"Let's begin tonight
right here in New York, New York. The city's so nice, it was attacked by
international terrorists twice. So naturally, last week, the Department of
Homeland Security announced a cut in anti-terrorism grants to New York and
Washington, D.C. by 40%. Now to some, cutting anti-terror money to the two
cities that have already suffered major terrorist attacks might sound, I don't
know, insane. So, if New York's funding is being slashed, where is all the
money going? Apparently, it's being used to boost the defense budgets of
terrorist hot spots like Charlotte, Louisville and Omaha, Nebraska. Apparently,
Homeland Security distributes the terror funds on the basis of what item your
city has the world's largest ball of. Now, I can understand the concern over
Omaha. That city is of course under constant threat from renowned Midwestern
terrorist Omaha bin Laden." --Jon Stewart
"Adding insult to
injury, one of the reasons New York's funding was cut is that, according to
Homeland Security's analysis of potential terror targets, the number of New
York's national icons and monuments is zero. In the report, the Brooklyn Bridge
-- the world's first steel wire suspension bridge -- was classified merely as a
'bridge.' The Empire State building is referred to simply as 'tall office
building.' And as for the Statue of Liberty, the Department of Homeland
Security has recently classified her as 'a giant, green water whore.'"
