This new Orifice of Bonehead InSecurity will be nothing but a big drain on the U.S. economy. Its budget will grow from year to year as its beaurocrats will be prone to see a terrorist act behind every "Bush Sucks" statement from here on out.

Hell, I feel more secure just typing about it... Makes it seem all the more credible to sidle alongside the conspiracy theorists and hypothesize that the elections were rigged just so this blunderbus could sail through Congress.
