Braying Jackass Of The Week

(Fox News) In a profanity-laced tirade, a Memphis DJ last week used an on-air interview to berate a local Republican congressional candidate -- calling her a "token negro" who is doing the bidding of "white folk."

DJ Thaddeus Matthews called Charlotte Bergmann, who is black, "stupid." He referred to her as a "curly-haired nigga." When she walked out of the interview, he refused to shake her hand, saying he didn't want to get her "whiteness" on him.

The outrage? The fury? In Memphis, you can hear the crickets.

Bergmann told FoxNews.com that, while the web video of the interview has gotten a lot of attention on blogs, local media are largely ignoring it. She said she hasn't gotten any calls from politicians about it. "No organization has spoken out," Bergmann said.

"The anger has been expressed throughout the nation, but not in my local ... area," she said.

As for her treatment on air, which she described as "racist" and abusive, she said it stems from the notion that black politicians should uniformly be Democrats.

Bergmann is running in Tennessee's 9th District, which is mostly black. The seat is currently held by Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen, whose office so far has not returned a request for comment on the radio interview.

Matthews has stood by the bulk of his comments. He told MyFoxMemphis.com on Thursday that he's apologized on air for the "whiteness" comment, but he defended the rest.

"I do not regret the content of what I said. In the anger of having another politician in my studio that knows absolutely nothing about nothing and gives me stupid answers, I don't regret that," he said. "Now the context of the whiteness rubbing off ... that part I do regret, that particular portion of the show. But the rest of everything I said, I meant exactly what I said."

It's unclear how the radio station management, at WPLX-AM 1180, is handling the incident, but the owner of the broadcasting company apparently has issued an apology. Bergmann said the owner, William Pollack, called her Wednesday to apologize. She also provided a written apology under Pollack's name, which expressed regret for the "ill treatment" on air.

"I was unaware of the horrific treatment of you until today. I have personally met with Matthews and will assure you this situation is receiving our complete attention," the statement said, adding that he "personally supported" Bergmann in 2010 and will do so again.

Bergmann eventually walked out of the interview, which was conducted last Tuesday.

But for the first 12 minutes, Matthews repeatedly challenged her loyalty to black people.

Matthews started by asking about her affiliation with the Tea Party.

He accused her of evading the question, later asking, "Are you a token of white folk? And white folk using you to come against black folk?"

After she started to respond, Matthews interrupted, saying: "Damn, Ms. Bergmann, shut up for a moment. OK, shut up for a moment, because you shucking and jiving."

The confrontational interview continued as he challenged her on plans to help the black community. "All I see in you is another token negro," he said, likening her to former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.

After several minutes, the DJ threatened to cut off her microphone and throw her out of the studio. "I'm so sick of your sh-, yourself, and I'm about to put your ass up outta here," he said. "You are a token negro that white folk have control over."

Eventually, Bergmann said "we have a failure to communicate" and left the studio.

Matthews continued to berate the congressional candidate.

"Get up and get your ass up outta here. Get your stupid, ignorant ass up outta my studio," he said.

As she left, Bergmann held out her hand to the DJ.

"I don't need to shake your hand," he told her. "I'm scared because some of that whiteness might rub off on me."

Occupy PGA Tour

I am a card carrying, lifetime member of golf's 99%. I play golf, but have not yet made it to the professional level.

I have played the game for over 50 years, but have not really put in the practice time and study to be the best. I also probably do not have the skills to really get there either.

However, I now feel that I should be paid by the successful professionals for trying. It isn't fair that those players who have worked harder, have studied the game, have better equipment and are stronger and more skilled should make all that money.

Oh sure, they have their charities that they give millions of dollars to, but I am sure that they write all that off on their tax returns to reduce paying their fair share. Is that fair?

They should pay for my golf, buy me new equipment and pay me some of their winnings. The whole system should be changed to accommodate people like me!

Let's occupy a golf course [Some place warm and near a beach] and demand that those who are better at what they do pay for us who aren't as good. Whining should get us something, like media attention and sympathy from liberals!!

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot.

Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."
Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven." The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, and I didn't land."

While taxiing at London's Gatwick Airport, the crew of a U.S. Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727.
An irate female ground controller lashed out at the U.S. Air crew, screaming: "U.S. Air 2771, where the hell are you going?! I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and D, but get it right!!"
Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: "God! Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour, and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?"
"Yes, ma'am," the humbled crew responded.
Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent after the verbal bashing of U.S. Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller in her current state of mind.
Tension in every cockpit out around Gatwick was definitely running high.
Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?"

