...but please go about your daily lives. It's no cause for concern.

Yes, boys and girls, Chicken Little is alive and well.

What do you do.... stay inside or something?

... or is it more of a case of "we didn't know what the hell to expect, but don't say we didn't warn ya!"

In other words, are these warnings supposed to serve an actual purpose?

Terror risk high? Yay! Now we all have something in common with the inhabitants of Baghdad!

Between a rock and a hard place. Or rather, between Saddam's rubber truncheon gang and a stray cruise missile.

I thought the idea was to continue with our lives like good little consumers, while suspecting anyone who acts suspiciously of having suspicious intents? It's a real tight rope kind of a situation. Let's hope the war is brief and bloodless, and Al Queda decides against taking advantage of the situation.

I said that the Dept of Homeland Security or whatever the shreck the call it now was another completely useless office.

And the whole color coded threat warning level system was completely useless.

They couldn't have proven me more right.

"The threat level is high- what does this mean? Go about your daily business as usual and report any suspicious activity to your local police department.

Targets include, but are not limited to, Federal buildings, White House, The Capitol, state buildings, and high rises."

Honestly- they should just rename it to "The Office of The Blatantly Obvious, unless you are a dumb ass."

What a fukin waste of tax money. I'm on permanent high alert and will be for the rest of my life, this toejamty office ain't doing nothing but wasting the American people's tax money.
