Here’s the latest episode of the never-ending reality series, Why Nobody Trusts the Government: Everybody on the West Coast is freaking out because the radioactive plume is reaching North America today, from the melting nuclear plants in Japan, and everybody would probably really like some comforting, hourly updates along the lines of “Yep, we’re talking about minuscule, barely detectable levels of radiation that isn’t going to hurt anyone.” Especially after the Obama Administration’s surgeon general said it was a good idea to have Potassium Iodide tablets on hand, and especially with all the “Chernobyl gave thyroid cancer to at least 6,000 kids” historical reports floating around the Internet. Anyway, the radiation detection machinery picked up traces of the Japanese nuke cloud in Sacramento.
Again, here’s the source: A diplomat in Vienna speaking anonymously to an Associated Press reporter, in Austria:
VIENNA (AP) — Radioactive fallout from Japan’s crippled nuclear plant has reached Southern California but the first readings are far below levels that could pose a health hazard, a diplomat said Friday.
The diplomat, who has access to radiation tracking by the U.N.’s Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, cited readings from a California-based measuring station of the group.
Initial readings are “about a billion times beneath levels that would be health threatening,” the diplomat told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because the CTBTO does not make its findings public.
Hooray for transparency! [ABC News]

Karen Silkwood? Is that you?
Vienna sausage.
Unnamed government official to the rescue again! Bless his soul!
Unnamed Government Official/Palin 2012!
Clever. Pairing the Unnamed with the Unnameable
no.
I have complete trust in an anonymous diplomat in Vienna reporting on radiation levels in Southern California.
The reactor has melted down and so must I
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye!
The new season of Deadliest Catch should be pretty good.
Ooh, three eyed fish sushi! Yum!

Not to mention Shark Week.
Nuclear mutated Alaskan King Crabs vs. The Humans!
Diplomat is Austrian
Arnold Schwarzenegger is Austrian
Arnold Schwarzenegger is Republican
Republicans are liars
Thus, this diplomat is a liar.
"HONEY, WHERE ARE THE POTASSIUM PILLS?"
Eat a banana. Since its potassium iodide you need, salt it first. No Kohsher Salt as it does not containe iodide.
The radiation has made my body visible without the use of scanners. My der wiener schnitzel is embarrassed and glowing.
"… because the CTBTO does not make its findings public."
Ah yes, because the office didn't want to spoil this big surprise party its was planning when it finally succeeded in justifying its existence. Guess they'll have to cancel ordering the cake now.
That cake–it's yellow, no?
Uzbekistan has the best potassium.
A diplomat in Austria? Speaking off the record? About radiation in Japan and California? What the fuck? Really. The Fuck.
You know who else was from Austria?
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?
Kurt Waldheim?
Paul Hogan?
Slow Friday afternoon + the headquarters of the IAEA in Vienna.
I thought the West Coast air tasted a little different this morning. The extra ions make it springtime fresh!
The radiation kills all the germs and pollen.
I see what you do there, Ken.

Tell me again why Don Johnson didn't want to stay underground and just get fucked to death in that movie?
As I recall he wasn't going to get fucked, he was going to get milked, by a machine. Not nearly as satisfying.
There's an app for that.
Why have I never seen this?….And, oh snap, it looks like netflix has it for streaming, too!
Best ending ever! If you saw that coming for more than 5 minutes, you're sick. (Ever so carefully placing myself inside the circle.)
Or had read the Ellison short story.
i saw it coming for more than 5 minutes and every time i watch it now i giggle to myself leading to the end. sick…yeah.
In 70's movies evil always wins in the end. i think it probably started with Rosemary's Baby (in '68 nonetheless). it wasn't until Ronny was in the WH when the foggy dock, happy ending re-appeared.
On a scale of 1 to Fucked Up, that was Fucked Up.
Now you have to watch his ex-wife's early foray, "Cherry 2000"
I used to have the cassette of Harlen Ellison reading this (and Repent Harlequin, said the Tick Tock Man). I wore them out.
Pardon me? I live on the West Coast and I couldn't possibly give less of a fuck about that.
