Good morning all! It looks like a repeat of yesterday, except those who still have jobs will be going to work in it. Well, those or certain government employees anyway ...
On this date in 1947, President Truman signed the National Security Act, creating the Department of Defense, the National Security Council, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. _________________ I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather...

I like War Department better. If you're in the business of making war (and ending them) then being the War Department makes perfect sense.
Either that or we should rename the Water Department the Department of Liquid Delivery. _________________ I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather... Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car. |

I'm not sure they'd know what to do with it if they ever did. _________________ I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather... Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car. |

| Most people prefer the evil that they already know. The fear of the unknown is always worse. |
