If you haven't been watching or reading the news lately, tom ridge came up wtih an excellent idea to make us a color-coded terror alert system. Wow. I guess that's what they're paying him all the money for.

Today's a yellow day..meaning the middle, so why couldn't they make a scale of 1-10 for example, 10 being the most threat. Colors don't make sense in my opinion..I don't know, you had to see the actual scale to get what I mean, if you haven't, then forget it :)..

I don't know if anybody watched CrossFire on CNN yesterday night, but it was pretty funny - they were talking about his new system.

None of it makes any damn sense to me. I don't need a color to tell me that 1/3rd of the world hates my american hiney and won't be happy until i'm dead.

Haven't been following this but it sounds like a pretty poor solution. Fine, it makes sense and is pretty easy to understand, but really... it sounds like about 5 minutes work on a cocktail napkin.
