Be Afraid. Be Very, Very Afraid Guess what folks? The Kerry/Edwards campaign got a huge bump in the polls with the announcement of John Edwards as John Kerry's running mate. Kennyboy Lay was (finally) indicted in the whole Enron debacle. You know what that means? That's right, it's time for a new "terror alert." So the Bush administration trotted out Tom Ridge today to tell us that Al Qaeda plans a large-scale attack on the United States "in an effort to disrupt the democratic process" before November's elections. It's vewy, vewy scawey. So, we're raising the terror level to orange, right? Well, no. So there's some new information - some of that 'intelligence' we've come to know and repect, pointing to an attack, right? Well, no, none of that, either. Well, now, just how stupid are we here? Are the people really buying this shit? Isn't just too goddamn obvious what these yo-yo's are doing? I mean, c'mon here. Is this supposed to make us think that Bush and his pals are doing a terrific job? It makes me think they're clueless, at best, and maybe even preparing us for a terrorist attack that they'll either instigate themselves or allow to happen, just to get Bush re-elected. Or maybe to declare martial law and suspend elections. What, if "they" attack us, am I supposed to vote for Bush? I don't think so, George. They're getting desperate, and I hope to watch them squirm and curse their way out of office.