Now, the toxic green vomit on my driveway left by some dumbass amateur St. Patrick's Day asshole? That's a different story.
Really. I'm leaving rainy Norcal for Glenn Beckistan tomorrow (yes, Mom lives in "The Villages"), and I'm MUCH more worried about Baggers crashing into me in pimped out golf carts than radiation issues!
Now, I'm not saying this is the end of the world, but isn't it interesting we'll all be dead this time next week?
Gle2n Beck will be happy then.
No shit, I just decided to take a walk around my beloved city of Birmingham and came face to face with a caravan of religious shuttle-buses with the phrase "Have you heard the good news? The world is coming to an end!" plastered all over each one. These people are far too excited.
A really good samaritan would cut their brake lines and help them achieve their personal end-of-world goal.
I really wish I had gotten a picture of these monstrous things. The background image was a bunch of smiling children.
The scary thing about these End-Of-Worlders, is that they want to take innocent victims along with them when they decide to Rapture themselves.
I'll say it again: Rapture the rape-turds.
How does this effect LA's smog?
Should make it less toxic.
"they say the smog is the reason we have such beautiful sunsets."
"How many Californians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None, stick it in the air and it lights up by itself."
A billion times less? Wouldn't a billion times more than typical background radiation basically be cooking your brain in its skull?
I'm guessing this Austrian twat is a bit carefree with his zeros.
From the "Austrian School of Economics," I bet.
I was supposed to be "kabillion."
Anonymously leaking CTBTO data is not very diplomatic.
And it's pouring rain right now here in California. I think I'll just go stand outside, looking skyward, mouth open to catch the rainwater. Soon I'll glow in the dark, like some kind of gay superhero.
Or drown, like a turkey…
Is there another kind of superhero? I mean even Wolverine with the sideburns and all…methinks he doth protest too much.
I smell a new japanese radiation-bukkake porn in the making!
Oh, hey Sheriff!
I left a similar comment a few minutes after you — I somehow hadn't seen you there, what with your cape around your ankles and your head up instead of down and whatnot.
Anywhoo…YOU GLOW, SUPERGIRL!
We both looked out of our windows, saw the rain, and had the same thought: "How could this place get any freakier?"
They say 'great minds think alike', but I wouldn't dare presume.
Fuck Jim Croce — I'd tug on your cape any day, SuperRoscoe!
(NO HOMO ARIGATO!)
Not just "some kind" of gay superhero…OUR gay superhero.
You know what other Austrian was interested in nuclear technology?
nope–he called it "jewish science," and lucky for the world he did. Can you imagine if he had made them work on nukes?
Senator Prescott Bush?
Victor Frederick Weisskopf?
Gernot Zippe?
Erwin Schrödinger?
Actually, it's der GropenFuhrer:
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Arnold...
Gaston Glock?
So THAT'S what is falling all around me. Shit, I thought it was rain.
Can this country handle ANYTHING anymore without fucking it up
By this country do you mean the United States or Japan or does it really matter?
I mean this country. Sorry should have been more clear
Hey, when our skin's melting off our bones, we can take comfort in the fact that this was TOTALLY NOT OUR FAULT.
You know, there actually a lot of nuke policy stuff that happens in Vienna, making that dateline make a lot more sense than you'd think- I actually have a friend from college who's working over there on proliferation or something. So TOTALLY NOT A CRAZY PLACE TO COMMENT FROM.
Just FYI. Now feel free to snark away.
Considering the radnet station is in Sacramento, where it's daytime and a weekday and during business hours, it is a little retarded that it's coming from an anonymous diplomat in a beer hall in Vienna on Friday night.
Meh, five hours ago (i.e, when this story hit the tubes) Vienna time would have been ~3 PM. Being acutely familiar with how slow things are at 3:00 on a friday afternoon, as that's exactly what's going on for me right now, I'm actually even less surprised now.
Gogdammnit. Now I'm going assume, always, that any "anonymous leak" is a product of a slow office day somewhere, for someone.
It's already nuclear rained about six inches in the last hour here in rad San Fran.
There are so many soaked, sullen, glow-in-the-dark zombies shuffling around the city right now, it looks like the Sunday afternoon after a big East German bank-sponsored Bergman-themed outdoor foam party-cum-fixie convention.
