Help Rename the Department of Homeland Security

Posted by samzenpus on from the department-of-silly-claims dept.

Hugh Pickens writes "James Fallows writes tongue in cheek that U.S. Department of Fear, led by Secretary of Fear Malcolm P. Stag III, is running a poll. To what should we re-name the Department of Homeland Security? 'Possibilities include Department of ScaredyCatLand Security, reflecting the prevailing mentality of an era, and Department of Fatherland Security, to make us sound strong,' writes Fallows. 'There are many more to choose from, plus you can write in your own nominees. But act now, because the polls close Tuesday.'"

    Have a squiggle logo and call it "The Department formerly known as Homeland Security".

    OK, so Prince (or whatever he's calling himself these days) might complain
