Introducing the Fascism Advisory System!

Through most of the Bush era, Fox News Channel was eager to remind us of the latest terror alert level issued by the government.

Even Tom Ridge later admitted that the color-coded system was used for political purposes.

Now we take exception to the America-haters in the Bush White House who exploited this system.

I've developed something called the Fascism Advisory System. It's a color-coded scale to show what the current threat of fascism in the United States is.

Right off the bat, you may notice that I've corrected the reversal of blue and green that plagued Bush's chart. (Green should be betwixt yellow and blue.)

Right now, the Fascism Advisory System is at yellow - which means elevated but not extreme. Sadly, yellow is as low as it would have ever been in my adult life. It would probably be at red for 10 of the past 15 years.

The current ranking of yellow takes into account the predicted results of tomorrow's elections - which wouldn't have much of an effect on this system anyway, since this is an off year in most of the country.
