From the "You can't make this stuff up" file.

Apparently, the Heimatssicherheitsdienst (Department of Homeland Security, works better in the original German) is going to open its new headquarters in a former insane asylum. Somehow it fits.

$3 billion!!!!

Just how bleeping expensive are U-hauls in Washington. The lunatics aren't in the hall, they're in charge of the Homeland Security Department.

And your point is? People in DC spend this much on "snacks", according to Dave Barry.

I would have thought that the building would have been ready for immediate occupancy after slight repairs of the padded walls.

BB, your data must be a little stale. Didn't Dave Barry go on hiatus for "family reasons" a couple of years ago?

If only insanity could take a hiatus along with Mr. Barry....
