I'm so sleeeeeeepy. Work is the slowest ever today. Somebody do something entertaining, would you?

Or, alternately, join me in wondering why the word "Democracy" now seems to belong exclusively to the Democratic Party, the way that "Family Values" seems to belong exclusively to the Republican Party. What's up with that?

My theory is that they wanted to create some sort of phrase that sounded very parental to frightened people, but the Motherland is already Africa, and the Fatherland is already Germany, so Homeland is what they had left. I actually don't know what the NSA mandate is, but I imagine there's a fair degree of redundancy. But hey, bureaucracy is what makes this country great, right? You can't possibly be doing something about a problem unless you're creating new agencies.

And since when have I got followers?

Your "followers" would be the people whose comments follow your entries.
