R. J. Hillhouse, Ph.D., runs a great blog called “The Spy Who Billed Me.” She offers up this satirical take on the Twelve Days of Christmas. Excerpt:

Day Two. Two turtle doves. At the NSA, SAIC contractors discover a correlation between “partridge in a pear tree” and “two turtle doves.” The NSA notifies the CIA. CIA analysts who are new to the job due to high Agency turnover do not recognize the turtle-dove/partridge-in-a-pear-tree pattern, but speculate that the combination of phrases indicates that a terrorist plan may have gone operational. The White House is briefed.

True, the season has passed, but it’s still a must-read.
