New York Has No National Monuments or Icons

Posted by on June 2 at 12:06 PM

So says Homeland Security. At least the giant lava lamp in Soap Lake is on the protected list.

It did seem so unreal …

now the feds are saying it's because NY filed a bad application. because they faxed it rather than e-mailing it, they should be penalized and expect that a dirty bomb attack or some such thing would be their own fault for poor filing skills. they of course said they didn't like some of the plans in the application (so you did get it, eh?) as well.

i'd like to see the application filed by Nebraska that got $25 million to protect CARhenge from osama's evil hand. their filing techniques are unstoppable.

using "homeland security" to dole out cash to battleground house and senate races. dispicable.

Say, have they plugged that thing in yet?

The Bush Administration wants to take out that French bitch on Liberty Island itself.

Except for one small problem, Chops - according to the NY Times (okay, not always the most reliable source these days), NY state officials provided the media with a copy of a printed receipt from DHS verifying the application had been filed online!

Lying liars - caught again.

I was in Soap Lake all last weekend. The lava lamp's ground breaking was last Thursday.

totally agree, COMTE.

it's BS that a clerical mistake should result in a 40% cut in security funds.

double BS because that didn't even happen--it was filed correctly according to NY officials who have confirmation from DHS.

just another example of lying liars and evil misuse of power.

i hope the fuckers of middle'merca feel oh so safe from the evildoers out to get 'em.

meanwhile they cut Seattle's funds too - strange, I seem to recall al-Qaeda going thru Seattle at least twice to attack America, plus there's those ship containers filled with illegal immigrants and a few dirty bombs to think about ...

hilary _is_ going to win the senate seat in NY this year, so...of course NY will be "punished".

Unstoppable filing techniques!

I'm surprised blue Washington got any protection at all. When someone was telling me about this earlier, I wondered what the logic could have been, until someone said that the world's largest paint ball had received protection.

Sometimes you just have to laugh. And then you have to choke a bitch.

Hi ! Your site is very interesting. Thank you.
