The evolution of D.H.S.. The real Department of Homeland Security, not the series. Talkingpointsmemo has a good refresher on the emergence of the DHS--who supported its creation, who opposed it, and who ultimately took credit. It's akin to telling your roommate that you ought to put some locks on the windows to your house, but your roommate tells you, "No, it's really not necessary, doing that wouldn't accomplish anything." And then some time later after you've been pushing for the locks, your roommate says, "You don't care about our safety. We should really put some locks on those windows. I'm the greatest!" And then all everyone in the neighborhood can talk about is how your roommate was so smart for installing those locks.
