Fortress AmeriKKKa - Day 540

Alert the Minutemen! Tell them that not only do they have to watch the Northern Border for Homeland Security, but they have to watch the legal border crossings, too!

According to a CNN story thousands of people who shouldn't have been admitted to the United States were accidentally--oopsie!--allowed in last year because of security lapses at legal border crossings as a result of understaffing and inadequate training.

Maybe they should hire illegal immigrants. They do pretty good work. . .

Is it just me, or do the talking heads on the the TV news seem depressed that Dean missed the United States? As late as yesterday morning, one San Antonio weatherman was still saying, "Once Dean gets into the Bay of Campeche anything could happen and the storm could come our way" even as all the computer models were predicting landfall in Mexico.

And on the morning news, one reporter almost moaned about how weak the storm was when it came ashore, "For the resorts, Dean was just a windy rainstorm."

Are they actually hoping for catastrophe and municipal inefficiency on the scale of Katrina and the City of New Orleans? Apparently so, only Texas news outlets seemed to report that Governor Rick "Merck" Perry sent 1000 school buses, hundreds of fuel tanks, and the National Guard to the coast to prepare for a possible landfall. Instead, the national news was reporting that the levees in New Orleans will still overflow, but only in the poor areas of town.

Oh, and they squeezed in news that Prince William was back with his Girlfriend and trying to ditch the media. Good luck with that, Willie.

I'm glad Howard K. Stern doesn't read my blog. I suggested that if this were a TV drama (and isn't it?), he would have murdered Anna Nicole and Danny to gain control of the Howard fortune. I just said if were Matlock, that would be the storyline.

He's suing Anna Nicole's mom's lawyer for definition, I mean, defamation of character for saying he murdered Anna Nicole.

And if CNN and Entertainment Tonight aren't on their knees thanking the Flying Spaghetti Monster for Anna Nicole's death, they need to be!
