Now that Osama bin Laden supposedly “sleeps wid da fishes,” I am wondering, like David Kramer, if Congress is going to repeal the Patriot Act, disband the TSA, and rid the world of porno scanners.

Fat chance. Instead, we are going to be told that “the world is even more dangerous than before,” which was the line the guvmint gave us after the U.S.S.R. and its Eastern European puppets had a “going out of business sale.” Of course, if bin Laden’s death makes the world more dangerous, perhaps they should have propped up his body “El Cid” style so we could be safer.
