hellooooooooo, duck and cover. or, in other words, the bush administration now has a mascot to teach homeland security to little kids.

pet line from the Chicago Tribune article about the website:
"The spokeslion is Rex, a muscled, bandana-wearing mountain cat dressed in what looks to be a cross between safari clothes and lederhosen."
it's also curious, on the website itself, that it lumps terrorism in as a threat with hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, floods, fires, and earthquakes. i really don't know what to make of that. is it an innocent, strange juxtaposition, an unfortunate coincidence that resulted when FEMA was folded into homeland security? or, is it some insidious attempt to indoctrinate little kids that it's as certain that freedom-haters will try to blow good little americans up as it is that there will occasionally be hurricanes?
either way, we can say one thing for certain. rex the mountain lion looks like a moron.
