1. Distract us once, shame on you. You're not distracting us again!

2. "'And out comes Tom Ridge"....Howard Dean 2004

There he comes again!

3. They are screwing us in so many ways.

Since every time there is some kind of bad news Ridge pukes up a Terra Lert to distract us, eventually nobody will pay attention at all. I've totally stopped believing anything ridge says, even though I know Osama and his goons are out there and probably will try something again, someday. This boy-who-cried-wolf effect Bush and Ridge are creating will bite us in the ass when they really do something...

4. What? US worried about terrorism?

I don't understand. I mean, we still have * as our president, and we are fighting terrorism in Iraq...so why worry, just be happy!

5. but, but, but...I thought Cheney said

... terrorists will attack only if Kerry wins.

so which is it? are they just trying to scare everyone shitless, maybe?

using the deaths of 3000 people to hide their totally worthless record on issues like the economy and health care and...

how many people die in America every year because they don't have access to affordable health care and thus take advantage of prevention?

oh, wait, terrorism, terrorism!!!!

[Green Lantern]

6. Ridge is

right on time-just like the little cuckoo in my old Granma's clock-he pops out the door to announce "Terra".

7. hmmm

Nah, it couldn't be!

8. ROFLMAO. Good catch, Josh.
