Today's Gawker.com has a quiz called:
Are you worried about a terrorist attack this summer? Well? Are ya?The answers:
- Yes. It is a dangerous place out there, filled with people who wish to do us harm for no particular reason except that whole alienating the entire Muslim world thing.
- Yes. I am not very good at critical thinking and am easily manipulated by attempts to gin up my fear level to distract me from the ongoing disaster that is Iraq.
- Yes. The government was too inept to protect a major American city from rain, how the hell are they going to stop a couple of determined jihadists with fake I.D.s and pinking shears?
- No. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen; I am not going to crap my pants in fright every time Michael Chertoff tries to scare the shit out of me.
- Sorry, what? I was just playing with my new iPhone. Have you seen this thing?
I'm partial to the "government was too inept to protect a major American city from rain" answer.
Gawker rocks.
