“’Terror Alert’ Alert”

Starting Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security will start dismantling the color-coded terror-alert system, which has remained at “yellow” for “elevated” since 2006. Many right-wingers are against the change, since yellow has long been the color most associated with fear.

The red-to-blue color scale is now going to be adopted by the gay community as their “rainbow to track homophobia.”

Fox News is hoping the new system will be something simple, such as, “On a scale of 1 to 10, how scared should you constantly be?”
