Really stupid people, get real results!

Ok, so I'm not one in the loop when it comes to smuggling drugs, illegal or Simpson like pharmaceuticals. But having read one or two newspapers in the last year or so, watched a bit of TV news, listened to talk radio and of course surfed the internet, I'm aware of one thing, our American neighbours are rather intent on watching their borders these days.

With the inauguration of George Bush for his second term this week, one would just assume that this would be a pretty heavily guarded week.

The border crossing between Canada and the USA in the Detroit/Windsor corridor, consisting of the Ambassador Bridge and of the course the tunnel, is the highest profile crossing and thus probably the most secure of the bunch. With the inauguration of George Bush for his second term this week, one would just assume that this would be an even more secure location than ever.

So to read that some would be entrepreneurs decided that this was the week to make their score and Detroit was the place to make the landing just makes one shake a head back and forth in amazement.

With the eyes of Homeland Security, US Customs, DEA and any other alphabet agency focused on the 49th parallel, our intrepid exporters chose Detroit as their gateway to the pot smokers of America. Needless to say, the operation didn't go as planned.

As Forrest Gump might put it, Stupid is, as stupid does!
