Well Duh!

Have you seen the Hotels.com commercials with Captain Obvious? He says that all you can eat at a hotel means you can eat all you want; that the hotel gym is short for gymnasium; that the hotel pool is usually filled with water.

I thought about Captain Obvious when I read that the Justice Department is expanding its definition of racial profiling to prohibit agents from considering religion or national origin in their investigations. The Department says this is necessary to address criticism from civil rights groups that say that particular attention has been paid to muslims in counterterrorism investigations and Latinos in immigration investigations.

Well, Duh! When the majority of the terrorist attacks in this country are a part of Jihad, why wouldn't we be looking at muslims? When the majority of illegals in this country are streaming across our southern border, why wouldn't we take a closer look at Latinos? 

I guess what this means is that if a skyscraper is blown up and the witnesses hear "Allah Akbar" just prior to the explosion, and there were in the vicinity at the time 5 people named Mohammed, 5 people named Abdul, and 5 people named Jones, they'll have to look at the Joneses first while the Abduls and the Mohammeds make their getaway. On the illegals, I guess it doesn't matter one way or the other -- they don't do anything about them anyway except tell them how to get food stamps and Obamacare.
