Code Orange?

From Newsweek:

In an intelligence document obtained by NEWSWEEK, a group of CIA analysts makes a prediction: “By the end of the project, the analysts judged that under the stipulated scenario there is a 59 percent probability that an attack on the U.S. homeland involving WMD would occur before 31 March 2003, a 35 percent probability an attack would occur at a later date, and a 6 percent probability an attack would never occur.” It all seems so precise and frightening: a better than 90 percent chance that Saddam will succeed in hitting America with a weapon spewing radiation, germs or poison. But it is important to remember that the odds are determined by averaging a bunch of guesses, informed perhaps, but from experts whose careers can only be ruined by underestimating the threat.[my emphasis]

Ya know, I heard from my brother's friend's sister's boss's baby cousin's chat friend from luxembourg said we might be attacked... maybe we should move the warning to code red

I heard on the radio yesterday that they had downgraded to code yellow, I bought more duct tape

And after that, Code Red With Some Purple Around It...

Then perhaps we'll do Code Not-Quite-Red-But-We-Are-Really-Getting-A-Bit-Chafed-at-This-Boys.....

And then, whattya know, it'll suddenly be Code-Yellow again.

Asprin, anybody?

Maybe Code Mauve? Code Fuschia?
Its not really orange, but a little on the yeller side (yellow in redneckish...)





yes I realize neither mauve, nor fuschia is anywhere near yellow, orange, or red

On the interesting side is that I live in Washington DC and NOBODY bothered to buy either duct tape or plastic sheting. They attack us, we're the first to go so why bother?

[Theophylact]

Well, I was at Strosnider's Hardware in Bethesda last week, and they had racks of duct tape at the checkout lanes, and the guy in front of me bought a dozen rolls.

Me? Lightbulbs and a spatula.

Dang forgot the WD-40

got the duct tape though

I think they should drop the whole idea. That way if something happens, people will have one more thing to blame Bush for. "They knew and did'nt warn us".

Please....Just go out and take a deep breath of freedom!
