Considering that the Department of Homeland Security is supposed to take charge in the fight for securing the…uh…homeland, it’s a little disconcerting when the agency is left out of the “War On Terror” loop.

One of the great things about living in the San Francisco area is that you never have to wait very long for some ridiculous story to break wide open. In addition to the usual gayprideearthquakegoldengategodlesshaightstreethippie image that SF conveys to the rest of the country, you can now add the following: cops acting in porn […]
