How many of you guys think
That the terror alert will go up due to all the gay marriages is san francisco? No seriously. Me and my brother were just talking about this.

1. Maybe
But people don't really seem to pay much attention to it anymore anyway. Who knows why it goes up when it does? It's been overused and now it's like worrying about the boy who cried wolf.

3. Clarify. The terror alert is national, not regional...
Are you saying that the gay marriages themselves will cause the national terror alert to go up?

Or are you saying that this will be done as a punishment by the * administration? And if it is, how will it be known that gay marriages caused the alert to rise?

Better explain, and quickly.

4. I'm kinda thinking
Edited on Sat Feb-28-04 12:13 AM by screwfacecapone
that this might end up making him look so bad, that to distract from the issue there could be another terror alert, about dirty bombs in california, just as how the whole gay marriage thing iis distracting people from the whole wmd thing.

7. No, because the gay marriage thing IS the distraction
so people aren't so concerned with Iraq, WMD, Osama, or the economy.

But the cool thing is, I can feel the Asshole War Criminal In Chief's foothold slipping, because it's getting to the point that the distractions aren't working any more.

I think they blew their load and they know it.

I used to assume that they'd raise the terralert right before elections, crank it up to Extra Special "Gonna Happen Soon" Super Deluxe Red Alert.

But at this point, I'm thinking the tide has changed, and if they crank up the terralert, it will be mostly ignored.

10. exactly,
not that it isn't an important issue, but the reason it was raised by the right was to try and make sure that the fundies would come out and vote for chimp.

5. gay marriages are soooooooo terrifying
:eyes:

I think a "real" terror attack will happen closer to election time. And you can't change presidents then unless you are a liberal traitor who hates America.:crazy:

9. Memorial Day -- They may look bad that weekend
A disaster movie will be out that weekend, http://www.jurassicpunk.com/movies/dayaftertomorrow.shtml">The Day After Tomorrow, a fictionalized account of the possible/probable climate-change disaster that the Pentagon ordered a report on, then covered up for most of the year.

Although the movie was taken from The Coming Global Superstorm by Whitley Strieber and Art Bell, the research behind the idea is pretty solid, except for the more fanciful details, like the flash-freezing of NYC. (Strieber and Bell think the next Ice Age will come on over a period of three months -- I personally think three years is more likely.)

Such a pro-environmentalist movie could result in an attack of Terrah, or Team Bush could just sit back and let it slide. After all, there are several more holidays after that, all closer to Re-Installation Day.
