At least that is what went through my head when I heard on the radio news of Homeland Security releasing thousands of undocumented incarcerated. I could just picture Obama, after watching the Republican leadership leave his Oval Office in an arrogant snit refusing to deal on the sequester... pick up the phone and calling the Director of Homeland Security saying "Release the Hordes".

And I had to laugh, picturing the apoplectic exhortions of Fox News, went home and found this:

1. Get your guns out!

I was actually told that by someone I used to think was pretty smart.

This country is full of idiots.

2. I suspect BS, actually.

Napolitano told Mikulski that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would not be able to sustain current detention and removal operations or maintain the 34,000 detention beds mandated by Congress. This would significantly roll back progress that resulted in record-high removals.

There is no way that the private prison industry which gets paid huge bucks for keeping immigrants under lock and key would get their contracts damaged.

While the Border Patrol and Dept of teh Fuherland security have publicized immigrant removal, the truth is that before anyone is taken across the border, they are first locked up for various reasons, if only to have paperwork brought up to date.
And private prison industry rapidly developed, in part, to handle the immigrants.

4. In this disgraceful state where our governance has been reduced to a chess game........

Who can guess whose 'move' this was. Who can tell who gains by turning loose the hordes.
Can the 'Orange Bishop' convince his followers that the 'Black Knight' is to blame for this 'treason'?
Are 'Those Of The Light' trying to show that government can be useful? Are they trying to show that their are things we depend on?

"Haven't you heard it's a battle of words the poster bearer cried"

This may sound silly but even our sudden internist in 'Horse Roast' comes into question.
Is the 'Orange Bishop' saying that the FDA does no good and should be defunded to reduce the deficit?
Are 'Those Of The Light' trying to prove that road kill is the austerity menu?

One thing is sure......

"For want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died."

And so may our nation.

2014, Get the vermin out of the house.
End the republican menance.
