Today's color is yellow (or yeller, depending where you're from). It's the color of an elevated security level, whatever that means. I'm sure we're all breathing a sigh of relief that Tom Ridge is tired of orange this week, though! "I'm not sure we're ever going to be able to say that because we raised it from yellow to orange...that it deterred a terrorist from acting," Ridge said. "But we feel very strongly that it is a very, very important part of how we prosecute domestically the war on terrorism." I think they should change it to puce. That would really deter the terrorists! Thanks to Driko for the suggestion.
