Congressman Suggests Moat Around White House
November 21st, 2014I just finished reading, Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle, so I naturally have to suggest that the regime should build a trace italienne for itself.
By the way, I only recommend Wolf in White Van for older nerds who also enjoyed The Stranger by Albert Camus.
You’ll find yourself internally screaming, “Why!?”
If you need there to be an answer, look for a different novel.

Faced with an increasing number of White House intrusions that led to the resignation of a Secret Service director, a congressman on Wednesday suggested that maybe a moat should be erected around the president’s home.
The suggestion was made by Rep. Steve Cohen, a Tennessee Democrat, at a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
With hand gestures, Cohen suggested a moat roughly six-feet wide may be “attractive” and “effective.”
Joseph Clancy, the acting director of the Secret Service, didn’t dismiss the suggestion out of hand.
“Sir, it may be,” he said. Clancy said the Secret Service and the National Park Service were discussing ways to ensure security along with access to the White House for the American people.
