Once again my cynical side had to laugh when I watched the news last night. The video shows someone waving from behind some vertical blinds, claiming that this is Michael Jackson acknowledging his fans. Couldn't it just as easily be somebody joking around? Now if a baby had been dangled I'd believe it was the King of Poop. Um, Pop, sorry!

I'm sure we all feel safer with a new head of Homeland Insecurity in place. Especially since he vows to 'balance' national security with civil liberties. I know I feel better.