Every day, a male employee walks up very close to a female co-worker at the coffee machine. He stops, inhales quite deeply and says that her hair smells nice.

After a week of this, the woman can't stand it anymore. She takes her issue to a supervisor in Human Resources and asks to file a Sexual Harassment grievance against the guy.

The supervisor is puzzled and asks, "What's threatening about a co-worker telling you your hair smells nice?"

"It's Frank. The midget."

If my body was a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ....

But that's not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close

My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.

It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.

It Seemed Like A Good Idea

(Herald Express) POLICE fined a woman on the spot when they discovered she had invented a burglary claim.

The middle-aged Paignton woman had claimed her 52ins flatscreen TV had been stolen.

She told police that burglars had taken the television out through the lounge window.

But when police measured the window, they found it was smaller than the flat screen TV.

Detectives went back to the house with a search warrant and found the television hidden under an upstairs bed.

Det Insp Nick Wilden, the head of Torbay police, warned that fraudulent reports of crimes were treated very seriously.

He said: "When we looked into this allegation we discovered the window was smaller than the TV.

"We sent two detectives back to see her and the TV was found upstairs hidden under the bed.

"She was issued with an £80 fixed-penalty fine for wasting police time.

"She was lucky. She was a woman in her 40s, of previous good character and that's why she wasn't arrested for perverting the course of justice.

"When you report a burglary you sign a declaration to confirm that a crime has happened.

"We do have a small proportion of crimes that are fraudulently reported — whether to get a crisis loan from the council or to fake an insurance claim.

"We will take it very seriously because it ties up valuable resources and wastes police time."

Buying a Fishing Rod

A woman goes into Cabela's to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's birthday. She doesn't know which one to get, so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter.

The clerk was standing behind the counter wearing dark shades. She says to him, "Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?"

He says, "Ma'am, I'm completely blind; but if you'll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes."

She doesn't believe him but drops it on the counter anyway.

He says, "That's a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-LB. Test line. It's a good all-around combination, and it's on sale this week for only $20.00."

She says, "It's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I'll take it!"

As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor.

"Oh, that sounds like a Master Card," he says.

She bends down to pick it up and accidentally farts. At first she is really embarrassed, but then realizes there is no way the blind clerk could tell it was her who tooted. Being blind, he wouldn't know that she was the only person around?

The man rings up the sale and says, "That'll be $34.50 please."

The woman is totally confused by this and asks, "Didn't you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for $20.00? How did you get $34.50?"

He replies, "Yes, ma'am. The rod and reel is $20.00, but the Duck Call is $11.00, and the Catfish Bait is $3.50."

She paid it and left without saying a word.

"Get Me Art Bell, STAT!"
ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP/KMOX) — It's a puzzling phenomenon: On one street in St. Charles County, garage door openers have stopped working.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that no one knows what exactly is going on at Westhampton View Court. The garage door openers at all five homes on the court stopped working shortly after Christmas.

"It's a weird, weird thing," Joe Sullivan told the Post-Dispatch. "And the timing for it all to go haywire for everybody at the same time can't be coincidence, right?"

Garage door companies say interference problems are common at individual homes — they blame what is known as "frequency pollution." But experts say having the issue extend to multiple homes is just plain weird.

"There is so much radio frequency pollution now," Butch Martin, owner of Martin Door Co., told the paper. "Everything is wireless, and the more wireless stuff we get, the bigger the problem is going to get."

The Post-Dispatch reports that the Westhampton View Court residents filed complaints with the Federal Communications Commission over the issue. There is no word on how long it will take the FCC to conduct an investigation.

There's Something Fishy About This
(Daily Mail) Essential work on planned reservoirs in Zimbabwe has stopped because mermaids have been hounding workers away, according to the country's Water Resources Minister.

Samuel Sipepa Nkomo told a Zimbabwean parliamentary committee that terrified workers are refusing to return to the sites, near the towns of Gokwe and Mutare.

Minister Nkomo said the only way to solve the problem was to brew traditional beer and carry out any rites to appease the spirits.

'All the officers I have sent have vowed not to go back there', Minister Nkomo was reported as saying in Zimbabwe's state-approved Herald newspaper.

Mermaids are mythological water creatures with a female body twinned with the tail of a fish.

Opinion about the existence of mermaids varies throughout Zimbabwe - some people are skeptical, but some firmly believe that mermaids exist in Zimbabwe.

Dating back centuries, many mermaid stories continue to make their rounds in Zimbabwe.

One tale says mermaids carry humans underwater, but if there is a public outcry their relatives might never see them again.

