Good grief

Via Thersites at metacomments, we learn that your tax dollars are being spent to harrass federal workers over bumper stickers. Red State, Meet Police State
Around 2:15 p.m., Scarbrough says, he answered his office phone and found himself talking to a man who identified himself as Officer R. of the Department of Homeland Security. (I'm withholding the officer's name; you know, what with Plamegate and all.) Scarbrough was told that he was in violation of the Code of Federal Regulations, the set of rules that govern all executive departments and agencies, and that he was in danger of being cited unless he came out to the parking lot or let the officer come up to his office.

Read the rest. Somehow I doubt that officers from the Homeland Security Department (who fucking thought up that fascist name anyway?) are bothering people with pro-Bush bumperstickers.

When chimpy talks about the ongoing threat to America, he means us. Don't you feel safer? Feh.

Isn't that story incredible? I especially like that this apparently is the only reason to even have Homeland Security in Idaho, to bother this guy.
