BIRDBRAIN IDEA?
Uncle Sam is ruffling some feathers among poultry farmers.
Chicken coops may be the next skirmish in the war on terror if the Department of Homeland Security labels propane gas, used to heat the coops, as a "chemical of interest."
The farmers are crying fowl over the security proposal that would require anyone with 7,500 pounds or more of the gas to register with the agency.
The proposal comes after British police uncovered a terrorist plot in London that involved two Mercedes loaded with nails packed around canisters of propane set to detonate.
As Foghorn Leghorn would say, "What's the ... I say, what's the big deal, son?" Register, already!
Heck, if the government is that worried about gas, the department also might want to consider requiring the same for pizza-eating, beer-drinking keg partiers.
