A) NYC, Northern NJ, and Washington DC are on high alert based on 4-year-old intell (oh wait, one of the terrorists opened a file in January, thereby changing it's "modified" date). Okay, that sounds prudent.

B) Now, within the last several days, North Korea deployed nukes on refurbished shit-can Russian submarines that could hit the US mainland even as I write. Any high alerts in Washington (the real one), Oregon or Kollyfornya? Nope, didn't think so. Any plans to invade to stop the "imminent treat". No? Any talk of the "mushroom cloud over our heads." No, really, no?

Now, I'm dense. Explain to me how A is neither about oil nor elections.
