Believe it or not, there are some that would have a grand ole' book
burning
down on the Mall shouting "Hail Bush" if they were given any more power...

I think I will go buy me an almanac and go sit at O'Hare and read it.

If it were April first, it wouldn't have taken me a millisecond to start
smiling at this but, no, it's for real (or whatever passes for real in
TSA
land).

This from CNN:

"The FBI is warning police nationwide to be alert for people carrying
almanacs, cautioning that the popular reference books covering
everything
from abbreviations to weather trends could be used for terrorist
planning."

This from me:

All Americans are advised to wrap their heads in duct tape over a
several
layers of plastic sheeting in case terrorists jump out from behind lamp
posts and hit them over the head with large reference books.

Yeah, I know. The FBI is worried about the information in the books.
Do
you think they ever heard of the Internet?
