I just got back from a wake (friend's mom) and had a very interesting conversation with a gentleman who rose to the rank of Commander in the Coast Guard here in Boston and now consults with the government on security.

I really have to apologize for my previous erroneous statement that 5% of cargo is screened in our ports. I'm not one to make excuses, but that that was the number that's floated by the White House and the Press.

Really, I am sorry for my ignorance. the real #?

3%.


Now this fellow is as Right as you can get (father of a friend) and I've known him for years. When asked how much safer we are than before Sept. 11, he held his thumb and forefinger up with about a millimeter of space in between and said "this much."

George Bush, I salute you for making us 1 millimeter of air safer! good job buddy! and a big thank you for everyone on the Right who helped to get that 1 millimeter. good work!
