`We can be afraid, or we can be ready.'' ---Tom "Caesar" Ridge, Fatherland Security Buffoon
--- Reminiscent of the duck-and-cover campaigns of the Cold War, the Homeland Security effort will include television announcements and fliers that will be distributed with phone directories. The television spots will feature Ridge, along with a New York City firefighter and other public safety workers. The Ad Council - the nonprofit group that came up with Smokey Bear's ``Only you can prevent forest fires'' and McGruff the crime dog's ``Take a bite out of crime'' - helped put together the campaign. The ads don't seem to have a single catch phrase, although most of them include the words, ``Be ready.'' http://channels.netscape.com/ns/news/story.jsp?floc=FF-APO-1152&idq=/ff/stor y/0001%2F20030219%2F181687529.htm&sc=1152 --- DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) - School officials ordered a 16-year-old student to either take off a T-shirt emblazoned with the words ``International Terrorist'' and a picture of President Bush or go home, saying they worried it would inflame passions at the school where a majority of students are Arab-American. The student, Bretton Barber, chose to go home. He said he wore the shirt Monday to express his anti-war position and for a class assignment in which he wrote a compare-contrast essay on Bush and Iraq President Saddam Hussein. Schools spokesman Dave Mustonen said students have the right to freedom of expression, but educators are sensitive to tensions caused by the conflict with Iraq. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uslatest/story/0,1282,-2416851,00.html --- Shut up, United States Air Force BombCunt, before they rape you: http://morningsun.net/stories/02182003/usw_20030218007.shtml "For example, if I walk down a dark alley with hundred-dollar bills hanging out of my pockets, it doesn't justify my being attacked or robbed, but I certainly increased the risk by doing what I did." --United States Air Force http://morningsun.net/stories/02182003/usw_20030218007.shtml
