My brain is fried and I have nothing intelligent to add only that I second Cooper and Neva!

with a 40% cut of the funding provided the previous year, of course there’s not enough to protect even the most obvious of national icons in nyc.

i completely agree with you regarding the homeland security’s so-called “justification” for cutting the funds, as well. if the monies aren’t being spent well and/or wisely… HELP them. we already know where the terriorists want to attack. i’m quite certain they’ve demonstrated it on more than one occasion. they are obsessed with nyc and all it represents. but bush and co. could care less… you are OH SO CORRECT to evoke the words of that evil karl rove, because he IS the power behind the power. personally, i believe bush & co. are just achin’ to see another attack–it may be the only way to pump some life back into dubya’s approval ratings. (don’t even get me started on why i think they “allowed” 9/11 in the first place…)

it’s wrong. it’s all wrong. and i for one, am VERY READY and/or anxious for someone (anyone) to start the impeachment process.

great article/post! : D

I like your take on “pork barrel aid.” Homeland Security shouldn’t be politicized, but it is. Maybe there is always a bit of politics in security, but with this administration, it’s blatant.

No, no, noooooo; They didn't forget the Statue of Liberty. See, the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French and the French are our enemy. Remember??? (***said with extreme sarcasm***) Happy Saturday Pia.

Jackt of Sucky Blog (whose blog is anything but) actually wrote a very interesting and amusing, semi related post about certain kinds of “symbols”

I almost couldn’t believe when I read that this morning. It’s just… incomprehensible.

Glad you wrote about it. I figured you might.

I fear they have forgotten about most of what is important to the people who live here and who vote them into office. Now let’s get them out, and pressure and hold whoever we do vote in accountable.
