And whatever you do DON't buy Perrier and Evian water for stockpiling! Or, at least that is what Congress is trying to prevent us from doing, NOW! True story! The majority leader rumbled about it and some are actually calling for sanctions against France and Germany for daring to oppose us. They want to make it much harder for them to export to us and they want all of us to BAN drinking those waters! Bunch of wankers! This while we contemplate war!

Anyone think it is curious, too, that the GOP majority, known for its support of gun ownership, are not saying a word about stocking up on ammo, generators, etc.? Just get some plastic, tape and 3 days' of food??!! As if that would do any good.

I feel so angry at the shrub for the fearmongering. I've had two really long phone disucussions with my daughter in Connecticut this week. She doesn't watch the news, but she's heard enough from alarmist friends that she is terrified; afraid to be apart from her sons, etc. She is better, now, but damn him for doing this to our country and our children.