But another tale suggests victims can return as spirit mediums if their disappearance is not mourned.

The senior politician said that mermaids were also present in other reservoirs.

'We even hired whites thinking that our boys did not want to work but they also returned saying they would not return to work there again,' he added.

The two, long overdue reservoirs are considered essential if Zimbabwe is provide adequate water to its population and to boost its agricultural production.

Having once been the 'bread basket' of Southern Africa, the country's farms have been laid low by lack of faith in government policy.

From 2000, President Robert Mugabe expropriated some 4,000 white owned farms and gave them to politically connected blacks.

Partly as a result, agricultural production is this year forecast to be at its second lowest level since Zimbabwe achieved independence from Britain in 1980.

The belief in mermaids and other mythical creatures is widespread in the country, where many people combine a Christian faith with traditional beliefs.

PIGish Humor
His name was Bubba, he was from South Carolina and he walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Paris for an international redneck festival for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the bank.

The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Redneck produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest.

Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Redneck from the south for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's private underground garage and parked it.

Two weeks later, the Redneck returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out on Dunn & Bradstreet and found that you are a Distinguished Alumni from the University of South Carolina , a highly sophisticated investor and multi-millionaire with real estate and financial interests all over the world. Your investments include a large number of wind turbines around Sweetwater, Texas . What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The good 'ole boy replied, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?"

Keep an eye on those southern boys.

Top Scams of 2011
(The Arizona Republic) Hundreds of thousands of people received e-mails suggesting that they are the subject of a Better Business Bureau complaint.

That, according to the Better Business Bureau, made it the "scam of the year" in the BBB's rankings of the top 10 scams of 2011.

According to the BBB, anyone who opens the e-mail to read the so-called complaint will unleash a malicious computer virus that can steal passwords and other personal information.

The nine other scams are:

Job scam: A host of online job sites offer hope to the unemployed. But many e-mails, websites and online applications are actually phishing scams that seek to steal your identity. Some of these companies even conduct interviews. Many will ask you to fill out credit-report information that include questions about bank accounts.

Sweepstakes and lottery scam: They claim you won money or a large prize, but in order to claim it you must provide a small amount of money. One such scam claimed to be from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg promising a $1 million prize. To verify a real contest, go directly to a company's home page.

Social media/online-dating scam: Messages on social-network sites appear to come from a friend. They can't wait for you to check out the latest viral video. But opening one of these can lead to downloading a worm that logs into your social-media account, sends similar messages to your friends, and searches for your personal data.

Home-improvement scam: They knock on your door and offer you a deal on services. Often, they identify a serious problem and say they can fix it for you at a much cheaper cost than you could get from another company. The BBB said the worst of these scammers show up after a natural disaster.

Check-cashing scam: The BBB warns that Craigslist and Western Union are used for for check-cashing scams. A buyer gives you a check for more than they owe and asks you to deposit it into your bank account and then send them the difference via Western Union. Several days later, the bank contacts you to tell you the check is no good.

Phishing scam: These scams are designed to steal your personal information through phone inquiries or by attacking your computer. One disguised itself as official communication from the National Automated Clearing House Association, which facilitates electronic transactions. The e-mail claims a transaction did not go through and asks you to click on a link.

Identity-theft scam: Some hotels are warning about a scam in which guests receive calls in the middle of the night purportedly from the desk clerk who needs to verify your credit information. Of course, it isn't the desk clerk.

Financial scam: Companies offer assistance with mortgages or debt relief with names and websites similar to legitimate ones. Many ask for up-front fees and don't offer any help.

Sales scam: Internet penny auctions are luring consumers with promises of valuable products far below retail price. What they don't tell you is that every bid is going to cost you as much as $1 and that if you don't win, you still lose your money.

Secularization
(Fox News) A Virginia lawmaker is calling on the Air Force to reverse a decision to remove a Latin reference to "God" from a logo after an atheist group complained.

Rep. Randy Forbes, (R-VA), said the Air Force removed the logo several weeks ago from the Rapid Capabilities Office. The patch included a line written in Latin that read, "Doing God's Work with Other People's Money."

But after the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers complained, Forbes said the line was rewritten in Latin to read, "Doing Miracles with Other People's Money."

Forbes, along with a bi-partisan group of 35 lawmakers, sent a letter to Air Force Secretary Michael Donley and Air Force Chief of Staff Norton Schwartz expressing concern over the decision to remove a non-religious reference to God.

"It is most egregious," Forbes told Fox News. "The Air Force is taking the tone that you can't even use the word 'God.'"

