Thank You, Great Britain

Thank you for keeping America safe so our president doesn't have to:

• Days the color-coded federal terror alert system has been in place: 1,607
• Days spent at terror alert level Blue or Green: 0

Thanks, too, to Randi Rhodes and Hunter for pointing out that the terrorist plot was foiled by British law enforcement – not torture, extraordinary rendition, illegal domestic spying or conventional warfare. (Gee, who got slammed for promoting that idea a couple years ago? Oh yeah... John Kerry. And who treated him like a loony traitor for it? Oh yeah... the knuckle-dragger wing of the Republican party. At the risk of sounding like a broken record: Be Safe – Vote for Democrats.)

BTW: It’s been four years, ten months and twenty-five days since President Bush pledged to capture Bin Laden “dead or alive.” Q: How is the search going? A: A 7' man dragging a dialysis machine from cave to cave is still on the loose.
