Odds of being on an airplane attacked by a terrorist over the past decade, according to Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight.com: 1 in 10,408,947.
Odds of being hit by lightning in any single year: appx. 1 in 500,000.
Odds the U.S. will wage a War on Lightning: 0 in a Gazillion.
Odds we’ll talk about all of the above tonight when I guest host The Mike Malloy Show: appx. 1 in 3 (if that high).
UPDATE: And furthermore, why no ‘War on Salmonella’?

Well, if nobody is going to declare war on lightning, then I will. Or, at least I will attempt to make a citizens arrest. Have the burn unit at the ready please.

But is the “war on terror” really against fanatical extremists dedicated to the eradication of civilization? I know its not… (Psst: The War on Terror is smoke and mirrors, driven by multinational corporations seeking an empire of oil and slave labor!)
