Ridge as Secretary of Homeland Security

[GarlicQueen]

Anyone else feeling reeeeeeeally nervous about this whole "Office of Homeland Security", let alone letting our now-former govenor of PA, Ridge, be the 1st Secretary?

My cousin Ed (retired Army) has been quoting "Nightwatch" speeches (B5) and singing old Nazi war songs all morning (I knew he watched the History Channel too much!)

Given that Ridge has shown little to no compassion to the poor or disabled in PA while Govenor and shelved a blue-ribbon study by a friend of mine on loan to the Dept of Education from the Corrections Department which showed that if PA spent just $500 dollars more per student per year on education, we could halve the prison population in PA in 10 years (Ridge became govenor, was given the study and said he'd rather build prisons and toss people into them because it was politically more attractive), I just don't feel good about ANY of this!
