It's cold down here in Dallas. Very, very cold. Supposed to be in upper fifties tomorrow though.

Drudge talking mainly about the Time Mag article that gov't thought there was a credible nuclear threat against NYC.

He's throwing out the idea that the public should have been warned. Wonder what he thinks everyone would have done ... gone to their storm cellars?

I mean, my son lives on Texoma which is tornado alley and he and his wife have a storm cellar which she insisted on, and which they've never been in.

Yea, I hear you.

To talk of Cold, I repeat, "Listen to your piss Freeze before it hits the ground"

As a former Nuclear Warrior, I’m not too scared about threats of a 10KT device cracking off.
Yes, many Killed, little collateral damage—maybe we would get Serious.

That's a tough call on whether to go public with such a warning. I think a lot depends on how high their confidence is in the threat.

If they thought the threat was real, then I would come down on the side of full disclosure and let each New Yorker decide what to do. My guess is that most would have stayed and gone about their business.

I'd like to know if any government officials left NYC or stayed away from NYC as a result of this information.

I live in a "Bunker" (fondly called) on a frozen Lake.
Love Her!!

Do you remember the bomb shelters that people supposedly built in the late 1950s? Whatever happened to them - are they still out there in people's back yards? Or were they something that got a lot of press relative to the actual number of them?

Drudge was just saying that he never watches Letterman anymore. I like Letterman's show better when it's just him and Paul goofing with each other. I usually turn it off when the celebrity guests come on.
