re going to bother you. They’ll bother you, because you are a very key and strategic resource for this country," the Republican presidential candidate said. "No one is safe. No one is safe from asymmetric threats of terrorism.”
Three out of the fifty guys in my flight in boot camp were from North Dakota, an absurdly high ratio for such a lightly-populated state.  I promise you that  1) Iran has no idea North Dakota exists  2) about 10 seconds of listening to their chippy Midwestern accents talking about high school hockey will drive them away. Quickly.

Nice try, Ricky, but I don't think North Dakota needs to be too worried.  Santorum actually becoming president wold put them in much more grave danger than anyone or thing from Iran.
