Can't think of a Better Place for them ....

LOL .. this post is SO COOL. I had to copy it here for you. I tried to just link it over but ... I am so busy I haven't the time to stop and figure out everything I don't know ...

Anyway ..... it's with much pleasure and thanks to Deep Something ... that I tie this hilarity to everything wrong in Tampa and America today.


Oh, and don't forget to replace the word Security with Control

From Deep Something

Under the “you can’t make this stuff up category,” The Department of Homeland Security is moving its headquarters to a lunatic asylum.

Under a plan projected to cost $3 billion, beginning in 2011 DHS will begin moving most of its 60 Washington, D.C.-based offices to a new building it will construct on the grounds of St. Elizabeths Hospital, an insane asylum still in operation in Washington.

St. Elizabeths Hospital holds the dubious distinction of being the first federally sponsored mental hospital in the country, according to its web site.

The U.S. Coast Guard will be the first element of the DHS to move into the new building in 2011, department Spokesman Larry Orluskie told United Press International.

The DHS’s headquarters functions will follow in 2013, and the other components slated for centralization will move in after that.

It somehow seems fitting that the Department of Homeland Security, based on a loony premise, should move into a loony bin. I guess they’re going there to have a ready pool of administrative talent, but whatever the reason, I can’t think of a more fitting place for them.

Did Tampa used to be the site of one big huge insane asylum?????

(more on this later today, if I cut the time out?)

Honestly, who KNEW that most of the Tampa county/city employees were Nazis in disguise? I feel so naive ...

And Joe Redner lost. That's just depressing. It makes me MORE SURE that the voting in Tampa has long long long been dishonest. Nothing against Gwen but every black person I spoke with (and that's alot) was voting for Joe. WHAT does that tell you? No one was her cheerleader except for the usual (Tampa Police, Tampa Firemen, West Coast Police Benevolent ASS.) AND I think but am not positive that there were more votes cast in this race than in the pseudo-mayoral race we held earlier in the month. It's so plain: The voters have NOT spoken. It doen't matter how you vote, it matters how it's counted. I have no personal stake in Joe or Gwen. But I felt comfortable with Joe having been around him so many times carrying on with what I feel is important in life. Never saw Gwen there. Poor Tampa. More of the same .. well, I really have no time but DEEP SOMETHING has tons to read. This is my week for high-liting people with alot of important things to say, I guess.

Buddy Johnson will be the next mayor, I bet.

(and here my good friend intoned: over my dead body) I agree but it would follow suit.
