    Um, the numbers don’t seem to work on that first story.

    Nationwide sweep, 70 cities.

    150 arrests? 105 kids freed?

    On average, that’s a little more than two arrests per city and less than two kids per city.

    I’m not saying there might not be a problem. But this story is certainly saying that the FedGovs don’t have any idea where to look for it.

    Alyson by all accounts I’ve heard has the filthiest sense of hunor and levelest head of the whole Buffy alumni.

    I’m going on the hope it’s the start of the op. After all Holder and Barry Tray-Tray weren’t about to let them START in DC…
