I almost lost control of my gas guzzling SUV tonight. A CBS commentary on our local radio show was opining on how "our generation" did the "silly and useless" duck and cover thing.

He then proceeded to ridicule the Homeland Security warning to have plastic and duct tape available "just in case". He was of the opinion that all precautions were just a useless as the duck and cover manuver and closed by commenting that we have come full circle to "duct and cover". What an a$$.

"duct and cover".

That's hilarious. Sounds like a bumper sticker to me!

The difference between then and now is that the American kids of the 50's and 60's were kept safe by the fact that if they were ever attacked at their desks, Moscow would have become radioactive slag in short order.

The Muslim world has no such fear.
