if you close your eyes they can't see you.

"His 12 'commitments' include promises to end illegal immigration, decrease abortions, cut taxes, prepare for terrorist attacks and increase access to health care... [to] 'keep America on offense' in the war on terror and separately vows to 'ensure that every community in America is prepared' for the possibility of an attack or a natural disaster... He also promises access to a quality education, a legal system with 'strict constructionist' judges, fiscal discipline and careful spending."
-washingtonpost.com article about Giuliani's campaign promises.

No more illegal immigration. You know what that means: open borders! Possibly the end of the nation-state! That's what I call progressive. It would make the anarchists very happy. And every community will be safe from crazy fuckers and acts of God. Will that be like how we were prepared for nuclear Armageddon by being told to duck and cover? Or a bio-chemical attack with duct tape and plastic sheeting? Or maybe we can be prepared by preemption and carpet bomb more poor countries...

He doesn't mean prepared for disasters as in "having the skills and resources to survive." More like "knowing the end is coming." He's just going to run ads on TV on the time that say, "A NATURAL DISASTER OR TERRORIST ACT IS GOING TO KILL YOU. ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON!" I, for one, can think of no nobler man to vote for.

I'm actually building my house out of school desktops. I plan on being unstoppable.
I hear Bloomberg is thinking of taking a stab at running on his own ticket. If Clinton and Rudy get their respective noms it's a New York three-way
