Not to go all Glenn Beck on yo ass, but the story about the Department of Education’s order for 27 Remington tactical shotguns (nice piece, but I’d also consider the Benelli M4) got me thinking: who else in our federal government is tooled-up for action? Here’s a list of Uncle Sam’s police from Wikipedia, with links for your dining and dancing (DANCE I TELL YOU! DANCE!) pleasure. Oh, and don’t worry too much about that overdue book: the Library of Congress Police ceased operations in October of 2009, absorbed by the Capitol Police.

I think since i have to take a urine test for the Feds or Obama seems like I work for the Feds I want to know where is my badge and all or some of the weapons that were listed I’m waiting for mine to get here so if anyone knows Obama let him know I’m still waiting for them so I need to know where I need to go to get my greedy hands on them
