I feel safer already

A Homeland Security report exposes some rather skewed "potential target" data, and the great state of Indiana is at the top of the list of potential terrorist targets by state.

The National Asset Database, as it is known, is so flawed, the inspector general found, that as of January, Indiana, with 8,591 potential terrorist targets, had 50 percent more listed sites than New York (5,687) and more than twice as many as California (3,212), ranking the state the most target-rich place in the nation.

Now, Graf and I have always joked that we'd love it if "they just got rid of Indiana" during the drive from Chicago to Cleveland, but I never realized there was government funding studying the potential... Maybe it's all those fireworks stores? Casinos? KKK members? All those damned Amish?

Some other high-level targets inlcude:

• A petting zoo in Woodville, Ala.


• Mule Day Parade in Columbia, Tenn.


• “Nix’s Check Cashing”
(Ed. That's where MCA does all his "phony-paper-passin'")

• etc.
