I Feel Safer Every Day
For a year after September 11 I had to listen to Tom Ridge announce the color-coded threat level in response to John Ashcroft’s threat assessments, pretty much a monthly event, if not more frequent. The Department of Homeland Security is charged with the coordination of intelligence-gathering and law enforcement agencies at the federal level, and besides being adepts with crayons, they’re also apparently brilliant at locating terrorist support groups, like toy stores. When Kerry’s President, can we get rid of Ridge?
