This is like something out of the old Realist. It got me thinking that the FBI must have a section for goof balls who can’t cut it tracking down real crime, much less terrorists. Once in the FBI you can’t get fired for incompetency because that would reflect badly on the FBI hiring practices and anyway they need to grow the force every year. So they find some “play area” for the goof balls to work in. Goof balls snoopy on equally goofy characters blowing up SUV or whatnot. A clever script and we have a movie in the making Chris.

“I wished we lived in the America of yesteryear that only exists in the minds of us Republicans” -Ned Flanders, “The Simpsons”

The desperation is so intense it seemed everyone jumped on the Gore bandwagon this week. One speech and the Democrats are redeemed? Reactionary politics at its finest.
