If you're a terrorist looking to get away for a break and you're considering a visit to the States then, according to those that run the nation, you're more likely to be vacationing in Omaha or Louisville than in New York. Apparently, as far as the Apple goes, there's nothing to do or see here and you would be hard pushed to find a national monument or anything of significant importance to target.
I thought my biggest hurdle, as far as apocalyptical scenarios went, was getting through Tuesday. Posters, billboards, the morning news - all pretty much guaranteed that June 6, 2006 would be the last diary entry that any of us would be making. I wore clean underwear and shaved. Imagine my surprise when I went to bed on Tuesday night and woke up on Wednesday morning. It would seem that Lucifer's chosen to outsource much of his work of late and who can blame him? He can afford to let 6/6/06 slip by because he knows that with the current administration at the helm all he need do is sit back and sip Bloody Marys. The latest brainwave out of Washington? To cut security funding to New York by 40%. Bloody brilliant. It's not as if I wasn't looking for suspicious characters on the subway before. How did they came to this decision? By ranking a region on how many national monuments or treasures it had. So how in Hades did New York see a cut in funding? Well, let's just say that the midterm elections are coming up and some of the places that saw an increase in spending are marginal seats for the Republicans.
But enough of my jibber-jabber, let me hand you over to the only purveyor of sense left here for a bit more on the subject. Mr Jon Stewart ladies and gentlemen...
