B52 launched AGM-129, W80 mod one...on the way...

Can I wear a really neat uniform with lots of big medals?

No you can't, that would cause (at least with the males here) medal envy. You may have lots of medals, but no BIG ones. Ok?

Former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik is the likely choice to head the federal Homeland Security Department during President George W. Bush's second term, according to sources close to Homeland Security officials.

 

Kerik would replace Tom Ridge, the first head of the department, who on Tuesday announced his intention to resign once a successor is in place.

 

Kerik, 49, served as police commissioner for 16 months during 2000 and 2001 and gained national prominence during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He previously was city corrections commissioner.

 

After leaving the police post, he undertook a mission for the Bush administration to help train Iraqi police. He earned his spurs as a Bush political loyalist by delivering a prime-time speech praising the president during the Republican convention and campaigning for him in the fall.

 

Speculation about a move to Washington increased recently when Kerik sold $5-million worth of stock in Taser, the stun-gun manufacturer.

 

The White House declined to comment on the appointment last night.

Sure, design 'em yourself, or even the uniform...just like Patton. May I also suggest we bring back really big bicorne hats. Something that twould make Napoleon or Lord Nelson proud.

i nominate myself. as proof of my abilities, here is the "Cowbell Alert Level"

 

Low - No cowbell is necessary. Examples are SNL skits involving Christopher Walken or anything to do with the Bush Twins

Guarded - General state of Cowbell

Elevated - Some Cowbell is necessary to overcome some situation of suckiness. Several posts by TSW members (who are known to need more cowbell) fall into this category

High - Cowbell is absolutely necessary to overcome extraordinary lameness. Examples are crappy music and pretty much anything involving John Kerry

Severe - The most severe cases can only be solved by spending two years in a Viet Cong prison camp rammed up Christopher Walken's ass

It takes a little more than Cowbell...but you definitely are up for UnderSecretary of Warning and Reporting.

 

And, Chef is in charge of making sure our food supplies remain safe. We'll start with Fois de Gras and Filet. Testing at 8 PM.

That's SALTY!

 

See, you have to have attention to detail (or at least remember what you might have said yesterday) to be in charge.

 

What's wrong with the SE region? Best place in America. You'd be away from the flagpole in Atlanta and could get away with tons of stevejoh-whatever.

 

Think about it.

If you like the sound of ridiculous under-titles, Gregg Easterbrook mentioned some funny ones in one of his columns, listing favorites: "Deputy Assistant Deputy Administrator," "Deputy Deputy Assistant Secretary," "Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary" and "Chief of Staff to the Associate Assistant Secretary." There's the actual list in this article.

Sweet....

 

I say Suh, the South shall rise again!

 

My first step was to order a moat dug all around the Southeast, but the damn Fish & Wildlife Dept. got on my case about giving the snakehead "frankenfish" a means of migrating across the Southeast. My answer was good, they can fight it out with the alligators who will defend the moat...but the g-friend is an environmental engineer, so I lost that argurment. :w00t:

 

So I moved to plan B...now when we reach a level of high cowbell, we will activate a giant inflatable wall, of course filled with ozone friendly gases (stupid EPA). Not sure what defensive/security role this will play, but budget constraints wouldn't let us use stone, sticks, or straw.

 

 

If you need me, I'll be in my office...I need to practice shouting "I didn't authorize this!"
