What's Shiny Today: Code Orange Alert Edition
- Not completely familiar with all the players in our upcoming war?
Need someone to help you understand possible battle scenarios? Check
out Idleworm's helpfully
illustrated
guide.
- How can you prepare for a terrorist attack? Follow these
suggestions
from the Homeland Security Office. (If they sound
ineffective,
well, don't worry your pretty little head about it, citizen.) Read up on al-Qaeda
and other terrorism-related
topics. And, of course, shop.
- 1963: civil defense. 2003:
homeland security.
- ClearChannel recently sent out this memo
congratulating its affiliates on their coverage of the space shuttle crash: "We compiled a list of
guest experts, sound bites, production elements, music beds, tribute songs and the material were
used around the country." As they prepare for coverage
of the apparently-inevitable war in Iraq, it begs the question: Do they have a playlist of
tribute songs ready for that one too?
