Helter Skelter in a Summer Swelter, Birds Flew Into a Fallout Shelter...

Eight Miles High and Falling Faaaaaaaaaaaaast...

Seriously, build that shelter. If you grew up in my old neighborhood, you might have had one (my next door neighbors had theirs filled in with concrete, but I remember my piano teacher had hers fully stocked even in 1997).

Why? Congressional Quarterly reports that (I have no idea what prompted this) in a nuclear attack, the best thing to do (when you're not vaporized) is to stay put.

Actually, the reason that they're talking about is because this is what Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) thinks is important.

In the event of the most likely type of nuclear attack, people would be better off ignoring the instinct to flee and remain inside their homes, security experts said Tuesday.

"The natural inclination is to flee and what they're going to do is they're going to get caught in gridlock," said Cham E. Dallas, director of the Institute for Health Management and Mass Destruction Defense at the University of Georgia. "They're going to get caught in gridlock because everyone else will be fleeing, and that is not viable. Most people should not flee" because they won't be affected.

Dallas made his comments following a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on confronting challenges a day after a nuclear attack.

Ashton B. Carter, co-director of the Preventive Defense Project at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, echoed the sentiment. "Certainly most of my friends and family who don't do this, they think that a nuclear weapon levels an entire city and that anybody nearby better get out of the way or they're going to get covered in radiation," Carter said after the hearing. "That's just not true."




Please note, Senator Lieberman is Chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee...does anyone think he has more important things to hold hearings on?

Just in case you didn't know...

My styling tips for plumpy women - Stick to A-line skirts or straight skirts, its length should not be less than knee length. The accessories including shoes should be in matching to the clothes worn so that it gives an overall slimmer look.

My styling tips for plumpy women - Choose jackets, tailored suits and shirtwaist dresses with straight, classic cuts. The length of top or T-shirt selected should pass your hips, that it the top should be long enough.

There are lots of different sporty sandals that you can choose to buy. One example is the Reef thong sandal. These are perfect if you are looking for something that you can easily and quickly slip on when you are on your way to the beach.

all i have to say is wow. it worked for me. maybe the people upset with this product didn't really use it properly. maybe they skipped out of a little bit of exercise. it worked for me and that's all i have to say about it. now im going to get my ACUs in a smaller size as they seem a bit large for me now.thanks for your product.

By proactol diet pills on July 28, 2010 12:02 AM

Can't live without this product. I notice a huge difference in my mindset, digestive system and energy level when I stop taking ACAI and with this product in particular, I notice the highest degree of potency and it seems to work quicker than others too. LOVE IT!
