"Po-Po" is a slang term for "police."

Don't you mean "Pooh-Pooh" Get it right. Even us weak minded Southerners learned English.

Actually, due to an oversight in the state constitution, the Port of Seattle police are a supergovernmental organization with the right to strike down any portion of the state constitution, the U.S. constitution, and even the U.N. charter. They are permitted to use torture, confine anyone without access to counsel, and add ketchup to whatever they're served at Canlis.

Dale: That's a great question, especially since Port of Seattle officers were implicated in what's being called "E-gate." A persistent problem with the Port's operation is reliable oversight. In this case, the evidence certainly points to a work culture that accepts inappropriate email, and you do wonder if a sensitivity seminar -- even an online one! -- will change all that much.

So who polices the Port of Seattle Police? Is there some sort of pecking order involved? While the Port Police PC's are being checked maybe they should scan all employee's PC's -- I doubt it's the police only who have nasty stuff sent or opened.

I believe the Port police actually confiscated their own boxes. How awkward.

I wonder how they obtained the graphic evidence. Did the police department have to send them in an e-mail? (oh, the irony)
