    Yummmmm.

    Mercury poisoning in the tuna! Yummm. Just what I wanted to stave off the flu. Rats under the bed fighting with the ants and roaches for the powdered milk, oatmeal, and sugar? How appetizing. What, no duct tape to fasten the cache to the floor? Our venerable secretary is slipping. Surely, he might have thought of duct tape, since we all have so much of it left over from the orange and red alerts.

    It's not surprising to see incompetence again, but it is surprising to see it presented so brazenly, only a short week after the Dubai Ports World debacle. Is the entire cabinet in a competition to see who can look the most incompetent?
