I see that prog has compared the U.S. govt to the aliens from "Mars Attacks". Oh, yes, always such a clever and subtle bon mot, very good.

Again, I have one thing to say: Show me the green lasers. Show me the red lasers.

I hope prog gains a notion of who the real enemy is before the day comes when he is commuting to work and there is a flash of light and why can he see his own ribcage all of a sudden?

Furthermore I was just admiring my collection of "Mars Attacks" trading cards and I can't believe I used to like them. What a foolish youth I was, thinking I was such a rebel. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time for Gnat's daily NBC survival suit training session.

Darnit, I was really hoping that link led to a piece written in 12-year-old AOLer. Sigh. Now _that_ would make reading the latest terror warnings worthwhile.

Ah, just hit the 'random journal' link and knock yourself out.
