That tremendous waste of resources known as the "Homeland Security Advisory System," a color-coded chart letting you know how many times you will be murdered by a terrorist today, is finally being phased out by the Obama administration. It's a sad day for fear. That chart may look like the keys on a toddler's xylophone, but it's served honorably for a decade in the federal government, even if its job, like that of many federal employees, is pretty pointless. Let's hope the terror alert chart gets a good government pension and finds a nice part-time defensive consulting gig somewhere. So the Obama administration has come to realize how pointless it was to spend everyone's time and money on this sort of thing, right? No, they're just making a new one.
It'll be like the Emergency Broadcast System we've had since the 1950s, only with less "tests" and more "omfg, your area is about to die."
Yes but for me EBS always beeps in with a lousy test during Jeopardy, when I'm finally going to find out which Babylonian ruler famously gave twenty goats to his lover's brother's cousin-twice-removed's enemy in 438 BCE. "Who is....." **BEEP** Fucking always happens man.
Too bad. That "Boehner in Charge" level was suddenly useful.

Don't throw them away. Just tell people you're dispaying the various threat levels of the war on Christmas.
This is good news for all of the color blind people in America.
