On a lighter note this would guarantee one term for Obama.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Send up 0bama up there. Now. Today.

Coming soon to a SciFi channel near you?

If your television still works.

I have a shield that protects your abode that I designed and all you have to do is plug it into an outlet and it is guaranteed to protect all your electronics. I'm willing to GIVE it away (plus shipping and handling) to anyone concerned.

All out of the goodness of my heart. : - D

If you contact me before midnight, I'll toss in a Dr. Ken's "Tungsten Cowhide Turbo Encabulator" for a greener lawn and better running engine in your vehicle all for FREE!

You only pay shipping and handling costs...

Bush's Fault!

[MediaMole]

Dead going unburied, hundreds of thousands dead...

Two words.

First word: Horse

Second word: S-—

That’s not even counting the idiocy of saying this will happen in two years.

[EGPWS]

Bush's Fault!

Of course it is!

Hell, San Andreas is going to be Bush's fault before it's all over said and done.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

AAIIIEEEHH WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Y'all got any popcorn?

Especially since the sun is sleeping right now! We are in the quietest period of solar activity in over 100 years, and rapidly approaching the territory of the Dalton and Mauder minimums, whcih, btw were characterized by the ‘Little Ice Age’ The sun is currently in the process of blowing the AGW theory out of the water.

Temps are decreasing and the sun is sleeping? CO2 is going up. What do you think is more important, a little CO2 or the sun in determining global temps?

(seriously a huge supply- surround any electrical appliance you want to save and the electrically induced currents would stay OUTSIDE the surface of the shield. - look up ‘Faraday Cage’)

Your gunsafe is a nice faraday cage as well. Stick a laptop, solar charger, and a portable 1TB hard drive with all the electronic information you'd care to keep safe.

[ArrogantBustard]

Shut off water, electric power, and sewer to (New York City|Washington|Baltimore|Chicago|Los Angeles|Tokyo|Singapore|London|Paris|YouPickACity) for more than a day or two, and watch the fun begin ... Now: consider it happening to all of them at the same time.

Horse Crap? The claim that a solar storm could cause that kind of shutdown may be horse crap, but the consequences if it happened would be catastrophic.

[EGPWS]

This catastrophe is not some academic one-in-a-million chance scenario.

[It’s here, it’s name is Barack Hussein Obama.]

Put the two together and I agree.

[Stentor]

How you gonna gear up to manufacture all those flux capacitors.

[EGPWS]

Y'all got any popcorn?

I'm hoarding my popcorn for me and close family and you can't have any! ; )

[John W]

No, thats a sh!t storm.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I’ll trade you some pizza!

[ontap]

What do you bet when we go into the next ice age they blame global warming.

[EGPWS]

How you gonna gear up to manufacture all those flux capacitors.

Flux Capacitors?

For crying out loud, that is old technology. That was "order before midnight" material yesterday. ~ snort

[kittymyrib]

Country folk still teach their youngsters how to hunt and field dress their kill, so they’ll be in better shape than those who have been reared to expect their food to appear on supermarket shelves.

[EGPWS]

I’ll trade you some pizza!

Mmmm....

Now I'm confused, I need to think on that one.....
