The DEA is about as useful as an appendix. It and the rest of the thugs participating in the so called war on drugs do much more harm than good to the citizens of the US and its dependent countries.
They could, if we must allow them to continue to exist, make themselves a little more useful if they focused their efforts on a real problem. Something that kills 5 million people a year world wide.
Are any of you tired of hearing whining cries of voter fraud every time there is an election?
Some US dems raised the cry after the recent presidential election and it certainly isn’t something that is limited to the US as this plaint about Sunday’s election in the Ukraine highlights and Google currently lists 388,000 entries for “voter fraud.”
It seems to me that if we dramatically reduced the power currently vested in these elected positions we would simultaneously get rid of the voter fraud issue. After all, who would want the positions if they wield no power and who would care who held these powerless positions.

All you cat bloggers out there will be disappointed to learn that cats finished 3rd in Google’s October listing of the most popular animal searches. Dogs were first followed closely by dragons. Cats were far behind and barely edged out puppies and horses. So why do I find so few dogs and dragons for the Friday Ark?
For the politically inclined In October kerry beat bush in the category of popular news queries (though bush currently leads kerry by about 3.6 million Google listings)
For more interesting Google search stuff check out the Google Zeitgeist.

Cats, Dogs, Spiders and ? every Friday.
I’ll post links to sites that have Friday (or shortly thereafter) photos of their chosen animals as I see them (no photoshops and no humans).
Leave a comment or trackback to this post and I’ll add yours to the list. If there is interest I’ll keep this as a weekly feature.
