Our brother blogger Ryan Singel has raised the THREAT LEVEL to red – with the needle all the way to the right, "close to chaos." You can thank Rudy Guiliani and his scaaaaaary new campaign ad, which goes something like this:

His fingers shoot Predator drones. His ears hear all terrorist Skype calls. A blink of his eyes issues Authorizations to Use Military Force.
And he can smell a nuclear ambition on a Muslim from 3 continents away...

He was the mayor of New York during 9/11 and he's not afraid of brown people.

He's your daddy, and you should feel comforted when you reach for his lever at the polls.

Or something like that. See for yourself – just make sure you've got the rubber sheets on, if you're watching in bed...
