Do You Feel Safer?

Daily, if not hourly, Preznit Chimp tells us HE has made us safer from terrah by swing his big manly, Texas (via Connecticut/New Hampshire/Maine, all well known Texas counties) dick at whoever raised his ire at that moment. So a moment of contemplation.

Five years ago today (and everyone sing Happy Birthday, cuz they ARE watching) the Department of Homeland Security was formed. Five years of making America safer. Savor the safetyness!

In that five years, the Terror Alert Level (ooooo) has been at YELLOW ("Be sorta/kinda afraid, and vote for US or die!") Level with a few sorties into the Orange ("Be pretty much paranoid, turn in those pesky brownskinned folks, and vote for US or DIE!") Level. You'd think, given the STERLING (not a level but what they're stealing in DHS contracts) job they've done protecting us, that we might have dropped into BLUE ("Relax a LITTLE and vote for US or maybe get a cold!") level for at least ONE 24 hour period, wouldn't ya? Just asking. I'm not asking for Green, just a delightful day of Blue.
