Ridge Leaving

Tom Ridge is stepping down as Director of Homeland Security. The man had a thankless job and, since I believe the DHS is a bad idea from start to finish, I wasn't going to be overly impressed with anything he did. But he will leave knowing that the United States did not suffer a terrorist attack on his watch. How much of that is actually due to his actions is debatable; I'd say his influence was pretty slim. But it certainly beats the alternative.

I apologize for only allowing authenticated commenters, but comment spam overwhelms the site if I don't use those measures to prevent it. I reserve the right to delete any comment, although generally comments will only be deleted due to use of profanity or personal attacks on people. I have no objection to vigorous argument, but when name-calling begins, I'm putting a stop to it. In the immortal words of Eugene Levy, "People, people, let's stop this before somebody says something untrue!" If you want to call people names, I recommend you get your own blog.

Now who is going to tell me that we have nonspecific information from an unknown source that someplaces may or may not be in danger, These places could be schools or malls, and we are raising the alert level to fuchsia just to be safe, but go out and be normal.

Hey, is that Iraqi information minister available?
