Have You Noticed - No Color Coded Terrorist Alerts for

[leftyladyfrommo]

months now.

Does that mean that we are safe? Or does it simply mean the whole idea was really stupid so it was just kind of dropped. Kind of like every other stupid thing just kind of gets dropped.

1. Didn't they stop . . .

. . . like the day after the last election?

[leftyladyfrommo]

2. Yea. I think it did now that you mention it.

We had a whole bunch of alerts and then the election and then nothing.

[bullimiami]

6. thats proof they were were just being played.

as if we needed more proof.

3. Can't raise it to "Orange"...

because that's the color of Cheney's hunting vest and that would remind everyone all over again of Deadeye Dick's greatest adventure...

4. I thought they officially retired the color coding

After it was revealed they were manipulating public fear with it. Of course, BushCo didn't say that was their reason, they just said it was no longer needed, or something. Just more lies. We've already been given our warning about when BushCo launches the next attack...in about 6 months, right around election time. That's when they whip up the Bird Flu Panic and urge people to stay indoors (read: don't go to public polling places). It will skew the voting results so much that all the pre-election polling will once again -- once again! -- have been "proven" unreliable, as the GOP waltzes back in to power.

9. junior took the color coded alert down because it wasn't fair to

the people who were color blind.

12. It's still up . . .

. . . yellow as *'s heart (and teeth), on the DHS site.

5. 2006 Elections coming up, what do you

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. Or worse.

7. We've now moved on to the tuna and powdered milk alert system.

3 cases = RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!!

[soothsayer]

15. What about people with platform beds? Will they die?

if they can't shove tuna (no can openers mentioned) and powdered milk (no water mentioned) under their beds?

[tanyev]

16. Screwed. Sucks for them.

:D

[skylarmae]

8. they ended after the 04 election - just like we knew they would...

they are leading up to something for the 06 ones, you just watch...IMHO, of course, but I don't trust this bunch of conivers and master manipulators.....

Why are some Americans the only ones in the world that seem to be falling for his bullshit lies any more, not even his supposid pre-war collalition.

11. Watch for a bunch of them in November...

And remember the rash of airplanes being diverted because of "suspicious" passengers on board? I bet that program will resume this fall as well. They've got to clean and restock the bullshit machine.

[ecstatic]

13. Now that everyone knows Bush has not made us safer

Color coded alerts would only cause Bush to plummet further in the polls. That's why they dropped it.

[Minnesota Libra]

14. Oh but just wait - November is coming - and of course there will.......

.....be some kind of reminder - as November approaches - that people are still supposed to be:scared:
