Berit has always complained about the disparity in Federal Homeland Security spending per capita between New York State/City versus states that, logically, are a lot less likely to show up on a terrorist's list of top-drawer targets, and I quite agree with her.
And of course, with recent changes, even the "per capita" has pretty much gone out the window.
So when I read an article in the New York Times that details some of the high profile targets in Homeland Security's database, and was about to read it aloud to Berit, her first comment was, "Lemme guess, the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota?"
Uh, nope . . . not quite . . . even worse . . .
More likely targets than the Statue of Liberty?
Soon to make its way to this list . . . Lester's Diner in Bryan, OH, famous as the "home of the 14 ounce cup!"
(makes as much sense, especially if you throw in the Thursday Night "beans & weiners" special . . .)
Or maybe even the Moxie Festival in Lisbon Falls, ME, where I spent a few hours this past Saturday . . .
. . . because what this world needs is more MOXIE!
And when we've lost our Moxie, the terrorists have already won . . .