Sounds like the beginning of Blade Runner.
Considering that I always thought that movie nailed what our future would look like, I'd say we're right on schedule. Fabulous.
Holy shit…you're right!
L00KN 4 PRIS BRB!!1
But with no exciting opportunities awaiting on the off-world colonies (and they still don't advertise for killers in the newspaper).
And no cool Syd Meade architecture or flying cars.
I share your locale. Too bad it isn't the last Friday of the month – Critical Mass might finally live up to its name.
Ha!
Though at the rate we're getting cold Silkwood showered, every Friday from here on out might just end up being critical mass.
And now a tornado. Oh goodie!
You just teleported me back to 1998 or so, in my 2nd story office in the lower Haight, watching hordes of workers in neckties (or carrying their office high heels in a bag) walking to town in a misty rain because the 71 electric bus was broken again.
Whoah! We used to be neighbors:
From '96-'98, I lived in that blood & pus-colored stucco box right next to the meth-lab explosion-made vacant lot on the corner of Haight & Pierce!
The Beemer-driving FiDi guys picking up 14-year-old drug deal escorts in front of Used Rubber for a quick ride around the block every night were one of the first signs that the 'hood was about to get bought up and made a lot less interesting.
Speaking of the worthless, once every hour 71, did you ever have the pleasure of riding it with one-liner spewing urban hobo "Chickenbone"? Man, I gots me some good stories 'bout that carcass-coiffed disaster magnet…
Ha, there's the hidden reply … I lived right across from O'Looney's Liquor, next to Noc Noc, in a big battleship-gray Victorian with an iron cage around the front door/porch. The late "great" Tabloid.net was run from the upstairs of that split-in-half house ….
I know it (O'Looney's and that "ramshackle Victorian") quite well.
In fact, at the time, my girlfriend was a "waitress" at Noc Noc, and probably served you and the elitist TABLOID.net's SF bureau champagne saki bombs or something while the owner was checkmating my ass at the bar.
(Please don't reply to this, because I won't be able to find it without a Geiger counter.)
Nah, those aren't zombies, they're just hipster crack-heads.
snark off
From SA " the waste produced by coal plants is actually more radioactive than that generated by their nuclear counterparts. In fact, the fly ash emitted by a power plant—a by-product from burning coal for electricity—carries into the surrounding environment 100 times more radiation than a nuclear power plant producing the same amount of energy"
The time for clean renewable "proliferation" is now. If the true cost of nuke, coal, NG and any other "cheap abundant" source is compared with solar and wind they don't come close. Our fascist overlords like the centralized structure of big power producing plants that use up some commodity as they can make a profit, which is the ONLY thing they truly care about.
snark on
But I understood that the radiation emitted from a properly working Nuke was Zero.
The problem is when they quit working properly, then they cover the world in invisible toxic shit.
Invisible? Why is my sushi aglow?
Sushi glow because it really excited about invisible exploding poop which it is completely bathed in.
All better now? bon appetit!
Make sure to search every first aid box you can see, they usually contain Rad-X and RadAway in addition to Stimpacks; you can also purchase them from most doctors.
Someone in our office raided the first aid kit for the latex gloves a while ago. I'm afraid to go near the thing now.
be careful not to use too many stimpacks in short succession. they are highly addictive.
Ohhhhhh, that's the stuff!
Not as bad as jet, buffout or alcohol though; besides curing an addiction just takes 100 bottlecaps.
i got addicted far away from a town. it was a long trip back. fever. constipation. shaking. cold sweat. and all just to find the enterprise shuttle…cold turkey had me on the run.
stimpacks are the gateway drug. ha. ha. eh.
Nothing to worry about. Ann Coulter said on O'Reilly that radiation's good for you.
I say, give her a garden hose and send her into the core.
Send the whore to the core!
4,000 millisiervert up-fists for that. O'Reilly should go along to help. And Beck. And Hannity. And…
sounds like a waste of a perfectly good garden hose to me. Give the bitch a bucket.
I thought she had her own hose anyway. If ya know what I mean, and I think you do.
