5. You know what Colbert said. There are more nerve endings in the gut than in the brain.
He also said it wasn't true, but since when has that ever stopped a Republican?

6. And a lot of people on DU, too - "It'll happen this week," etc.
It's not just the Thugs-in-chief who enjoy scaring people, it seems.

8. It makes me wonder if some folks, on a subconscious level,
almost want something to happen, as if to feel some sort of vindication. I've seen just as much fearmongering here as I've seen anywhere. Not a majority of people, mind you, but I have seen it.

7. "gut feeling"="boy do our numbers suck."
One scandal after another, approval for Iraq at an all-time low, GOPers jumping ship on the war, it all adds up to scare tactics and empty speculation.
