    Crikey. The comments over there are a sewer. However, could you correct your “to gosh darned” in the first para to “too gosh darned”? Thank you.

    So tell me, Mr. Bogg, how do you really feel about ol’ Sarah?

    No one has mentioned George RR Martin, Song of Ice and Fire? Maybe it’s not really sci fi, more fantasy, but wow.

    Silverberg’s Valentine Pontifex books are loads of fun.

    Go read the comments over at Pharyngula. Pretty level headed bunch over there and basically they’re not panicking. I was advising all my west coast family to get iodine pills yesterday, but in reading about the jet stream, it’s so high up, the explosion would have to be a really big one to boost the radioactivity that far… So, scary, yes, but poo the pants, no.

    Also, too, as a bunch of people point out at Pharyngula, the number of people who die as a direct result of accidents in coal mines and from toxins related to mining coal is huge compared to nuke accidents. Not to mention what happens after the coal is burned.

    Take a deep breath (the air is NOT filled with poisonous radiation!) and try to get some perspective.

    Ditto what Tejana said. She’s from Egypt and just watched some of her countrymen blow up some other of her countrymen. Pretty sickening.

    Vanishing Point?! I saw that movie like 99 times when it came out, but I forgot what it all meant. It was very very heavy, though.
