Excerpted from above. WASHINGTON - There are Amber Alerts to help find missing children and Silver Alerts to locate senior citizens who wander. Now three senators want a national Blue Alert system established to help apprehend those who kill or seriously injure law enforcement personnel. |

The more of that stuff there is, the less people will pay attention to them. Yep. I have quit paying attention to Amber alerts. I've read too many times about them kneejerking an alert only to find out it was bogus. I'm afraid the overuse of these for a parent having not returned a child on time to their divorced spouse, has really diminished the effect of what was originally a great idea. |

We've already got Red Alert for whenever a time traveler goes back in time and kills Hitler, precipitating a war between the Soviets and Allies. But what color alert do we use when another time traveler goes back in time and kills the first time traveler after he kills Hitler? |

Why do politicians feel the need to come up with new shit every day? Good, bad, indifferent, useless, costly, pointless... Doesn't seem to matter, as long as they're doing something EVERY DAY. How would you maintain brand awareness and name recognition? You can't get reelected without a lot of advertizing. |
