"The President also admitted that he did not know Lonetta Menefee was promoted to regional manager of the Akron district of the US Post Office, despite the fact that the Postmaster General reports directly to the President!"
Yeah, that's about an equivalent situation....you bet.
Nothing like plumbing the depths of absurdity to make a point.
Wonder if coop would be safe to go quail hunting with? "Dammit, it's YOUR fault that you got in the way of what I was shooting at! I can't be expected to keep track of all the hunters in my group!"
Let's see - was the anthrax terrorism in the US spread via a port, or the US Post Office?
Did the 9/11 terrorists get to America by hiding in shipping containers or by strolling through airports unchecked by the INS?
The port situation is a hyped-up non-issue.
99% of employees will remain local American citizens and all federal regulations and inspection procedures - procedures well known to anyone involved in the shipping industry - will remain in place.
It is a tempest in a teapot.
I'm far more concerned about materials being smuggled into the US via personal craft and van than I am about seaports, which are far more secure than private docks on the Florida coast or our land borders.
RE; #26...of course you're probably aware by now...that was sarcasm. ;^)
