"Remain calm. AAAAHHHH!"

Would've posted this sooner, but between Movable Type's moody behavior, and helping state colleges work on hurricane evacuation plans -- no, really! and especially now since FEMA's headed for the scrap heap -- we've been delayed.

Home, around dinner time Tuesday night; kids talking all at once, hungry, want to EAT NOW; Dana trying to satisfy them; and me, hurrying to cover up my broken rear windshield before the rain started. NBC news is on, and I overhear bits: "Zarqawi... new tape... why show his face now?"

I laughed out loud, and immediately thought of this.

Why now? Digby's answer.

Why now? Nothing to take your mind off $4.00/gallon gas like the relief that today you weren't killed in a terr'ist attack, huh?

Why now? $100?!? Woohoo, maybe I'll drive to WalMart and spend the couple dollars left over on duct tape and plastic sheeting. It'll keep my mind off Exxon's stock dropping 2%; I get so depressed worrying about those folks. But at least we can all feel safe and secure, knowing our ports and tank parts plants are all in good trustworthy hands.
