Janet Napolitano, the head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security claimed, earlier this week, that "most" terrorists come from Canada, and furthermore believes that the 9/11 hijackers came from Canada.

Addressing a question on the different security challenges facing the U.S. on its borders with Canada and Mexico, Napolitano said terrorists entering America have come mostly from Canada.

"To the extent that terrorists have come into our country, or suspected or known terrorists have entered our country across a border, it's been across the Canadian border," Napolitano told the CBC. Asked if she was referring to the 9/11 attackers, Napolitano replied: "Not just those, but others as well."


This is partial justification for the DHS policy to treat the Canadian border exactly the same as the Mexican border. You know, all that propaganda about the "world's longest undefended border" is pretty much drying up, I think.

Today...

While I was trying to come up with a quip that provided a suitably semiotic fusion of West Side Story and Zegfield Follies, [livejournal.com profile] commanderteddog simply said:
"Waaaarriors! Come out to plaaaaaaay!"

Other photos from the day:

I also tried to come up with something about George Will and the denim thing, or about how "The last time I saw a pantless woman on Yonge street, she didn't have virgin written all over her!" But the Warriors thing won the day.


Horsies!


Very lazy demolition on Church Street. When they tore down the building to make the parking lot, they left the interior plaster and wall paint as a sort of shadow of the former building.


A hearse for midgets.
