Too funny. The D.E.A. has hired a company to improve its website and may include a blog.

[DEA] has also asked Adfero to create an interactive Web site that will include blogs and virtual tours of the museum. Right now, the only Web site that exists is a page about the museum on the DEA Web site. Plans to include a blog and a speaker's bureau are also under discussion.

If the Museum is news to you, here's more about it. If you want to see for yourself, go here.

    On top of the one that is the DEA, itself. Hell, even their own people don't think much of their own agency.

    (Oh, and if you hang around at this site, you'll eventually see how some DEA agents feel about Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, and women in general. They're quite open about their prejudices; nice to know we're paying these people's salaries with our hard-earned tax dollars, no?)

    What's really funny is the idea that DEA can somehow  polish its' image courtesy of a blog. Yeah, right. It was stoners who made the 'Net what it is today, not these bureaucratically hide-bound dweebs. They were left in the virtual dust fifteen years ago...and they know it. Playing catch-up now is just one more instance of how woefully out of touch they are.

    The DEA is just another of Tricky Dick's legacies that should have been buried with him long ago. It has proven itself, over three-plus decades, to be singularly ineffective at its' charter...as any organization charged with prosecuting a substance prohibition inevitably proves to be. It was meant to punish 'dirty f-ing hippies'. What it has done is kill innocent people. One more mad-dog agency in need of a bureaucratic bullet...

    I wonder if DEA will displace all the assets they've confiscated since the failed WoD and an accounting of how those assets where dispursed and how the funds were used.  Let's blog about that.

    A continuous source of material ripe for ridicule.
