Nobody would believe you. Editors would eviscerate you for even suggesting the idea. And it's all true.
The Department of Homeland Security has decided on the perfect place for its headquarters: St. Elizabeth's Hospital, the District of Columbia's historic looney bin, originally known as the Government Hospital for the Insane.
Speaking as someone who was in the Pentagon on 9/11 and who has witnessed the crap commited in the name of "national security" since, it just doesn't get more perfect than that.

Date: 2009-04-08 01:28 am (UTC)On a strictly personal level, the worst part for me was dealing with some very strange relatives and friends who NEEDED me to IMMEDIATELY call and give them all the deets while they freaked about how they were gonna die. This was absolutely the last thing I wanted to deal with when I got home at 11 p.m. September 11 after committing to return to the PFAC at 6 a.m. I laughed off the messages, and would you believe it, the trolls got offended that I wasn't taking their danger (in western New Jersey and southern North Carolina, no less) seriously.
I think I'll stop there. I'm still related to some of them.
Hugs and smiles,
Jean Marie
