It turns out the Capitol Police have bolstered security around the U.S. Capitol after a recent al-Qaeda communique threatened an attack on Washington. Lott, according to Roll Call, responded with characteristic gravitas. In light of the heightened threat, Congress can either amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or all of us can run screaming into the inferno.
The latter choice sounds way more interesting to me. From a visual standpoint particularly.
Actually what Lott said was, or "the disaster could be on our doorstep." And...
Further demonstrating his counterterrorism sagacity, when asked if people should leave Washington, D.C., during the month of August, Lott replied that "I think it would be good to leave town in August, and it would probably be good to stay out until September the 12th."
September 12? Because the magic date will have passed?
Practical fellow, isn't he? Where will all the citizens of DC go for a month and a half? Those that don't have vacation time built up. FEMA trailers in Pittsburgh?
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.

I guess if I were to come up with a more creative name for Bob's Links and Rants, similar to yours or WIIIAI's, "But I repeat myself" would be a good choice.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Lott--
How's his porch coming?
Is Strom Thurmond still dead?
