Two Quick Thoughts

One: I can't tell the Left from the Right anymore. The Conservative answer to any economic situation is to cut taxes. In good times, you gotta cut taxes to reward investment. In bad times you gotta cut taxes to encourage investment. Okay. I get it, and so does Vladimir Putin. Yesterday he told the Russian people that the way out of their economic problems was, yes, tax cuts. Hmmmm. Vlad is a conservative or conservatives are really on Vlad's wavelength?

Two: A kid steals a small planer in Canada and flies it into the states. He is intercepted but our Air Force does nothing. The kid, running low on gas, lands on a highway.

So, I take off my shoes at the airport. They wand old ladies. But a private plane is allowed to penetrate our airspace for hours? The three most likely terrorist attacks here will be:
1. A private plane--flying out of a small airport and loaded with fuel and explosives crashing into a city or a stadium.
2. A coordinated multi-gunned attack with conventional weapons in several cities.
3. A cargo, passenger or container ship with a dirty bomb blowing up in a major port.
Homeland Security is a sick joke. We are all form and no substance. Letting this plane fly for hours indicates we are neither serious nor do we understand the will of those who want to harm us.
