This episode of Madame Secretary opened with a car nearly identical to mine pulling into a parking space. The driver, a bearded, pensive looking man, was next shown in line in a coffee shop. Seconds after being asked by a young woman if the empty chair at his table was free, he opened his jacket revealing the explosives attached to his chest. Then he detonated the bomb, killing twenty-one people and injuring others. Because this incident occurred in the hometown of one of the Secretary of State's staff members, who also happens to be half Pakistani and a non-practicing Muslim, the crap generally hits the fan for him. By the end of the episode, where George Clooney is mentioned more than once but never seen, the staff member has been exonerated and all is well. I hope to live to see the day in this country where people are not judged by their religion. I'm just glad all blue Subaru Outback owners weren't taken to task over driving the same car as the bomber. Because then I'd be in trouble. Profiling sucks.
