If you're a potential threat, and you want to get those critical pictures of a bridge or a nuclear reactor, what do you do? After all, these days you're bound to have cops on your ass within minutes.
Joshua Bell is perhaps America's finest classical musician. Just this week he accepted the Avery Fisher Prize for his accomplishments. I admit I wouldn't know; I've never been much into classical music. But I can recognize stupidity anywhere.
In case you haven't noticed, there haven't been any posts here in several days. This is primarily because I've been wrapped up with another project which has taken up virtually all of my time since the last post. To make it up to you, I'm just going to give you links to several interesting items in my unread list for you to enjoy.
With each presidential election the candidates seem more proscribed and the selection process more truncated. Inner party poopers, talking heads and big money try to seal the deal before the ink is dry on the last guy. This time the dumb beats loudest for Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani. Hillary and Rudy are more alike than they're different.
In honor of Star Wars' 30th anniversary, the United States Postal Service is unveiling a new commemorative stamp March 29. And my very own Lincoln, Neb., is one of 200 cities nationwide to be selected for a new mailbox to mark the event.
The Department of Homeland Security is moving its headquarters to a lunatic asylum. As Dave Barry is fond of saying, I am not making this up.
The easiest way to get past airport security, without going through airport security, is to have an accommodating employee take you around the back way into the supposedly sterile area. Why would an airport employee do that? There are at least two possible reasons. The first is that the employee is helping terrorists. The second is that the passenger is former Vice President Al Gore.
Everyone hates going into the post office, and yet everyone has to do it sooner or later. The lines are almost always long, and you're guaranteed to be waiting and waiting and waiting. But never fear, the United States Postal Service is doing something about it. They're removing their wall clocks.
On January 31, Boston and Massachusetts officials terrorized that city and made asses of themselves in the national news. And they extorted $2 million and almost ruined two people's lives over a cartoon character they intentionally mischaracterized as a threat. Apparently trying to repeat their performance, they sent the bomb squad out again Wednesday to blow up another "suspicious device" in Boston's financial district. Only this time, the plan to extort some other hapless company backfired in their faces.
Police these days are seeing bombs everywhere, even though there really aren't any actual bombs. It's clear that they need help.
