Here's a snippet from CONELRAD's Article regarding Bert's induction... </p><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px"><p>"<em>It seems that every time the Department of Homeland Security's Threat Level changes colors, legions of not-so-clever newspaper headline writers seize the opportunity to trot out another variation of the phrase "Duck and Cover." One prominent example of this journalistic laziness followed the infamous government endorsement of duct tape and plastic sheeting as a means of preparedness for chemical and biological attack. Never mind that this advisory was quickly retracted by then Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, the headline "DUCT AND COVER" appeared for weeks afterward</em>."</p></blockquote><p>Also, if you have <a href="http://www.my.yahoo.com/">My.Yahoo</a>, then you can add a&#160;<a href="http://www.conelrad.com/alert.php">CONELRAD News&#160;Alert</a> to your news listing.
