If You Know What's Good For You...

Distinguished political scientist and military analyst Erica Jong, perky authoress of the classic 70s Bildungsroman Fear of Flying, gazes into her crystal ball:

If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood will run in the streets, believe me. And it's not a coincidence that President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead against American citizens in the streets.

Gee whiz, I know those on the left demur vigorously when their patriotism is questioned but just the same, I'm tempted to believe Miss Jong is issuing a threat as well as a prediction.
