Ramblings of an old Doc

 

You can’t make this stuff up.

Just read at infopackets that J. Napolitano is strongly considering implementing the Terrorism Alert Warning system through Twitter and Facebook. Honestly….this is not a joke.

The United States government says it's considering replacing the old color-coded ratings ranging from "Low" to "Guarded" all the way up to "High" and "Severe".

From infopackets : “The report doesn't come to us from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), but instead the Associated Press, which says it recently learned DHS is considering April 27 as a start date for the new program.

The Facebook and Twitter updates would actually replace the existing color-coded system, which experts say has largely faded in popularity since it was first introduced shortly after September 11, 2001.”

I hope….seriously hope the AP got it wrong. I would be seriously concerned about fb/twitter security and the seriousness and importance of such warnings.

Besides, what’s wrong with the net/cable/T.V.?

Also, would you believe a DHS Terror Alert Warning coming through Twitter or Facebook (especially now that it’s gone open code???).

I’d believe that like I’d believe the emails from Nigeria….you know, these:

Life just keeps getting weirder…

So when Starker Tee Hees about sneaking a peak at the fairer sex, we were streaking and not breaking any rules (as long as we did not skip class). All of us wore shoes after all!

Streaking was okay was it?  So long as when the teacher was looking you were wearing shoes... one covering the front... and one covering the back, right?

Everybody's nuts.

So long as mine don't get crushed or bruised I'm happy to come to the party.
