The Government Protects Us Yet Again!

I was going to talk about immigration, when the story about the personal data of 26.5 million--that's 26.5 MILLION -- veterans being stolen from a Veterans Adminstration employee--who took a laptop home with him. Here are some of our good leaders reassuring us that everything's really ok

Stuff happens, right? Just another typical day of our adminstration's carefully chosen, competent, leaders running things with their usual efficiency, careful planning, and foresightedness, heading off potential problems. It's good to know that our affairs and records remain in such good hands. Thank goodness there wasn't a real emergency; although that might have allowed the Bush appointees to really strut their stuff.