PLEASE someone tell me there's video posted online of this.
http://tv.gawker.com/#!5783191/ann-coulter-to-bil…
I watched 47 seconds…my only explanations are that either:
(1) Ann doesn't understand that there are different types of radiation that can effect you in different ways depending on the amount of exposure, and can also have unhealthy long term effects (for example, chemotherapy can fight your cancer but also make you so sick your hair falls out); or
(2) Ann's a dumb bitch who is exceptionally good at being oblivious to any information that doesn't fit neatly within her pre-existing world view.
(3) She's a professional troll who doesn't believe a word that seeps from her toxic face-hole, and only spews provocative shit in order to book more television appearances and sell books.
Well radiation is good for you – certain kinds that is; for example without electromagnetic radiation in the visible light range we couldn't see. The kind of radiation that comes from nuclear fission and waste however? Yeah that ain't too good; ask history's only double and first female Nobel prize winner how who discovered radioactivity what it did to her health.
A bad tan?
No, the media isn't reporting this because so they can sensationalize the nuclear accident, not because it's not true!
That gal can suck a fuel rod through a garden hose.
Gal?
Please let this be the final straw of stupidity that gets her banned from television forever.
That may explain her Adam's apple.
"Ann Coulter said on O'Reilly that radiation's good for you."
Well, isn't *that* a fine how do you do!
I always thought her freakishly long neck and grotesque, bobbing Adam's apple were a result of deep-throating Satan, but maybe she's just got some sort of hideously malformed thyroid thing goin' on there.
The more you know…
If you believe what a lot of people say, ( and by people I mean us here at Wonkette), she already has her own hose.
Darn it, i should have read all of these replies before I made the exact same joke… When will I ever learn? (Probably never.)
O'Reilly continues his campaign to look partially sane by having people (and Ann Coulter) on who are so crazy that he appears wise and judicious for that segment.
Not even the most teabaggy of teabaggers could accept what that addled meth head was so adamant about. Possibly a paid spokesman for the nuclear industry but no one else.
I feel fine.
The new pickup line here in L.A. is "Hey baby, wanna go back to my place and share some potassium iodide?"
I let you be in my dream if I can be in yours?
A boy and his dog! Don Johnson's first foray into sucking at acting.
He actually had mastered that in this film, I felt. I can't imagine that it is humanly possible to suck more than he did.
Dog was good, though.
Tommmcatt, old friend, how could you forget, his closest rival at sucking at acting was also his wife (twice), the working girl, the one with the mind for business and the body for sucking at acting. The pinnacle of her suckitude: Cherry 2000. I think she actually surpassed him in sucking. Did they have children? If they did, those children must never, ever ever be allowed into showbiz. Not even in a John Waters movie.
Hardly the worst actors ever, though. I cast my vote for Keanu Reeves on that one.
Wasn't he in The Taming of the Shrew with Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompso, back when she was smoking hot? (I'da hit it)
Also, back in the day when he was starring in The Secret Garden of Stanley Sweetheart with Holly Near (yeah, she pretends to forget that), he was HAWTT, which is more than anyone could ever say about Keanu Reeves, who always looks like he just stumbled out of the Viper Room's john. He also has the redeeming value of having been in a band with Bob Weir, working with the Allman Brothers Band, and being friends with Willie Nelson. So I guess what I'm saying is, he has an ounce more value than Kevin Costner.
But hardly his last.
On the bright side, radiation is invisible, so it won't sweep any damn fool picture takers out to sea.
It'll just ruin their film.
Film? Oh, you is an old…….<grin>
Ah, but with the crazy storm us in SF are getting right now and the supermoon high tides I'm sure we can find a fool or two to take pics on the beach and go bye bye.
Sometimes we aren't very smart.
Eh, it's just not as impressive to see the big guy wiping out a dusty little cowtown like Sacramento. His heart's just not in it.

Another non-emergency to not use that plastic and duct tape you had left over from 9-11.
So…should the farmers in here in Iowa continue with their plan to market "high-energy atomic corn syrup" or not? It's almost planting season, guys.
Hooray for transparency!
Is that what it's called when we can see our own bones glowing through our skin?
I wear my sunglasses at night.
