Code Ready. Or Not

The State is telling us, again, to prepare for DISASTER. It's called the Code Ready program. Don’t worry, don’t panic, but just in case something happens, be prepared to sit in the basement eating cold beans while civilized society comes to a shuddering, agonizing end. Have a wind-up radio so you can get instructions and drown out the screams. You’re supposed to have duct tape and plastic sheets, which makes it sound like you’re going to spend the crisis as a serial killer trying to get rid of the bodies. I don’t think we’ll see people looting Plastic Sheets ‘n’ Things if the bird flu strikes. The grocery store? Maybe.

I heard about this this morning. I checked out the website, thinking that it might be humor. Nope. I noticed the one thing that they omitted from their lists of things to have was a gun. You collect all of these “necessities” and you have nothing with which to protect them.

Smart......

If this were to happen I would guess that two more things would happen.....1st, Internment camps for all muslims, 2nd, mass killings of muslims. The American people would go balistic if this should happen.

It’s Lileks. Of course it’s humor.
