New Terrorism Alert System: Gone Is Bush Era Funny



My own terror alert for Homeland Security when new poems are published



From Denny:  What? My Democrats have gone and done something that makes sense? Whatever will we do without the crazy antics of the Republicans running the federal government?  There goes the good entertainment value for your vote.



Gone is the stupid color coded terror chart of the Bush years we all loved to lampoon regularly. Today, Homeland Security revealed the obvious: two levels of alert, "elevated threat" and "imminent threat."



Read elevated threat as "Take a look around and be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to the news while you are at it." Read imminent threat as "You are basically screwed if you didn't pay attention to the first warning and check your phone apps for updates."

BP Oil Spill Disaster: One Year Later Economy Slammed, Recovered At 30 Percent

From Denny: Thousands of marine animals have died, about 7,000. There are probably three times that but because of BP preventing any news crews out in the disaster area in the early weeks of the oil spill. It could not be properly documented.

What is most worrisome are all the millions of gallons of cancer-causing dispersant used in the Gulf against the will of the Louisiana and Gulf residents. That's what is killing the baby dolphins and other marine animals now one year later.
