In a move that makes sense only in a parallel universe- the Department of Homeland Insecurity and Fear Mongering is cutting anti-terror funding to cities with high security concerns, like New York, Washington DC and Seattle (remember, before 911 there was a plot to blow up the Space Needle in 2000- not to mention we do have a large port).
“It doesn’t seem to make sense,” Bichsel said. “New York is down 40 percent? Washington? Again, the money is not following the threat level.”
It does make sense if you are trying to spread the moolah to your red state supporters.
Yeah, I just saw on the news this morning that Tampa, despite having a significant seaport and being the home base of our military’s antiterrorism whatever (not to mention the former professsor convicted of funding terrorists) is only receiving $8.6M from Homeland Insecurity… which puts us at the same funding level as… Omaha.
(hey does that include FEMA?)
I feel soooo much safer now.
not.
