MEANWHILE, BACK ON THE HOMEFRONT...

Whenever I dare to leave the friendly duct-taped confines of my home, I've noticed that the variable message signs on the Beltway now include the friendly and not at all Orwellian message "HEIGHTENED HOMELAND SECURITY ALERT -- REPORT TERRORISM," followed by an 800 number. I guess I'll give them a ring if I pass a car with personalized plates that read LUVSADDAM.

Meanwhile, at the office, we recently received this message.

> >Our front door is locked again. Please carry your side door card with you.
> >Our current policy dictates that we lock the [deleted] door when the threat code rises above yellow.

I guess if anthrax is going to come in, it's just going to have to knock.
