Homeland Pork

Borealis has the scoop on the feds' rejections of Gov. Dorkowski's most egregious peaen for pork (i.e. the oh-so-necessary "homeland security" luxury jet). This one isn't just about Gov. Dorkowski playing games, though. This is just a small chapter in the ongoing saga of the Bush Administration's grossly inappropriate and foolhardy mishandling of homeland security generally.

This is a real issue - harbor and port security funding is laughably inadequate, security funding for chemical plants, nuclear power plants, and the water supplies of our major population centers is virtually non-existent ... the list goes on. Yet Bush's homeland security funding is nothing to him but another political tool - Colorado (an election battleground state) gets more money than New York; per capita funding for homeland security efforts in Montana outstrips that of NYC by 4:1 (thank goodness all of Ted Turner's buffalo will be safe ... wait, he's a Democrat ... mebbe give it to that Yogi Bear fella).

The man is just dead set on turning America into a Third World country ...
