I am so afraid!

[leftofthedial]

I don't know whether Osaddama will fly an airplane into my house

or mail me anthrax

or release chem or bio weapons upwind from my city

or set off a nuke at the mall

or put bad, nasty stuff in my food

or blow up the nuke plant

or sneak across the Mexican border with a bad batch of tamales, or what . . .

I'm so scared of THEM that I'm beginning to get paranoid about US.

I need the MISSION to be ACCOMPLISHED.

[ExclamationPoint]

1. Don't Fear

Even in the most desperate of times, the only thing to fear is fear itself. Be strong, bold, and brave. That's the only way to succeed and keep the nation sane.

[leftofthedial]

3. actually, it's only the bad tamales that I'm worried about

I just am so sick and tired of the ongoing campaign of fear and uncertainty

Thompson spouting off about the vulnerability of the food supply was ludicrous.

[glarius]

6. What if they sneak across the Mexican border wearing Canadian airport

employees uniforms with bad tamales?....

edit:...you have heard about the missing airport uniforms, eh?....CNN has reported it several times today.

[leftofthedial]

8. I wouldn't put it past THEM

to do something that underhanded

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. My god did the tamales have beans in them?

Oif, then you can combine all of the above with gas warfare.

;-)

[leftofthedial]

22. thankfully, no

but the Mexicans have been gassing their own people for centuries.

I can attest that the practice even crossed the border into New Mexico.

[SpiralHawk]

10. The only good tamale

is the homemade tamale.

Same as it ever was.

[leftofthedial]

13. I'm gonna make a big batch this weekend

definitely

[immoderate]

26. Even bad tamales are good.

2. just sing a happy song

fess up we like wars
We like our enemies large
And unarmed
not little itty bitish Like SARS
Bug wars are so covert
In America we're not scared!
we’re alert.
Like Cheney in a shelter far below
What are we today, code yellow?
America will stay healthy and strong
best way I know
is with a good song:


ANTHRAX IS EASY

We like enemies large
not little ity bitish.
We'll try to be strong
we're just a mite scared
best way I know
is with a good song:


I paid a toll,
I got some change,
I went to town and bought some stuff and then I took the train
I ate a burger, a soda, and crap I shouldnt oughta ,
cuz now I got the anthrax and I'm wondrin where its from...


Anthrax is easy if you're startin to sneeze your gonna wonder if you'll ever grow old.
Anthrax is easy cuz its cured with Cipro and not contagious like the uncommon cold - like SARS - not contagious like the uncommon cold

I went to work,
and like a jerk,
I used the water fountain and got somthin on my shirt and in a letter,
I opened, I really should know better,
but Ed McMann just said I'd won and now I'm wondrin where its from .. .(chorus)

I came right home ,
I used the phone,
I called my doc in quarantine and asked him for some pills and in the bathroom, later,
I used some toilet paper now I've got a sore not there before I'm wondrin where its from.

( chorus)

I watched the news,
took off my shoes,
I took a shower for an hour then I went to bed but in my dreams,
I screamed , the duct tape burst its seams,
We're told we should beware the air you don't know where its been

(chorus)

In the morning,
I got changed,
I went to town and bought some stuff and then I took the train
I ate a pizza,
eclair, and some stuff that had grown hair,
but now I got the anthrax and I'm wondrin where its from...

Anthrax is easy if you're startin to sneeze your gonna wonder if you'll ever grow old. Anthrax is easy cuz its cured with Cipro and not contagious like the uncommon cold - like SARS - not contagious like the uncommon cold <-take it james- piano riff->,,I'm telling ya they make buggers...<-more piano->... every wheeeeere. cough cough cough

[andyhappy]

4. dont worry

:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

[tandem5]

5. southbound 405, sepulveda pass...

going downhill at 70 MPH in the carpool lane with stop-and-go traffic in the other lanes and nothing but two yellow painted lines keeping a twitchy SUV driver from pulling in front of you... now that's scary!

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. Heh!

Very scary!

[Tyler Durden]

7. You SHOULD be afraid.

Not for any of the reasons the Fascists WANT you to be, but for the coming CRASH.

Even the Republican economists (example: Roach from Morgan Stanley) thing we are headed for what he called "The Economic Perfect Storm."

Think 30% unemployment, massive stagflation, hungry kids and sick seniors. Add in Martial Law, an armed populace, and stir.

BOOM.

[leftofthedial]

9. okay, now I AM afraid

CRASH

BOOM

It sure ain't gonna get better.

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. That's depressing

:-( With 30% unemployment, how is bu$hco, Inc. gonna pay for their oily wars? Will the rich have to finally pony up? :shrug:

[leftofthedial]

18. end-stage capitalism is an ugly, ugly thing

it only works when some resource is essentially free to exploit

of course, in determining that it is "free," capitalism ignores the real value and the human consequences of the exploitation

In the US the "free" resources have run out. These have included:

labor
real estate
timber
minerals
labor again
capital itself
oil
brain power (intellectual property)

they need economic collapse to ensure another round of "free" labor

at the end stage of the expoloitation of a resource, that is when it becomes scarce, capitalists hoard it

[More Than A Feeling]

24. I thought that when a resource became scarce, the price went up

thus giving everyone incentive to either switch to the least cost alternative, or invent the least cost alternative

[leftofthedial]

25. hence the hoarding

when gas is $25 a gallon, they want to own it all or at least control the worldwide supply and distribution.

They also want to be sure that in teh meantime, they delay alternatives for as long as possible and then own or control those alternatives.

[Connie_Corleone]

11. Go shopping.

That's what Bush told us to do.

[leftofthedial]

14. even with the dirty nuke that might be down at the mall?

plus, I don't trust that old guy with the bad-fitting false teeth who greets me at Wal Mart.

[sangh0]

15. Osaddama!!!

That's funny

[billie_]

17. i'm afraid of us allowing our votes not to be counted and our "leaders" to

be war criminals

and our media to be corporatized

i am afraid of just what we the people will allow....

where the hell is my tamale?

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Want some beans

WMDs that's the spirit

[billie_]

21. beans? glad you asked, yes, I do Pile 'em on! n/t

[AgadorSparticus]

23. be very afraid. i've had bad tamales and they're wicked. but when they

are good, they are oh so good! :)
