An excellent article, highlighted by [livejournal.com profile] vikingcat, including quotes from his papa, an eminent, and eminently sensible, policsci professor about the profitability of Homeland Security paranoia.

One of my pet peeves--since when did Americans ever refer to the US as our "homeland"? Is that the most ridiculously Soviet title ever?

An excellent article...but I doubt you meant to post it twice!

Homeland. That's far too close to fatherland for me...

I thought the very same thing. Homeland seems like a great name for someone who can't commit to Fatherland.