I'm confused by the picture accompanying this post. Are we supposed to make out with dogs when the nuclear apocalypse comes? Rick Santorum is gonna have a fucking brain aneurysm when he finds out.
I read it as some kind of campy 50s-style commercial:
Boy: Gosh, Brownie, I can't wait till I'm old enough to join the Army and smoke cigarettes!
Dog: You bet, Billy! And I got rid of those pesky fleas, too — thanks to Nukes!
Announcer voice-over: Yes, Nuclear Power, the cleanest, safest energy source!
This plume is taking America back, creating jawbz.
So, basically, it's about a thousand-billion times more dangerous to drive your car in L.A. than to stand around a nuclear reactor and tan your gonads.
Yes, There's my reason to not go into work today!
Yet another reason not to live on the Wrong Coast, between Earthquakes, Mudslides, Forest Fires, the LAPD, and now Nuclear Death-Rain, also, too.
My life's already a total fucking disaster — that my death could (will?) be as well I find karmically comforting.
Hippies too also.
Eh, we make up the difference with a double-dose of hipsters. The Pac Northwrong offers some stiff competition there, but honestly the white supremacists are sort of a bigger problem.
2 words for you….the OC
I really hope that nuclear death rain will wash away the stench of patchouli.
What is it about pot that makes people fail to realize how horrible that smell is, anyway?
It's an acquired smell. Sorta like scotch drinking.
If it's good it smells good and gets your mouth all watery.
Well let me give you three good reasons to live here:
1. weed
2. weed
3. weed
and as a bonus, hot wimmens everywhere, with weed.
That reminds me of when we moved from NY to CA. People asked me if I was afraid of the earthquakes. (This, after Mr. Fatale's boss was killed in the World Trade Center on 9/11.)
My reply was always: "No."
Well, yeah, I'd probably rate the LAPD higher on my list of California things to be afraid of than earthquakes.
(also, seriously, sorry to hear about Mr. Fatale's boss- my estranged father works/worked for an engineering firm that used to be based in one of the towers, and he had accepted a transfer to their Yorktown office, but he still had a lot of colleagues and, presumably, friends there in 2000)
Ugh! Southern CA sucks (sorry, O.C.). I went to UCI, and was constantly surprised by the conservative, Repub, mindset.
Eerie, but true: My husband's boss was covering a conference for him, because he had an important appointment. They agreed that Mr. Fatale would attend in the afternoon. Glad to hear that your father escaped.
Fallout on surfers and cancers on thyroids
Bright MOXie kettles and warm jet stream breezes
Iodide packages and kittens with wings
These are a few of my favorite things
I must admit that kittens with wings *does* sound awfully cute.
You know there is a silver lining in all this, especially if the government is lying YET AGAIN about a health hazard. We can tell all the OC wingnuts it's okay to go back to doing their daily activities outside such as dancing on the bodies of dead poors or burning piles of money while keeping poor people behind electric fences for shits and giggles. Even better, they can lower the top on the SL-450 while they're out buying yet another Bentley or yet another whore diamond today, the coast is clear, Reaganites, you can go shopping, hooray!
Everytime I hear a talking head mention something about radiation I can't help but think of Repo Man.
J. Frank Parnell/Mann Coulter: Ever been to Utah? Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense. Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year. They ought to have them, too. When they canceled the project it almost did me in. One day my mind was full to bursting. The next day – nothing. Swept away. But I'll show them. I had a Lobotomy, um, sex change in the end.
Otto: Lobotomy? Sex change? Are you a chick with a dick?
Parnell/Coulter: Not at all. Friend of mine had both. He was a contarded talking head. You ever hear of the Federalists or Club For Growth? Destroys people – leaves money growing. Fits in two words, low taxes. It's so stupid, no one knows it's there until – BLAMMO. Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead. So immoral, working on the thing can drive you mad or change your sex. That's what happened to this friend of mine. So he had a lobotomy/sex change. Now she's well again.
"John Wayne is a fag."
Two-way mirrors
True story: I lived in Las Vegas when John Wayne died. The headline on the Las Vegas Sun was "Nuclear Bomb Kills John Wayne" and the article went on to explain that because many Westerns were filmed near St. George, UT when they were testing nukes above ground in the Nevada Test Range, the fallout more than likely caused his cancer.
