Does anyone else here recall the made-for-TV movie

[PCIntern]

the name of which escapes me but could have been "Special Bulletin" or "Special Report" about the domestic terrorist group which takes a nuclear warhead and holds the government hostage in one of the naval shipyards? It winds up going off because the terrorists, trying brinksmanship, screw up, and the whole metro area of the city is destroyed. (Interesting production - it was given the look of realtime TV as it occurred, and required disclaimers almost continually so it wasn't another War of the Worlds fiasco.)

This, in its own way, is what:

A. BP did to the environment...basically exploiting the situation until the technology failed utterly and totally, and now, no one can stop the destruction, which is going to approach that of Biblical Proportions.

B. The Republican Party is doing to themselves - they allowed the "Tea Party", which is a fully subsidized division, to run amok and now may well fall victim to their particular brand of political and social insanity.
