The US Government has a new web site......
The US government has a new website

The US government has a new website, http://www.ready.gov/. It's another attempt at scare mongering in the style of the old "duck and cover" advice after WWII.

The fun thing is that these pictures are so ambiguous they could mean anything! Here are a few interpretations.

1. There is an obvious an agenda here
I like how the female in this photo complies with her primal urge to coddle the male for security and protection. No way could a woman ever be President, right?

5. Great observation
It's always amazed me how people think a penis can protect you.

7. What's even more disturbing....
Doesn't the guy in the center look like Jeb Bush? I can't believe it. They're trying to push the idea that JB is will be our protector in a time of crisis. Makes me sick.

4. Down at the Home Depot.
Which, by the way, has absolutely no association
with Tom Ridge. He doesn't work there. Never heard
of him.
