NBC's TERRORTERRORTERROR programming...
last night I saw promos for two upcoming NBC shows (both showing back-to-back on Friday night)

Third Watch is doing a show about a DIRTY BOMB!!!!

Medical Investigation is doing a show about SMALLPOX!!!

(FX recently did a SMALLPOX!!!!! episode but it was pretty lame)

does NBC/GE have a government contract to keep TERRORTERRORTERROR out there?

(don't watch 24 but read/hear that there's a lot of terrormongering there too)

if it wasn't for Law & Order reruns.....

1. Keep the fear dialed up.

That's the aim of terrorism and I have no doubt they achieved it.

If we had a truly courageous President we would live in a culture of courage and Osama Bin Laden would be dead or behind bars. I have no doubt of that either.

2. Don't you find "law and order"..
just a tad on the fascist side? I read something about dick wolf(the creator)was a conservative..they call it conservative..I call it fascism.

I like CSI..they all hate bush(read it in an interview in Entertainment Weekly).

3. How about FX's "War of the Worlds"-style cinema verité on a
biological attack?

I was turning the channels and happened upon that -- I thought it was real for about 2 minutes.

9. Exactly. Paraphrasing F9/11: when people are afraid, you can
convince them to do anything. Including, buy shit they don't need.

10. Every time something bad happens,
the msm just HAS to tie it to terrorism. Like the terrible train wreck in SC last week, we listened to the report and then we heard about how the terrorists could use the rail system to kill Americans.
OMIGOD!!! What if the terrorists figure out we have TRAINS that transport DANGEROUS chemicals ALL OVER the country.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO????????????
