Ban Pork and I'll Break Your Kneecaps

I'm not sure if the visitors to CNN.com just have a sense of humor or are really this inept, but there is currently a poll asking "Who would you rather have overseeing operations at US ports."

With over 50,000 voting:
36% Arab-based ports company
64% US-based Mafia

Well let me tell you something. Having Tony Sorprano running your ports might not be the best thing in the world, especially for all you law and order types. An Arab company running the ports is probably going to hire a much better US-based security force than any other company. Why? Because if anything happened on their watch, the fallout would be much more significant than what happened to the FBI on 9/11. The mafia is not going to do so much to protect the ports, just take some bribes and let everything go through.

The good news to letting the mafia in would be, the prices of drugs like marijuana and cocaine going down, so it would be cheaper to throw a decent party.
