#2What's a watchdog? A lap dog you can wear like a watch? I suggest to call it "watch dog" then, just so it doesn't get confused with http://www.google.com/search?q=watchdog&tbm=isch

#3Didn't DHS also declare that 100 mile range from the border is basically Constitution-free? This is mighty convenient, as they can now search everyone like this within that 100 mile range.

#4So, remember a few months ago, when people like me were saying that the third parties are the only hope in America's democracy? Then a bunch of people said that Obama was worlds different from Romney, and that comparing Obama to Bush was lunacy.
I have to wonder what happens when those Obama supporters with left-wing sentiments read an article like this.

Are you making some kind of joke I don't understand? Also the image results it's giving me are all dogs that keep watch.

"watchdog" is slangy terminology for a consumer rights organization or an industry regulator. It's, like, a metaphor, man.
I don't know about the US but the term is commonly used in the UK.
(I suppose "watch dog" would be a dog that watches, or something that watches dogs, or, as you suggest, a dog that's somehow got something to do with wrist-mounted timepieces.)

That 100 mile range is from any boarder and coastline and covers most of the US population.

Just trying to say that some watchdogs do seem to behave more like a lap dog, including this one.
Making up "watch dog" as opposed to "watchdog" is only funny to me I guess, you have to conjure mental images of little people in suits being worn and flaunted like watches by slightly bigger people in suits for this to work :P If you squint just right it's hilarious, because it's accurate.
