minor league baseball players and the families who host them are a clear and present danger to the republic and apple pie

It's bad enough having an incipient police state, where the Tsar I mean de facto President can have people (including American citizens) locked up indefinitely on his own say-so, without having to produce any evidence, and has authorized his military and intelligence agencies to torture people in the name of the American people.

But couldn't we at least have an INTELLIGENT police state? A lady in Virginia called Kim Gore who works for the Army is under investigation for hosting a bunch of young foreign men for a few months at a time in her house.

The foreign men? Minor league baseball players, from Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and the Netherlands Antilles, who play for the American-as-apple-pie Potomac Nationals.

"The Army said it is reviewing Gore because she had access to a secure computer network while working at home with foreign nationals living with her..." The Army wouldn't say more because it wants to protect Gore's privacy. Guffaw.

Seems Gore was allowed to work at home for three days because she was feeling bad from the treatment she was undergoing for breast cancer. But some bright bulb at Fort Belvoir with too much time and too little common sense read a profile in her hometown newspaper about Gore and her family hosting these young players in the news and began to worry that maybe she was dumb enough to let them look over her shoulder while she worked at home those three days in August.

Is this stupid or what? Or is the Army worried that the next group of Nationals minor leaguers could include a slugging centerfielder from Pyongyang and a slick double-play combo from the Tehran Ayatollahs?
