Now that Pope Benedict XVI has been elected, I hear that he is planning to dissolve the Vatican council in order to merge it with equivalent entities of some of the leadership within Islam. The plan would be to have two new religious orders created from the factions of Catholicism and Islam. One would be called "Islamic and Catholic Enlightenment" (or "ICE"), and the other would be called "Catholic and Biblical Philosophy" (or "CBP").
In the process, all priests will have to be cross-trained as Imams, and vice-versa. (The cross-training is expected to be accomplished over the course of a two-week session.) Because of expected budget problems, "Islamic and Catholic Enlightenment" will be expected to put a freeze on all hiring, training, travel, and cell phone usage for at least of couple of years. They may also have to carpool to church. It is also expected that many traditional areas of both Catholic and Islamic undertakings will be turned over to the Orthodox Jewish movement in Israel as well as the Church of Latter-day Saints. I heard Asa Hutchinson was on hand in Rome last week to talk about how this idea makes sense seeing as the two groups are "constantly tripping over each other" in their respective religious endeavors. If the U.S. Attorney gig doesn't work out for Michael Garcia, there might be an opening for him as a Spiritual Advisor.

No wonder the DHS has problems. It was a tragic mistake that has cost the taxpayers millions, and only marginally increased our national security. Each job affected, Immigration, Customs, Agriculture, etc. is fundamentally a complete career. Forcing recruits to learn 3 or 4 different jobs does not save us money. Those of us on the 'front lines', at the air, land and seaports know this. One face at the border is a sad joke. It took another couple of years to begin to force the real culprits together (CIA, FBI, DEA)and they're STILL not cooperating! Sometimes a 'divorce'is the best way to end a bad marriage. Well, let each agency do its job, have more staff meetings, and let the public be properly served by professionals, not officers who are inadequately trained/motivated.
