I am just joking but it should be.

1. You know what has me worried?

What if all these high-level officials are resigning because they know Bush is going to "push the button" any moment now, and they're running out of time to spend with their families before everything ends?

2. Thanks for the anxiety attack.

I still have nightmares of Bill Hicks rolling his eyes back,with his finger above an imaginary button, saying "Tell me when, Lord! Let me be your instrument!"

Frankly, I don't think he'll do it. Otherwise, why did he buy all that land in Paraquay?

3. Did you ever read that Tom Clancy novel, "Rainbow Six?"

First of all, don't buy anything from Tom Clancy. He's an Alan Keyes Repuke.

But if you can find a used copy, or a library copy or something:

Rainbow Six (novel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
<snip>

Having failed to destroy civilization with their plague, the eco-terrorists retreat to their refuge in the Brazilian rainforest, which they planned to do anyway, hoping to negotiate a deal to return to the U.S. in a few years. Rainbow, under John Clark's leadership, deploys to the rainforest, first killing the terrorists' numerically superior but much less competent militia force, then stripping them naked and blowing up the facility, leaving them without any of humanity's inventions to help them attempt to survive in the jungle of the rainforest; however, their prognosis is bleak, as Chavez wryly points out that even with all his equipment and training (U.S. Army Rangers school among others), he himself would have a tough time surviving in such an environment.

In other words, Bush may be building himself a little jungle retreat to ride-out The Apocalypse.

4. "Tyler crawls under his desk to suck his thumb and whimper."

You really know how to hurt a guy.

I had nightmares as a kid for YEARS after reading "Level 7" and "On the Beach."

"Alas, Babylon" wasn't so bad.

5. I think "The Day After" is available on Comcast OnDemand this month

The Day After
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Day After is an American TV-movie which aired on November 20, 1983 on the ABC network. The film portrays a fictional nuclear war between the United States/NATO and the Soviet Union/Warsaw Pact, as seen through the eyes of the residents of Lawrence, Kansas, Kansas City, Missouri, and several family farms situated next to American nuclear-missile silos. The film was written by Edward Hume and directed by Nicholas Meyer.

To this day, some military theorists hold that the events portrayed leading up to this fictional World War III were a very real possibility during the Cold War.

That movie gave me real nightmares.

It also inspired me to buy, read, and study in detail THIS book:

7. What are you? Some kind of SADIST???

Are you secretly my BOSS trying to get me back to work?

Seen it, took acid after to try and erase the experience. Marginally successful.

6. when the risk might actually be higher...

..for the uncertainty. He was an asshole, but a consistent asshole,
as predictable as a bull in the ring, not exactly the diplomatic threat
of the century.

Hats off to you rummy and bolton, you did not fire a nuclear weapon on
your watch... that's about all we can hope for wankers in those positions,
they can murder 100,000 people, but at least they laid off the nukes... what good men.
