I was flipping through some of my old Bloom County collections tonight, and thought I'd upload one of my favorite running gags: Micheal Binkley's Anxiety Closet.

why no, I don't miss the Cold War (and the slim but ever-present possibility of nuclear annihilation on any given day) at all.

You say that as if nuclear annihilation wasn't a possibility anymore.

Yeah, Russia's still got nukes. But more worrysome is that North Korea is getting itself some nukes, and if we don't watch out, so will Iran.

I'm not talking about any country. Countries ain't stupid.

I'm talking about all those tiny little terrorist cells that are out there. JACK BAUER WAS RIGHT, I TELL YOU!

Yes, but the odds of my little college town being a target are much, much lower than when Russia had a couple of kilotons to spare for every American citizen. I grew up under the shadow of a war that would kill off most animal life above rats and cockroaches in the entire northern hemisphere.
