Yet traffic deaths are at record lows and miles driven are also lower

Good afternoon Bruce and Kip and welcome to FDL this afternoon.

Kip, I have not read your book so forgive me if you answer this but why does so much of the effort by TSA seem to be more Security Theater than actual steps that protect people?

Case in point, I spent most of 2002 traveling each between St Louis to Albany, NY and back. For 6 weeks in a row, as I was leaving Albany on Friday afternoon, I would be pulled aside a the gate for extra searches. I know TSA was trying to be ‘random’ but after the 4th week, the TSA folks were just shaking their heads and recognizing that it was more theater seemingly than actual protection.

Is the show supposed to make us feel safer or feel better? If so, it isn’t working…

You’ve got to love an adult who is unafraid to learn from children.

I still remember how roundly Jimmy Carter was mocked for daring to quote his daughter Amy on the need for nuclear disarmament.

I live in Florida, about 30 miles south of Tampa. Yesterday morning, the odor of the fire was very strong – so strong that I was looking for it in my own neighborhood. The local cable news channel said it was from fires west of Jacksonville – more than 200 miles

It’s pretty clear that the special prosectuor is acting on specific instructions from attorney general Holder and president Obama to charge Zimmerman with something with the word “murder” in it to appease their base. She knows she can’t get a conviction, but wants to prevent rioting

Except the special prosecutor is a Republican elected official from [...]

Thanks! Route 66 is one of those songs that has been covered by groups/artists all across the music spectrum (I did a Saturday Art diary about the author a couple of years ago). I remember Ramblin’ Rose as a song when it first came out because of a party at a camp grounds in the woods [...]

There are no birthdays today of any musicians that I’m all that familiar with (yeah, I’m an old f*rt so what’s your point?) so switching up a bit for Today in History where Nat King Cole was attacked on stage in Birmingham, AL by segregationists.

Yes, those “I.O.Us” are called Special U.S. Treasury bonds. And they get redeemed in the same way as all the other US Treasury bonds, including those bonds held by banks and other governments around the world. So, by your logic, paying China and Japan or Bank of America or JP Morgan Chase or the Royal [...]

That is an apparent quirk in the system for cross posts within FDL until comments are actually posted…

I am making my responses here because, for some very weird reason I am unable to comment in the article itself.

Not a “weird” reason at all. Comments on diaries close after a period of time – I think 3 days or so. Since you posted your interview diary nearly five full days ago, the time for [...]

Now Dean, surely you remember when the late Deborah Howell was the WaPo0 OmsBud Person – when people would point out errors of fact in various columns, she kept repeating that it wasn’t the Po0 policy to fact check a column that since it was opinion, it was OK to lie like rugs
