Orwellingly Yurz Sez: Gulp. We have so much to thank George War Bush
for. I was watching an HBO re-run of the Lewis Black Stand-Up Hour called, "Screwed" this evening. One of Black's darker jokes was: "I was watching President Bush giving a speech on TV last night. It was just him and me. And, after I listened for a bit, I realized that one of of us was NUTZ. Then, after awhile, I could tell it wasn't me."
OY!

quote:
The major new step reflects growing concerns about a 'Second Nuclear Age' marked by grave threats, including: nuclear ambitions in Iran and North Korea, unsecured nuclear materials in Russia and elsewhere, the continuing 'launch-ready' status of 2,000 of the 25,000 nuclear weapons held by the U.S. and Russia, escalating terrorism, and new pressure from climate change for expanded civilian nuclear power that could increase proliferation risks," the release reads.
The clock was last pushed forward by two minutes to seven minutes to midnight in 2002 amid concerns about the proliferation of nuclear, biological and other weapons and the threat of terrorism.
Yep, it's always Bush's fault.
emphasis mine
Peace

I don't know. If these "scientists" are so damned smart, why do they have to keep adjusting the setting of their ultimate clock by hand? Even the photo catches the guy in the act of fudging it. I've seen better technology.
