There are times when Bush makes me want to SCREAM!!!

Sorry, Teribus, but you're full of it. Living in a port city as I do (containers are off-loaded at docks directly adjacent to the downtown area), I have heard a fair number of discussions on both radio and local television about port security. One of the worrisome things that many city officials invariably mention is the fact that only about 4% of containers coming into American ports are actually inspected. The manifest does not necessarily itemize what is really in the container. For example, people being smuggled into the country in containers. A substantial problem for INS. If a couple dozen people can be smuggled into the country in a cargo container without being detected, why not a nuclear bomb?

I'm practicing something I learned in school some decades back: Duck and cover!

As to Ann Coulter, a clue to her mental makeup is that matters such as birth control and the option of legal abortion, things she would deny others, do not concern her personally. She eats her young.
