BIG SPRING, Texas (AP) - An explosion rocked an oil refinery Monday in a violent blast
that shook buildings miles away and injured at least four people, the mayor said.

The blast sent black smoke billowing into the sky, closed schools, shut down a major interstate and left residents rattled.

"It was extremely scary. You shook you were so scared," said Laura McEwen, the mayor's wife who lives about two miles from the refinery. "Our walls shook. It jolted your bed. It was like an earthquake."

Now, for the politically incorrect information regarding this story from the Northeast Intelligence Network (I'm sure the Leftist readers of this blog will wince at this; par for the course- wince away, fellas!):

ALON employs about 170 people and produces about 70,000 barrels a day. A Dallas based company, ALON is a majority owned company by ALON Israel Oil Co. Ltd. Although no cause for the explosion has been determined, this refinery has reportedly been the target of surveillance within the last 18 months, by at least two men of Middle Eastern appearance.

Oh, the Left is saying it's an accident? Of course. It always is. No one did it on purpose; absolutely not; impossible! Of course. No one would ever dare do such a thing on purpose; no one means any harm at all; everyone is peaceful; no exceptions; there's no evil in the world, no terrorists at all. Of course. No need to worry. Just be blissfully ignorant and happy. Enjoy the drugs, the devil-may-care sex and the easy, lazy, no-responsibility socialism.

Wake up. Millions did on September 11th, 2001. Millions more await their turn to awaken.
