just be AFRAID. VERY AFRAID. NOW.

Dick Morris: Bush has to raise the level of fear.....

3. What's the color code? Pants-crapping Pink? Screaming Yellow Bonkers?
Violent Violet? Islamist Ivory? Very Scary Berry? Panic Peach?

Informed but panicked Americans need to know!

20. I salute you as a fellow Panicked-American!!
Would you like to fight terrorism by going shopping with me in an alert, vaguely panicky state of mind?

9. is there a NYC meeting place? (for DUers)
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 03:18 PM by nostamj
the friend I would have gone with can't make it. I'm very reluctant to go alone.

oddly, I've heard very little about the NYC march. is there a rally first? :shrug:

sorry, been a shut-in writing and writing and writing to get material into rehearsal...

12. There's an after march spot I'll PM
Don't know about a pre march meeting point. Int'l Answer says people should filter down Madison toward 23rd Street from 34th Street.

19. That's probably WHY the alert was upgraded
All of those antiamerican commie pinkos gathering en masse around the country -- it's a sure recipe for disaster. :eyes:

Seriously though, am I the only one who thinks this might be a ruse to allow rougher police tactics in the name of homeland security?

But that's the idea - you MUST CONTINUE SHOPPING!!!!
Do all the things you would normally do, but do them in a panicked and fearful state of mind.

Don't change your daily routines, but remain alert to exploding rental trucks, falling buildings or eruptions of ugly pustules on your extremities, accompanied by fever and chills.

Because if you stop shopping, (all together now),

THE TERRORISTS WIN!!

26. AND THE FEAR GOES ON... (lyrics)
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 03:42 PM by nostamj
my revue is going to be a bust!

this is appropriate for this thread:

to the tune of "The Beat Goes On"
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON

PROPAGANDA IS A EATIN' ON MY BRAIN
BIN LADIN DAADDIN DEE... SADDAM DAADI DAA
TOM RIDGE WITH HIS COLOR CHART
BLAH BLAH
DUCT TAPE FROM THE QUICKEE MART
BLAH BLAH

ALL THEIR BLATHER MAKES US GROW BLASE
UH HUH
WE DON’T TRUST A THING THEY SAY
UH HUH

AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON

PROPAGANDA IS A EATIN' ON MY BRAIN
BIN LADIN DAADDIN DEE... SADDAM DAADI DAA
THEY SAY THAT THREATS KEEP RISING EVERYDAY
BUSH JUST WANTS TO BOMB THE WORLD AWAY

AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON

PROPAGANDA IS A EATIN' ON MY BRAIN
BIN LADIN DAADDIN DEE... SADDAM DAADI DAA
AND EVERY TIME WE SEE HIS RATINGS SLIP
EXPECT ANOTHER WARNING THAT MEANS ‘ZIP’

AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON

PROPAGANDA IS A EATIN' ON MY BRAIN
BIN LADIN DAADDIN DEE... SADDAM DAADI DAA
BUT BUSH WILL SOON BE WASHED OUT WITH THE TIDE
DON’T LET THE CHATTER HIDE THE FACT HE LIED

AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON
AND THE FEAR GOES ON

31. Oh my God! I just realized something!
I haven't gone shopping today! In fact, I just sent a check to put some money into my savings account!

Oh my GOD!! Does this make me a terrorist? Am I helping the terrorists to win?

There's but one remedy - I'm going out right now to buy a completely unecessary consumer product - and I'm going to fight terror by putting it on PLASTIC!!!!

USA!! USA!! USA!! USA!!
