At least the giant lava lamp in Soap Lake is on the protected list. It did seem so unreal ... (Via Modern Art Notes.)...

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.

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.

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.
