Thought for the day

So some members of the Secret Service has been caught with prostitutes while on a foreign visit with the President. I’ve given the Secret Service little thought, but now that I’m thinking about them, I have to wonder:  How secret are they really, since we know they exist? If they were really secret, we wouldn’t know they exist, right? (And since we do, isn’t it therefore the height of arrogance for them to be called the “Secret Service”? This reminds me, for similar reasons, of “the Moral Majority,” whose spokespeople are generally in the minority, and are frequently trundling off to prison with their pants down around their ankles.

Wouldn’t you think the Secret Service would keep their indiscretions, y’know, secret? So instead of the Secret Service I think we should hire ninjas. Whatever the peccadilloes of ninjas, we know nothing about them. All in all, they are far, far more secret.

    Some prominent member of the “Moral Majority” you mentioned recently opined that the scandal was the result of allowing gay people to serve in the Military.

    No further comment.

    And given everything else the federal government has to deal with, I’m sure everyone is wishing that they just paid the damn prostitute the extra $900.
