4. he will NEVER be able to live down that duct tape thing

strangers will probably mention it to him for decades to come.

6. re: duct tape and plastic sheeting, did you see 60 Minutes tonight?

Ridge and Ashcroft know what you're reading at the library, but you can walk right in to toxic chemical storage facilities if you smile and wave.

9. phew...i seem to be a verb

5. Interesting Question.

Ridge's Department never seemed like anything but cover and window dressing for this administration. Apparently, no real usefulness to these guys unless another "event" occurs...then he'll take the heat.

7. Saw a billboard the other day...

It had some vague slogan about being prepared, and then below it said, "Ready.gov."

My mom said, "what do you think that is?"

I guessed it was Homeland Security stuff, and by golly, it was... Safety precautions and stuff.

Anybody else seen these billboards at all?

8. havne't seen billboards, but they have a good website

I like the layout and its easy to use. They have info about FEMA stuff - like what to do in a flood. So its not just about terrorism.

10. He's just cashing those big ole paychecks we give him

and occasionally they trot him out for a photo-op..

A total waste of dna..

[alphafemale]

11. I kinda miss the the guy. He was, at least,not shootin out evil vibes.

Yeah. Tom's rather a dope, but he's comfortable, like a flannel shirt just out of the dryer.

Archaic Mr. Tater Head?....yeah.

Still.

I can't imagine he's "In On" the crap to the level that Ash-Man, Cheney and Turd-Blossom are.

12. since the invasion of iraq

there has been no need for bogus 'alerts' to scare the sheeples. so ol' tom can go back to doing what he does best - being clueless...
