Re: This Is CNN
Hmm... I find myself wondering if it's a bad thing that DHS has no money.
Also, I think that I prefer that my news be delivered by Llama, from now on.

I just heard that the llama had a better offer from NBC to replace Brian Williams.

If DHS runs out of money, that's Secret Service, Border Patrol, and TSA...
Come to think of it? SHMIV may be right.

Re: This Is CNN
Somebody on Fox News said 85% of DHS personnel are classified as essential, and so must work without pay until money is appropriated.
I find that 85% proposition hard to swallow. After all, prior to 9/11/2001, DHS didn't even exist. I know they put a lot of existing functions into DHS, but I'll bet anything that a lot of the massive number of new hires we could do without. And just for instance, if Border Patrol is so damned essential, why won't they allow them to do their damned job when they DO have money?
Looks to me like it's time to take a meat axe to the federal payroll, and DHS is as good a place to start as any.

Not gonna happen.dorminWS wrote: And just for instance, if Border Patrol is so damned essential, why won't they allow them to do their damned job when they DO have money?

We should just vote a llama for president; They're cuter, more coherent, more tolerable, less smelly, and can speak a whole lot better than obama!
