Doomsday Clock Advances (?)

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Board of Directors has announced that is moving the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock two minutes closer to midnight. It is now 5 minutes to midnight (aka "the end of civilization").

The reasons ? Global failures to solve the problems posed by nuclear weapons and the climate crisis.Sponsors of the BAS include Stephen Hawking and other Nobel Prize-winning scientists. Read all about it in the on-line Bulletin: http://www.thebulletin.org/weekly-highlight/20070117.html

Would someone please read (and explain) the announcement to the White House ?

Oh Ice Opera! You are so funny!
'W' is going to think the congress is adding another day of the week!
if anyone brings up the Doomsday article. He just may think someone is delaring an article of war!
There are just so many initiatives the "big" house can handle. For one thing, the word initiative would be considered a four letter word for little "W". What would happen if he saw the word 'Syllable'? Oh my, Pandemonium would ensue!
