# 10- We the people no longer have the dreadful sensation that we’re drowning.

# 9- The parallels with Nixon’s administration and the Vietnam war no longer apply.

# 8- Knee-jerk terror alerts become passé.

# 7- The sequel to the movie “Rendition” is canceled due to its implausibility.

# 6- Seeing the vice president on the news doesn’t scare the kids.

# 5- “Gitmo” becomes, “No Larry, No Curly, and No Moe”!

# 4- It’s two-thousand and nine!

# 3- The president is seen reading a book and it isn’t a photo-op.

# 2- The president pronounces it like its spelled- “nuclear”.

And the # 1 sign that we finally have an Anti-Torture President;

“Withdrawal” and “pull out” are no longer considered dirty words.

Hillary Clinton told the NY Daily News on Oct. 12k, 2006 that she approved torture in limited circumstances. Charles Schumer has proclaimed a similar position. Seems like NY politicians believe they have to support torture.<br /><br />Has she changed her position again? >Sen.

It wasn't funny. Reading the list did have its moments - enough to send it to a handful of friends... I hope they don't see the video >I see the point with Jack Bauer but as many already mentioned, it just didn't work out. It wasn't funny.