Forbes said his office contacted the Air Force and officials there confirmed that the logo had been changed after the atheist group complained.

A spokesman for the Air Force told Fox News they had received the letter and would investigate the claims.

Forbes said the removal of "God" is a "bridge too far in terms of the rights of men and women who serve in our services and their ability to express their faith."

"But the significance of this is what the Air Force is saying with this move – that the word 'God' – whether it has any reference to faith or not, can't be used in the Air Force," Forbes said.

He said the incident is one of several in recent months that have caused him to wonder if the military is cleansing itself of religious references.

The Miracle of Toilet Paper
Fresh from my shower, I stand in front of the mirror complaining to my husband that my breasts are too small. Instead of characteristically telling me it's not so, he uncharacteristically comes up with a suggestion.

"If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet Paper and rub it between them for a few seconds." Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and stand in front of the mirror, rubbing it between my breasts. "How long will this take?" I ask.

"They will grow larger over a period of years," my husband replies.

I stopped. "Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts every day will make my breasts larger over the years?"

Without missing a beat he says, "Worked for your butt didn't it?"

He's still alive, and with a great deal of therapy he may even walk again, although he will probably continue to take his meals through a straw. Stupid, stupid man.

Thursday
The Fighting Sioux Are Back

(Fox News) Riding a wave of public support, the University of North Dakota has resumed using its "Fighting Sioux" nickname despite threats of sanctions from NCAA officials and a looming legal fight that could end up in the U.S. Supreme Court.

"We realize the NCAA will likely place us back on sanction status immediately," said Grant Shaft, president of the state's Board of Higher Education.

Supporters of the nickname, which the NCAA regards as insensitive to Native Americans, are seeking a referendum on whether to restore a law repealed in November that required UND to keep the name. The school dropped the name when the law was repealed.

Shaft was joined in his defiance by the school president, Robert Kelley, who announced Wednesday that the 14,000-student public school's athletic teams will resume using the nickname. Kelly said the school decided to resume using the nickname and logo to respect the state's referendum process, which requires that the pro-nickname law be in effect while the state reviews the more than 17,000 signatures submitted to North Dakota's secretary of state on Tuesday.

"I want to reaffirm our respect for the laws of the state and the processes guaranteed under the North Dakota Constitution," Kelley's statement read.

Shaft told FoxNews.com his office plans to meet on Monday with North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, whom he expects will advise the board of its options. Shaft said the board is likely to join Stenehjem's bid for a declaratory position from the U.S. Supreme Court on the matter.

Liz Brocker, a spokeswoman for Stenehjem, declined to comment when reached by FoxNews.com.

Shaft told FoxNews.com he is concerned about potential sanctions from the governing body of college athletics.

"What we're most interested in is what we hear from the NCAA and the Big Sky Conference," Shaft told FoxNews.com.

Calls to NCAA officials seeking comment were not returned on Wednesday.

What A Pisser!

(Daily Mail) Green solution? Falcon Waterfree urinals do not flush and, therefore, conserve water

Students at a high school in Boca Raton, Florida, must step over rivers of urine and endure the stench of rancid waste after a plan to bring 'green' waterless urinals into bathrooms backfired.

School officials at Spanish River High School thought they had found an environmentally-friendly, cost-saving solution for their bathrooms when they installed Falcon Waterfree urinals in their boys bathrooms.

But with no water moving through the school's copper pipes to flush the urine into the sewer system, the waste produced noxious gases that ate through the metal, leaving leaky pipes that allowed urine to drip into walls and flow onto floors.

'It was pretty disgusting,' school board chairman Frank Barbieri told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

'The girls had to step over a river of urine. I could smell it as soon as I walked into the hallway.'

Now, the school district, which was hoping to save $100 a year in water costs for each waterless urinal, must pay $500,000 to repair the damage and replace the appliances with the traditional flush variety in four high schools.

Neither the school, nor Falcon Waterfree Technologies, the Los Angeles-based maker of the urinals, thought to check the pipes before installing the new urinals.

Instead of water, the company's urinals use disposables cartridges that trap urine odors. They use no water and the company claims the only maintained needed is regular cleaning and changing the cartridges four times a year.
Spanish River High School

Cleaning up: Officials are trying to get Spanish River High School back in shape after urine flowed through the halls

The company promises 'an odor-free restroom, clean pipes and zero water waste' on its website.

But officials admitted corrosive sewer gases ate away at the pipes causing urine to flow into the walls and trickle into the school, instead of into the sewer.

As for the company's odor-free claims: 'We're really concerned because we don't think it's a sanitary place for our children to be,' Mara Shapiro, president of the school's PTA told the Sun-Sentinel.

