as a Pakistani acquaintance once told me, “C’mon, if Osama Bin Laden really had access to a nuke, do you think he’d waste something like that on Cleveland?”

After that, a megaswarm of hyperactive zombie pirates in jetpaks will be dispatched to the greater Tidewater area to hunt down any human survivors and submit those survivors to Hypersonic Titty Twisters before using their flaming corkscrew penises to [expletive deleted] them in the [redacted by moderators].

Maybe I should re-think my strategy.

If you see a flash, and you’re flexible enough,

you just might be able to kiss your ass goodbye.

Lemmings. Lets talk about lemmings and a mass suicide of American culture. It used to be there was global stability until the advent of Islamic terrorism. Now we recognize we are under threat by Iran. We are organizing and having drills because of the threat. Today? It is a source of money, arms and expertise to these global groups. So why not just wipe the threat from the earth, the old fashioned way? America USED to police the globe against actions like this. Global threats. The threat has not materialized and will not be realized until there is a smokin hole in the ground. Or multiple smokin holes.

I guess the answer is very simple. Under the new regime “this aint America no more”

"In some cities, it would be an improvement..."

In some cities I could swear they've already been hit. LOL

BTW, about the cartoon?
Don't laugh.
I can clearly remember having do exactly that with one exception. We weren't giving a thumbs-up, we had our hands over our heads. Safety first, y'know. LOL

Northern Kentucky here. what bothers me is the terrorists being jailed in Illinois. I mean if I was part of a sleeper cell it would just be the perfect target and would make Obama look like a jackass.

I consider myself lucky living in the Tidewater VA area. I don’t think we’ll feel a thing.

Many years ago my son Nick (who we lost in Iraq) and I watched a TV show about nuclear missiles.
He looked at me calmly and asked, "When the rocket bombs come should go up on the roof with a picnic and watch and then we can go be with Jesus.".

He was about 8 at the time and he showed no fear. He was a good son and a good Marine. I am very proud of him and miss him everyday.

I think the luckiest ones will be closest to the blast if it is a massive attack.
But I am convinced strategic strikes on DC and some other sites could benefit the country. It would muck out the stables.

Disclaimer: I do not support terrorist actions or wish harm on anyone except traitors against our great nation.

If a nuclear bomb goes off in a city, there is nothing those folks can do except kiss their ass good bye. It will be just like Nagasaki or Hiroshima.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Don't worry, I'm ready for the zombies.

The bad news is that I live just a few miles off I-65, which is the main interstate between Louisville and Nashville, two of the larger zombie reservations in the region.

I have always said I wanted my ashes to be spread on on old place on next to the Swamp. If I time my visit right my ashes can be spread all over lower Hanover. I can even be fertilizer for the Hanover Tomatoes. Wait, there will be no more Hanover Tomatoes. Just damn.

and people within 100’s of feet of Ground Zero survived. Lots of people would die, but it isn’t guaranteed instant death.
