As we've become used to all this, we've managed to find a bit of humor amid the grim news. In what might be called a case of familiarity breeding contempt, the government's terror alert system was parodied this summer in The New Yorker by humorist Andy Borowitz, who wrote:
"Homeland security secretary Tom Ridge announced today that the Homeland security Department would soon replace the muchmaligned terror alert color code with an official cry of 'wolf.' Mr. Ridge demonstrated five different cries of 'wolf to correspond to the various threat levels, from a barely audible whisper of 'wolf meaning 'low' to a full-throated scream of 'wolf indicating 'severe.' These new wolf cries will go into effect tomorrow, assuming there is a tomorrow, Mr. Ridge said."
