We are Safe 364 Days in all 57 States, thanks Homeland Security

Why do these foolish presidential appointees keep showing up to make insipid, silly comments? We have just been lucky for the most part, but the Muslims and Mexicans and Koreans will keep trying until they find a breach.
Michelle Malkin » Homeland Security Takes a Day Off
by Doug Powers • December 20, 2010

On ABC’s World News Tonight, Diane Sawyer talked with the Obama Administration’s national security team, including Janet “Swifty” Napolitano. The topic of discussion concerned possible terrorist attacks on or around Christmas (if you’ll forgive the expression).

I’ll sleep better tonight, because Napalitano reminded viewers that “thousands of people are working 24/7, 364 days a year to keep the American people safe.”

What’s the one day the DHS won’t be working? Napolitano’s not making it thateasy for would-be man-caused disaster initiators — she’s keeping them guessing.

Fear not, however — If the DHS takes a day off, America won’t be left completely unguarded. Why do you think J-Nap’s been recruiting Walmart shoppers?
