My name for DHS...

Since before it was actually created, during the debate over its creation after 9/11/01, I coined a new designation for what became DHS--the "KGWB". As most of you can figure out, it's a play on the old Soviet KGB, because it was sounding like a nearly identical agency, with GWB's imprimatur on it. And Tom Ridge just looked like a Soviet commisar, sans battle ribbons.

And now it's acting like the G**-D***** KGB! Abolish it. Burn it to the ground. Spread the ashes over Stalin's grave. And repeal the f*cking Patriot Act!
