speaking of bert the yellow muppet...

[rmd]

looking at http://www.geekandproud.net/terror/, i notice we've been at yellow alert for quite a while, continuously. we're not "guarded", we're not at "high" alert. we're just continually "elevated". which has become ... "normal".

considering the confusion and mockery that resulted the last time we went to orange (quick! seal yourselves in an airtight room with tarps and duct tape!), want to bet we're never going to budge from "yellow" unless there's an actual attack on US soil? at which point we'll go to red (that is to say, martial law)

Or the day before election day we go to "red". Esp if the polls put Bush behind.

This is after all the party that rewrites districts in CO and TX to ensure it's majority, despite things like laws.

The party that tried to impeach a sitting president over laughable material, yet does nothing when their boy commits agressive warfare for the hell of it.

This is the party that is impeaching the Gov of CA because they think they can.

And will strike down the recent decision on the fairness of elections by a court that cited the Bush vs. Gore decision verbatim. But this time it's "different", I am sure.

Right now I'd expect anything.

Oh no.

It's a recall, not an impeachment. Impeachments require due process and things like that.

Recalls only require media hype and commercials.

But now the recall is in the process of being recalled. Or something, I just can't keep track any more.
