If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
But really, the whole mess was taken so out of proportion, and politicians on both sides of the political spectrum were trying to use this whole thing as leverage for their own gain. There were so many lies that were spread around about the whole thing that it was just ridiculous. And the media coverage on this, when there were other big events going on around the world, was just asinine. Nevermind that there was an earthquake that killed a couple thousand, the networks just cared about ratings.
One important lesson came about in all this: Make sure you have a living will. If I ever create one, I'm going to make sure it reads something like this.
