Jeffrey Goldberg, who wrote that article on airport security I posted a while back, is holding a contest: Can You Out-Lame the TSA?

He first quotes TSA head Kip Hawley's response to his article:

"Clever terrorists can use innovative ways to exploit vulnerabilities. But don't forget that most bombers are not, in fact, clever. Living bomb-makers are usually clever, but the person agreeing to carry it may not be super smart. Even if "all" we do is stop dumb terrorists, we are reducing risk."

"FEMA Administrator R. David Paulison said yesterday in a press conference that his agency is well-equipped to cope with the consequences of strong winds and heavy precipitation. `FEMA has been criticized for its performance during Hurricane Katrina, but I would like to point out that Katrina was a very big hurricane,' he said. 'Most storms, in fact, don't become hurricanes, and it is these storms that we will focus our efforts on.' Paulison went on to say that FEMA is also prepared to handle the after-effects of such moderate storms as minor flooding, downed tree branches, and missing cats."

Apparently the candy came first.

The show was created by The Walt Disney Company, and loosely inspired by the gummi bear candies

Ah, that must have been it. I really should listen to these podcasts in a more timely fashion.

I'm not too sure, I know he was at the Strip last week... but I guess it's already tomorrow now, and almost the day after tomorrow, so even if I had known... Oops.

You missed some sweet ball hockey tonight, doc.
