Our border security arrested independent war correspondent Michael Yon in Seattle. Why? For the heinous offense of refusing to disclose his income. Yon has since been released. To clarify: Your father can report you to a US Embassy as a terrorist threat, you can match up with every terrorist profile out there, and MI5 and the CIA can have you on their threat list...but don't you dare not tell the Border Guards your adjusted gross income!
Glad to know we're taking terrorism seriously.
Say it with me: Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.

Bennie Thompson being investigated?
I don't know if I would even know it if I wasn't a regular reader of Hot Air. The Cryin' Liar has nothing on the front page, and if any of their writers has blogged on it, that's news to me. The McCoy Journal is no better. I guess shaking down credit card companies for 15 grand in campaign donations-while threatening them from his position as Homeland Security Chairman-isn't newsworthy at all.
The sad thing is that Sid Salter has a blog up right now that is bemoaning the coverage of Tiger Woods' love life over the economy, the wars, and all the other apocalyptic news. And while I'm sick of Tiger talk myself, can't one of you guys be spared from the bar at Hal and Mal's to ask some questions, or is that too much to ask?
They seem to want to make all my "Congressman-for-Life" jokes come true.

I Hate Being Right
It amazes me that our state has continued to send Bennie Thompson back to Congress; however, I'm not blind as to the reasons, and I understand the reason that he continues to be sent back to Washington. But the Congressman-for-Life is the chairman of one of the most prominent, important, and deadly serious committees, and that is an awesome responsibility. That's the Homeland Security Committee.
However, the Congressman-for-Life has used it to hand out contracts like candy, turning the committee into another pork-barrel extravaganza. The new fleet of police cars for the Bolton police department (a department consisting of eight people) is a fine example of this. Instead of promoting the security of the US, the Congressman-for-Life has turned it into a candy store.
Disgusting, but not unexpected.
