We think he's Flash Gordon - all in red with yellow lightning bolts on his head. Hee!

The Flash, not Flash Gordon. This same person ran the Boston Marathon two years ago! He wore his race-number over his crotch, in case we wouldn't be able to tell he was a college student in his spare time.

Doyle gave the undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old girl his office phone number and his government-issued cell phone number

Because he really really wanted to impress her?

I have to share this. I asked my daughter, who IS 14, if this would impress any of her or any of her classmates. First she said that about half of her class wouldn't even know what the DHS was and wouldn't even be impressed if he was the Deputy Press Sec to Bush; and that the other half would laugh and laugh at this guy, show all their friends everything he sent, post it on their blogs and basically be as mean as they could while stringing the guy along for the "fun of it". She said that if it was her, he wouldn't have bothered to follow up on the first contact because she would be telling him about how crappy DHS was in the first place, how they screwed up on Katrina, killed people, etc. My daughter, I think I'll keep her!

Allyson a trip up the coast is a beautiful drive.

EtA: HA! The Flash! That would make an awesome picture.

Dawn, your daughter is both awesome and awe-inspiring.

Huh, hadn't been paying attention that Doyle story. I know his boss.

Gives me mad hope for the future, that does. Maybe I *will* have kids... well, not *tomorrow* or anything. But I won't take it off the list.

That's very cool, Dawn.

I have bruises on my inner thighs and I'm wearing sheer hose and a short skirt. It feel weirds.

Ah, well. Such are the wages of krav.

Thanks, JZ! I'm constantly surprised by her. I expected her to give me the *eyroll* and "moooom, I know not to give my personal info out on the internet" speech. I was surprised that she admitted that her friends/classmates are really as mean as I suspected they were.

Eta: Thanks everybody, too! Stupid work making me do ...work!

Ben & Jerry's may have made a bad marketing decision of they want to sell this in Ireland

I know his boss.

So, you think he'll get fired?

Go Dawn's cool daughter.

ita, I have a friend who makes custom clothing - perhaps you should pimp his services at krav?
