But Bismarck, North Dakota's Gonna Be Totally Protected

Since we're fighting them over there, we don't have to spend any money to fight them over here!

From Times Square and the Empire State Building to the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty, New York is a city of spectacular landmarks. Ask any of the 41 million tourists who visited last year.

But according to the Homeland Security Department, New York has no national monuments or icons _ a determination that led to a 40 percent cut in anti-terrorism funding.

The nation's biggest city, the one that was hit on September 11, loses anti-terrorism funding. The three cities cited in the article as receiving increases in funding are Jacksonville, Florida, Louisville, Kentucky, and Omaha, Nebraska, red cities in red states. This vindictive, petty crap has happened before, and it's happening again.
