My wife is a tinfoil nutcase. She will be the first to agree with that. And she doesn't believe Bush and Cheney are going to go quietly into that good-night come January 20th.


Maybe she is a little off the rocker BUT when I see headlines that this. I have to start wondering.

Pentagon plans to station 20,000 troops for 'domestic security'

http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Pentagon_plans_to_station_20000_troops_1201.html

yes the article reads for 2011...BUT I remember hearing around election time that there was a Troop or two deployed for election purposes to make sure things are okay in case "riots" happened.

SO is my wife right to be a little nervous or is this just nothing to worry about?
