Among the more bizarre comments we’ve seen in a while are the first few on H.R. 1467, The Safe and Secure America Act of 2009. The bill would extend provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 for 10 years. Serious stuff.

But that doesn’t mean that serious comments are always required. And these are definitely not serious. (Warning if you go to look at them: They use some offensive terms and names.)

The highlight?