As opposed to his two pack a day habit.
Yeah, but what about the time machines?
I blame society.
That's bullshit. You're a
whitesuburban punk just like mePlate of shrimp.
DON"T LOOK IN THE TRUNK!
It's good you cooled down on the end of the world rhetoric Ken, I was starting to worry you'd become the leftist answer to Alex & Glenn.
If the anonymous diplomat is hawt we should make'em stand around nekkid, also.
*puts on Sex Police hat and badge to prepare for this*

Is it sad that I hope the nuclear fallout here California is bad enough that real estate prices deflate even more and I can finally afford to buy a house?
Real Estate Agent: You know… this neighborhood has pretty good schools and is safe.
Couple: /looks at price $250K/ If everything is so great about the house then why is it so cheap?
Real Estate Agent /looks conspiratorial and whispers/: There's a small problem with the underground areas with CHUDs. It's only a small problem which is why you shouldn't let your kids play near any sewers. That's why the executor of the estate is selling it, not the owners.
you say nuclear, I say nuculer…
Finally, my race of atomic supermen can rise!

Heh-heh. Hawt Tamron Hall just talked on TV about "burying rods."
I'd like to bury my rod in Tamron Hall and melt her casings…oh oh oh
Sadly, you'd probably get to before me, if she's a p-ness size queen.
But yeah, she makes my 'HDTV' drool whenever she's on it.
Yeah I would definitely like the chance to spray fluids on her in the hopes of some of it getting in her hole.

They tried that in 1998. It didn't go well.
Hey California, the Gulf Coast will trade you toxic dispersant for harmless radiation. Don't worry, the government swears our toxic dispersant is also "harmless."
any chance that nuclear meltdown and wafting radiation will convince the great fat unwashed masses that government regulation is sometimes ok?
nah, what am i saying.
If the BP oil spill, with all parties involved having not followed even minimal regulations, yet not being penalized, didn't do it, this probably won't either.
Or the Massey coal mine having eleventy billion safety violations, then 20-some miners DYING.
Or… I could go on…
i was going to post that exact same list but i feel like shit today and typing was too hard.
(financial meltdown also).
THIS IS A TRAVESTY on the level of taxing my FREEDOM to use TANNING BEDS you commies.
Ahh, it all makes sense now. The new Orange Overlord got tired of paying for his tan.
Screw thyroid, see my new selection of lead lined underwear on sale NOW.
"Why is it that in this era, only comedians tell the truth?"
Thus has it ever been. See: Bruce, Lenny.
Just cut social services and taxes for the rich and it'll all go away.
There is no known "safe" dosage of radiation.
ALL exposure is cumulative over your lifetime and can lead to DNA damage…
Exposure to radiation makes you want to eat your dog?! WTF?!!!!
You have incorrectly interpreted the hunger in that young boy's eyes.
prolly the weed.
Quite soon, the media and governments

For crying out loud, they did like a thousand H-bomb tests out on the outskirts of Las Vegas in the 50s and nothing unusual happened there.
tell that to my sister who had thyroid cancer from drinking milk as a child-which was produced downwind from Nevada……the whole of Nebraska and Kansas suffered from this sort of fall out. I only got Graves Disease since I was two years later. Now no health insurance will cover my thyroid for any reason…(am hoping this changes soon)
What people don't grasp is how fucking amazing these detectors are. One particle, guys, one particle, they can pick up. About 100000x less than that damn glow in the dark watch you had as a kid.
Oh thank the sweet baby Jeebus I live in way over in Michigan!! Wait… never mind.
Govt should be transparent to the people. It should put the truth before them. http://zetaclearfacts.net
I have been waiting for my thyroid cancer for years. You will pry my cancer-ridden thyroid from my cold, dead hands.
"Everyone is freaking out on the West Coast"??? Really? Not anybody I know. It is raining right now though – Angelenos do freak out about that.

I don't know about that; she probably has to spend three to four hours in the makeup chair first, concealing the horns and covering up the scales.
