Homeland Security

The president has submitted a plan for the creation of The Department of Homeland Security, which proposes the most significant reorganization of the US government adminstration since the second world war.

developing ...

As I said in another thread: Calling this reorganization "re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic" is probably a bit harsh. But only a bit.

I hope it degenerates into partisan bickering and no department is created.

Then who's going to set up the reeducation camps you can see Bush muttering about after they turn off his mic?

I'll do it. But don't be surprised if _my_ re-education camps feature such torturous things as American History (emphasis on the Revolution), trignometry (with emphasis on ballistics applications), and calculus (OK, that one really is torture, have to do somthing to keep the Prez unsuspecting as to the real purpose... :-) )

Top on *my* reeducation priority list is pronunciation of the word "nuclear".

Because the president can't pronounce the word nuclear, the administration now favors "dirty" bomb as the weapon of mass destruction of the evil doers.

A dirty bomb isn't a nuke; it's a conventional high explosive with a radioactive casing.

Speaking of which...

Two ideas that might as well be in the US Constitution:

Justice is incidental to law and order. - J. Edgar Hoover

When the president does it, that's means it is not illegal. - Richard Nixon

So, extending the metaphor: When the president says it, that means its proper grammar?
