We're talking about Joe Patriot, here, who's going to join the TIPS program ... without actually registering, I guess ... based on knowing the Government's looking for a few good Truckers, Cable Guys, Bank Auditors, or whatever other Private Sector folks they think are somehow especially positioned to observe Suspicious behavior.

Is there something wrong with "joe patriot"?

Absolutely not.

I think patriotism -- as in love of country -- is a magnificent and admirable quality.

It's nationalism that's problematic for me.

Joe Nationalist just didn't have the same ring to it ... although it would have been more correct.

The use of Patriot (like the PATRIOT Act, for example), was just a spur of the moment thing. Pure poetry, don't you think? We'll discuss the nitty gritty some other time.

You joining up?
