Today's Top Ten List of Current American Fallacies

1. Michael Chertoff's Department of Homeland Security is a Useless Bureacracy...

While Chertoff's performance as head of FEMA during hurricane Katrina may not have been expedient, the United States has not seen another terrorist attack on our native soil since September 11, 2001.

2. Only the Maritime Industry Has Been Strengthened in Terms of National Security...

Anyone who flies knows the aviation industry effectively has tightened security. How can these precautions at airports (including confiscation of objects, gels, and liquids) be construed as non-existent?

3. Scientists shouldn't be worried about the huge cold spot found in the Cosmic Background Radiation field left
over from the Big Bang...

Anything a billion light years across that consists of "nothing" should be a concern

4. Scientists shouldn't be worried about Calvera, of the Magnificent Eight, recently discovered close to the earth...
Einstein proved neutron stars bend space time. Are we teetering on the Event Horizon until 2012?

5. A Reversal of Earth's Magnetic field is of no concern to the human race...

Isn't it a coincidence a graphic projection of earth's reversing magnetic field looks like the windings in an AC motor
or a huge mutated cancer cell?

6. Astronauts can't have sex in a diaper...

No further commentary needed.

7. JonBenet Ramsey, Natalie Hollaway, and Madeleine McCann are are living comfortably in Rio de Janero...

Let's hope Madeleine hasn't been shark food in Portugal.

8. John Mark Karr is living comfortably in Rio de Janero...

Conversely it is the citizens of Atlanta, Georgia that are concerned about Karr's marital history. His
first wives were fourteen and sixteen years old respectively when he married them, and he is engaged.

9. Norman Hsu is living comfortably in Rio de Janero...

It is unfortunate the democratic party didn't win the election in 2004, so his donations couldn't buy
him a presidential pardon for a felony theft indictment in l991. "Its a long road to Tipperary..."

10. "Scrubs" is a bad TV show...

It is refreshing to see something fresh, smart, and funny on television today.