'The hallways reek.'

The school district is looking to Falcon to pay for the mess as they order 200 waterless urinals be replaced with water-efficient urinals.

A Boy's Understanding

I was eating lunch today with my 10 year old grandson when his mom asked him "What is tomorrow?" He said "It's President's Day"

She asked "What does that mean?" ... I was waiting for something
profound...

He said, "President's Day is when Obama steps out of the White House and if he sees his shadow, we have 2 more years of unemployment."

I almost choked on my iced tea...

Neal Boortz On The Blame Game

When George Bush as in the White House, the Democrats didn't have any problem blaming the president for any increase in gas prices. In fact, here's a look at what Nancy Pelosi had to say in 2008 …

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday blamed the "two oil men in the White House," President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, and their Republican allies in Congress for gas prices exceeding $4 a gallon.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, said multiple initiatives intended to lower high energy costs have passed the Democratically controlled House only to "run into a brick wall" in the Senate because they did not receive the 60 votes needed to overcome Republican filibusters.

"The price of oil is… is attributed to two oil men in the White House and their protectors in the United States Senate," Pelosi said in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

What she doesn't mention is how gas prices promptly fell to $1.60 by the end of 2008 – right about the time a wave of idiot voters elected Barack Obama -- and have been increasing ever since. In fact under Caesar Obammus January gas prices set a new record last month -- the most expensive January ever at U.S. gasoline pumps. Your pas at the pump averaged $3.37 in January. In 2010, January gasoline prices averaged just $2.71 a gallon. And experts predict that gas will be around $4 by this summer.

Who will the Democrats blame now that they don't have their two oil men in the White House? Remember – oil production on federally owned lands in the US is down … that's DOWN … by 40%. Deep water drilling rigs that used to work in the Gulf of Mexico now work off the coast of Africa and Brazil. And some Obama sycophant was telling us in the last election that Americans really needed to be paying the same for gas that they're paying in Europe.

None of Obama's past statements or actions to reduce oil production matter now. As gas prices go up they'll find a way to blame Bush or Wall Street. Ditzy Debbie G will be the first out of the chute.

Big Brother Has Eyes In The Sky

(Washington Times) Look! Up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's … a drone, and it's watching you. That's what privacy advocates fear from a bill Congress passed this week to make it easier for the government to fly unmanned spy planes in U.S. airspace.

The FAA Reauthorization Act, which President Obama is expected to sign, also orders the Federal Aviation Administration to develop regulations for the testing and licensing of commercial drones by 2015.

Privacy advocates say the measure will lead to widespread use of drones for electronic surveillance by police agencies across the country and eventually by private companies as well.

"There are serious policy questions on the horizon about privacy and surveillance, by both government agencies and commercial entities," said Steven Aftergood, who heads the Project on Government Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation also is "concerned about the implications for surveillance by government agencies," said attorney Jennifer Lynch.

The provision in the legislation is the fruit of "a huge push by lawmakers and the defense sector to expand the use of drones" in American airspace, she added.

According to some estimates, the commercial drone market in the United States could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars once the FAA clears their use.

The agency projects that 30,000 drones could be in the nation's skies by 2020.

The highest-profile use of drones by the United States has been in the CIA's armed Predator-drone program, which targets al Qaeda terrorist leaders. But the vast majority of U.S. drone missions, even in war zones, are flown for surveillance. Some drones are as small as model aircraft, while others have the wingspan of a full-size jet.

In Afghanistan, the U.S. use of drone surveillance has grown so rapidly that it has created a glut of video material to be analyzed.

The legislation would order the FAA, before the end of the year, to expedite the process through which it authorizes the use of drones by federal, state and local police and other agencies. The FAA currently issues certificates, which can cover multiple flights by more than one aircraft in a particular area, on a case-by-case basis.

The Department of Homeland Security is the only federal agency to discuss openly its use of drones in domestic airspace.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, an agency within the department, operates nine drones, variants of the CIA's feared Predator. The aircraft, which are flown remotely by a team of 80 fully qualified pilots, are used principally for border and counternarcotics surveillance under four long-term FAA certificates.

Officials say they can be used on a short-term basis for a variety of other public-safety and emergency-management missions if a separate certificate is issued for that mission.

"It's not all about surveillance," Mr. Aftergood said.

PIGish Comeback

In an recent interview, General Norman Schwarzkopf was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America.

His answer was classic Schwarzkopf. The General said, "I believe that forgiving them is God's function .... OUR job is to arrange the meeting."
