I'M HONORED

If blogger Mark Byron takes the blogosphere to the presidency, I could join him--I've received a cabinet nomination from himto head up Homeland Security. Thanks Mark. Meanness pays.

The first thing I'd do is change the #$% name of the department. We need to call it the Department of Defense, and the current DoD would be renamed either Department of Offense (since it does its fighting on foreign soil) or the good old fashioned Department of War (since that's what it actually wages on our enemies).

But hey, I'm honored. I'd like to thank my Mom and Dad, and my wife and son for putting up with blogging, and Chris for adding some grist to the JYB mill, and all the little people. Oh, I am one of the little people. Well then I'd like to thank all the little people besides me.

Actually, though, if names already in use are fair game for the REAL name of the apallingly named Homeland Security Dept, the proper one would be the Dept of the Interior, as it does pretty much what Interior Ministry’s all over the world do. Of course, I always took pride in the fact that Interior Ministry’s in general were always so sinister, while in the US it was symbolized by Smokey the Bear.

But waddya gonna do.

I actually like the idea of referring to DHS as “the Home Office”, though that might smack a bit too much of perfidious Albion.

There’s gotta be SOMETHING out there better than “Homeland Security” which sounds like it oughta be run by a Gauleiter or Lord Vader.
