The lies and scare tactics just keep getting bigger and bigger.

There aren't many left in the inventory, Mr. Bush.

Hurry! There are only four months left to go!

* They attacked on our sovereign soil! (Yep, all 19 of them. Sound like Tonkin Gulf, anyone?)

* They have weapons of mass destruction! (Just where, I don't know yet. But I'll find 'em!)

* We must be allowed to spy on our citizens to protect our country!

*I must be allowed to send our troops to war to protect our nation!

* That's too many troops, General Shinseki. (By the way, you're fired!)

* We'll incarcerate those terrorist cab drivers indefinitely, off our soil, at Gitmo!

* "What do you mean by 'Waterboarding', Senator?"

* "Islamofascism" is the enemy!

* They're in the "final throws" of the insurgency!

* If you are against the war, you are not a patriot!

* "Mission accomplished!" (Ahem. Well, sort of ...)

* We must allocate billions in annual, off-budget supplementals to support our troops!

* "Deficits don't matter."

* "You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie!"

* We may be attacked with bioterrorism! (Anthrax and smallpox are at our doorstep!)

* Iran is developing 'nukeer' weapons. We may need to act soon!

* We may see the re-emergence of the Cold War!

* If a Democrat is elected, we may see new terrorist attacks and destruction.

* Our economy might collapse! There's risk of a global financial meltdown!
Who, me? A skeptic?

What's next, Mr. Bush? . . . Scare us into believing World War III is imminent?

I'm buying Stick-and-Stone financial futures contracts. Einstein was right.
