So ... they watched “The Day After” or “Jericho” to come to that conclusion? How much grant money got burned up in that quest for the bleedin’ obvious?

Rigorous, four-year “journalism” degree pays off once again. Mom & Dad would be proud.

\ I don't know. But I could have given them the same conclusion for only half the price and in a fraction of the time it took for them to study the issue.

I also hear that the hospitals might be vaporized, incinerated, burnt, scorched, seared, leveled, blasted, blown to pieces, and poisoned by radiation by a nuclear bomb, but I’m going out on a limb on those and will have to await university study confirmation.

USA Today is not allowed to be posted here. And we are prohibited from posting the link in the stardard spot.

Thus I added it in my original comment box (which, for some reason, does not automatically hyperlink).

The headline was enough, so I didn’t read it - reading it would be an admission that a nuclear attack would be worse than an asteroid blast. And I’m standing on my profound belief that an asteroid blast would be far worst.

I will bid on that study for you. Will you give me $20 million? Plus, I could get it finished by week's end for an extra $5 mill.

university president: sure, and there's another $10M in it for you if you do a side study on how nuking hospitals causes, err, relates to Global Warming...

Going to a college and getting a journalism degree and be so proud of it is like someone going to a Gorgio Armani store and all what he buys is a pair of socks and get so proud of it, where it makes no difference if someone buys the pair of socks from Walmart, it is a damn pair of socks at the end.

It is not only journalism but 90% of arts major, they are simply meaningless, waste of money, and make people arrogant and delude themselves that they are so smart.
