So, there I am in my car trying to get to work, when suddenly the terror alert level goes to yellow. So I have to stop, and bang, it goes right up to red. So I'm sitting there, cooling my heels while these idiots go back and forth in front of me. Then the alert level goes back to green. Guy in front of me sees it, takes off and gets broadsided by a goof who goes through his red alert light. Big mess, and I'm REALLY late for work.

Which goes to show, when the government is involved, nothing _ever_ goes exactly as it is planned
Damn, you took my joke

Ah well:

Red:
* The terrorists are going for Chinese
* The terrorists are still getting dressed
Spiral: We don't even know what the fuck they have planned.
White: The terrorists are trying to keep the brother down.
Dark Red: The economy's going to suck, and we need a scapegoat.

Do you really want politics?

For the 100th time in my life, I'm ashamed of my own country.

So called, radicals won the parlamentary elections in last days of december. This party was second supporter to politics of Milosevich and it's really terrible how they arised from ashes.
I mean, this goverment didn't work very well, but boy, do people have short term memory.
Radicals: they're extreme nacionalists. Their main concern is social program based on keeping prices of main articles by law force. So it fact, they're nacional socialists. And we all know what that means.
Good thing is, they probably won't be able to make a govermens because, although they're now strongest in parlament, they still don't have majority, and probably no other party won't make goverment with them. Also, they're currently hiding behind the mask of democrats, they won't continue Milosevic's politic course. They're actually too scared to do that.

Which one was that?
The Last Crusade, I think?
If I'm not mistaken it's off of Raider of the Lost Ark.
Fun Movie Trivia Fact: The script for Raiders originally called for a long complicated whip vs. sword fight at that point in the movie. When it came time to actually shoot the scene, Harrison Ford was deep in the throes of... some Third World malady... and wanted only to get to a bathroom. He asked if there was any possible way to shorten the scene. Spielburg's joking reply was the only way they could cut the scene short was if Indy just shot the guy with the sword. Everyone on the set laughed, and the rest is movie history...

And it is a great scene. Ford's expression when he does it is just priceless.

Fun Movie Trivia Fact 2: Indy's name was originally supposed to be Indiana Smith.


Which would have been, without a doubt, incredibly lame.
