Remember that big Emergency alert system demonstration? Today at 2:00 p.m. EST. Or, you know … whenever. Maybe.
BWG. It’s nice to know that “they” aren’t quite up to taking over the world yet.

“the higher degree of centralization the more fragile the system becomes. Watch and see if they don’t make a total mess of this.”
“UPDATE 6 2:49pm: National Journal’s Marc Ambinder tweets: FEMA official concedes “glitch”; says that it appears (maybe) to be related to how satellite and cable providers prepped their equipment.”
That’s FEMA for you. It doesn’t work, and they find somebody else to blame.
Yep. Too bad we weren’t handing out prizes for the most astute supposition about the outcome, ENthePeasant. A very close namesake of yours would have won.

Count on it. And I want to thank Mr. Peasant for bringing up my brilliance. I’d forgot I posted that… 😉 Actually, once you start seeing the government accurately, and not as you wish they were (like most Americans do), there’s no brilliance involved, Just observation.
I saw some people on facebook saying their TVs automatically switched to a station showing “Walker, Texas Ranger”. As big a statist as that fictional character (and the actor who portrays him) is, it was probably intentional.
Kent, that’s hysterical! I never saw the show, but it’s got to be more entertaining and better produced than anything FEMA has to say. 🙂
The test failed this time so you didnt get FEMA’s subliminal messaging like: See something, say something. Vote for Obama. Guns are evil – turn them in to police, etc. Not to worry, there is plenty of time for more “tests” before the 2012 election.
