FINDING HUMOR IN “TIPS”


I gave some thought to deriving a humorous take on President George W. Bush’s proposed Terrorism Information and Prevention System, or TIPS, but the idea of “block committees” gave me such a bad case of the creeps that I couldn’t come up with anything that pleased me.


Fortunately, high-quality weblog The Truth Laid Bear did . . . and the article is hilarious. I won’t give away the details, but suffice it to say that it involves a loyal citizen using a touch-tone phone to file a report of suspicious activity with the federal government.


Don’t miss it.
