My god man I completely forgot about those stupid fucking terror alerts. “Today’s terror alert level is Orange, just like it was yesterday and just it’ll be tomorrow. Slightly elevated. Be afraid, but don’t be too afraid to go to work, and make sure to vote for Bush again to protect you.”

Remember leading up to the Iraq invasion, people were walking around unironically saying “I’d rather fight them over there than over here” as if Iraq could actually project power to the other side of the planet.

Fuck I hate this so much.
