The government is completely ridiculous!!!
It's starting a website where analysts, and expersts will be invited to make predictions of when terrorism and other things will happen. It is costing 8 million tax payer dollars, and if one of the experts get it right, he/she will win a small purse.

Some of the things they will be on is when the Monarch of Jordan will be overthrown, and if N. Korea will launch a nuclear attack.

The most pathetic thing is that only 2 Democrats spoke out against it, only 2.

1. That's pretty disgusting.........
Turning it into a big wager of a game.

Shoot.....if the price is right......one of those "experts" can just arrange a little problem -- rig the race so to speak.

And, really, wouldn't it be one's patriotic duty to let the govt know if they thought something bad was going to happen? And that a really patriotic person would do it with no eyes on some big prize?

$8 million.......hmmmmm a lot could be done with kind of money.

All I want to know is WHO came up with this bright idea? Lord, is there not ONE SANE person anywhere in the administration?

But, the sheeple will LOVE this one......it will be sooo much fun! Woo boy, a game!
