19. Yes, that's Dzokhar Tsarnaev

And you're correct: The media will call someone like Tsarnaev a terrorist because he's not a real live true-blue star-spangled American. They'll even call him a refugee to suit the current anti-refugee craze.

As for our headline-making friend in Colorado Springs, it's premature to say anything right now, but the smart money is going to be on a home-grown domestic terrorist. People across the country are poised and ready to enter his name into Facebook and Google as soon as he's identified, so they can assign him his proper tribal slot.
