Yes it's time for fear. If you are not afraid you should be. There's a bad moon rising. Old Man Trouble's walking the land. The Grey Squirrel of Doom is gathering its nuts.
Still there are bright spots. Salon has gone back to providing its content for free. The catch is that you have to click through some ads to get to the story. I heartily support Salon (the rest of this article not withstanding), and so I'm happy to see that. I can now link to their site as I see fit.
However, they chose to inagurate this new service yesterday with news of fear. The charmingly titled Worst Case Scenarios lay out all the terrible things that will happen in The Middle East, the Fiscal Crisis, Iraq, The Economy, The Environment and Abortion Rights. Essentially, there's a possibly that if Bush is not stopped, the Economy will crumble, State and Local agencies will turn away deserving poor, Iraq will be recipient of a nucular bomb, the Middle East will become even angrier at the US and will send more terrorists, the entire planet will become uninhabitable and woman will not be able to have abortions.
Oh no! Why this Bush fellow must be stopped before he destroys us all. Let's Get Him! Unless, you know, Salon writers have some sort of political motive for painting such a dark picture.
