They must think the Republicans are going to win in 2008. The last apocolyptic fad Hollywood went through was during the Reagan years.
I hope Hollywood dumps billions into these show and let the flooping begin. You can only predict disaster so long before people get tired of it. I think that's why much of what comes from the left falls on deaf ears.
Just recall the 2004 election. If Bush won a second term there was supposed to be massive increases of rape, abortionists were going to be executed on sight, massive unemployment, Iran invaded, a draft, and a host of other whack-a-doo predictions that never came close to being true. People just stopped paying attention to the left.
Time for a redo of "Red Dawn".
