Bob Pittenger's Terrorist Preparedness Manual

[Biff Tannen]

So, my congressman, and Quail Hollow resident, Robert Pittenger, has prepared a manual called "Preparing Your Home, Family, and Business for Terrorist Attacks; Some Common Sense Suggestions on Getting Ready"

IOt offers helpful pointers such as noting that sarin gas sinks to the ground and cyanide rises into the air. It tells you to avoid Ebola. It tells you how to identify the safest areas of a building during a nuclear blast.

Amazingly, there's no mention of a half dozen members of a sleeper cell walking into Walmart, buying a bunch of semi-automatic weapons and hundreds of pounds of ammo, and opening fire at the state fair. Wouldn't want to be an alarmist, I suppose.

I thought I'd be happier when Sue Myrick retired.

LOL at "safest area of a building during a nuclear blast." I'm reminded of the drills we used to do as kids where we would get under our desks. Like that was going to stop the nuke from incinerating me.

If those Ebola motherfuckers come to my house Im shooting first and asking questions later.

36. Grew up in Alaska and we did readiness drills in elementary school in the 80s.

I'm the same age and we did them in Dallas when I grew up.

Wow, I didn't realize they were still being done by the time you guys were in school. I'm 58 and was in elementary school twenty miles from NYC during the Cuban Missile Crises. We had air raid drills all the time. But after third or fourth grade I don't ever remember having them again.

They did a pretty extensive study on the effects of a suitcase bomb detonated at the White House. Both my home and office were in the "not immediate death, but probably severely burned and definitely going to die of cancer if you survive" zone.

Not exactly comforting.

A lot of pricks would go down before you would though.
