Buttress Your Fortress!

I'm going blog-wild here!
 
So.  Scientists at Los Alamos stopped researching how to destroy what's left of the planet until they can find out what happened to the classified information that went missing last week.

With classified nuclear information in the wrong hands, disaster could be just around the corner.  In the right hands, disaster could take a few more years.  Or vice versa.  I'm losing perspective and I'm not sure it matters.  Is your duct tape still in the safe room?  Did you buy enough last year?  Did you notice that duct tape is a petroleum product too?
 
Is it my imagination, or are there more flags flying over McDonalds Fast Food Fortresses these days?  Is the McD Corp buttressing defenses against critical onslaught?  By the way, while I'm thrilled that the current crop of so-called documentaries (Supersize Me, Fahrenheit 9/11) are raising the awareness of the Pennsyltuckians with whom we share the country, these films aren't really docs, as you know.  Even the pop docs that came just before (Capturing the Friedmans, Spellbound) are manipulative movie entertainments, just with more arguable and useful messages than, say, documentaries from the future, such as I, Robot.
