I believe this subject, which I have visited ere this, bears reiteration. The world is not ending, despite the constant stream of disaster / catastrophe reporting (and even series on cable), such that even 8 inches of lake-effect snow on Rochester or Buffalo is deemed a Sign of the End Times by some.
If this continues, I expect we'll have shows airing next season entitled A Volcano in Your Back Yard, Tsunamis for Two, Lahars in Laredo, Earthquake Ecstasy.
The constant natter about catastrophe and chaos perhaps makes it seem normal to view such series as Obama and the Fearmonger Express, doing exactly the same thing he took G.W. Bush to task for even before his nomination. Only the War on Terror was / is not "real," but if we all don't get behind his legislative agenda we face then end of the world as we know it. The Sky Will Fall.
OK, Chicken Little.....
