and the "color-coded terra chart"? :rofl: Remember that man who wrapped his whole house in saron wrap? Where was that at again?

How could so many Americans be so dumb? My rwing sister stocked up on duct tape:eyes:...that's almost embarrassing to admit.

So now--FINALLY--Tom Ridge admits terra alerts were used for political "posturing":eyes:

6. yes, I remember. I won't set foot in home depot. as I recall, they were also behind
tort reform, in an effort to make certain nobody could sue them.

a friend of mine is paralyzed, thanks to them. a huge box fell on her head from one of those high shelves--and hd refused to pay any of her expenses.

3. The fella that wrapped his house in saran wrap was in New Hampshire i believe.

Do you have a link to the Tom Ridge quote, and thanks in advance.

11. I think originally they were going to tell people to by Depends...
in case people pooped their pants out of fear, but even they thought it to far.

However, depends was ready for it...

"Depends, when your government fails you, we won't".
