WASHINGTON, May 31 — After vowing to steer a greater share of antiterrorism money to the highest-risk communities, Department of Homeland Security officials on Wednesday announced 2006 grants that slashed money for New York and Washington 40 percent, while other cities including Omaha and Louisville, Ky., got a surge of new dollars.
Homeland security officials said the grants were a result of a more sophisticated evaluation process

Back with yer evil mind, I see...

(heh-heh-heh!)
It's been a while since my E-vill Twin was here...she made me post it. };o]
A friends nephew was becoming a priest. When they passed their courses, they had a dinner. Everyone was served their own platter of meat (a whole chicken), bowls of vegetables etc. The guy says, "I can't WAIT to see what "chastity" is"! Our friend said his nephew opted out eventually.
Excuses, excuses. Fire not far from you...so what do the crazy people in Southern Nevada name it? The Picnic!
Of course, two days ago in Southern Utah, they had a fire called the Busch Lite....The two fires needed to get together...then they could have had the Barbeque!
Actually, "The Picnic" is an area, not just the name of the fire.
It evidently merged with another one not too far from it. It's in the Spring Mountains, on the way to Pahrump.
No smoke here, though...I wonder why?...
I know exactly what "chastity" is, and I'd rather be in Philadelphia...;o]
Very little of what they do is logical.
You're right, they love our technology, but hate us.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
Is this one of the copies of the copies:

Most fire names really are named after area, particularly after they get past the initial attack stage.
Sometimes, they do change them for politcal reasons, or because the name can be taken rudely. Someone once named a fire the Dam fire because it started near a dam. That one got changed fast.
I have no doubt that the Busch Lite fire would have been renamed something more typical if they hadn't have gotten an handle on it. (Can you imagine how the state of Utah would feel if there were a major fire named after something alcoholic?
Once, one fire got named Ro, after someone's girlfriend. In Forest Service talk, RO is short for Regional Office, and the people in the RO were not pleased that someone in the field would name a fire after them!
I was told that none of the Information officers wanted to work at last week's Jackass fire. Noone wanted to be the guy answering the phone: "Jackass Fire Information!" A lot of people talking about it went out of their way to call it the Jackass Flats fire, although that was NOT its official name.
What I love is when they have multiple fires by the same name in the same state. So far, in California, there have been two Ridge fires already. One was part of the Sawtooth complex, and the other is now part of another complex.
There has even been a Sawtoooth fire this year.
That dinner wasn't exactly abstaining from gluttony. I think the guy pictured scantily clad dancing girls for the "chastity" dinner. LOL
Another thing - even though they are supposed to have beards, it's ok to shave them off in order to not not raise suspicion when plotting to kill infidels!!
There is a hill in Payson, just as you look towards the canyon, and it was named "Mary's Nipple" because there was a HUGE fir tree on the top that made the hill mound look exactly like its namesake.
About 10 years ago, a fire hit that ridge, and the tree is gone now. I have no clue what it has been re-named, though I'm sure the locals still call it Mary's Nipple.
There is also a mountain in AZ, outside of Gila Bend, named "Squaw T!t Peak." And another called "Sh!thouse Mountain."
Get out of town!
Is that a reminder, or what?
See? No logic. BUT! "A man MUST be dishonest." Straight from a Muslim's mouth...work with that. It helps understand what we're up against. And a lie to a Westerner is not considered a lie.
I didn't get to reading that thread yet, I was pinged, and I pinged in return - that passage is certainly more than a coincidence!
Not so much a reminder, but a sign!!
You know the Grand Tetons means the Big Titties (that's a pretty equivalent translation)...just sounds more elegant in French.
Just a little white lie, no harm done, they're just infidels!!
I never figured I'd be around for the end times....
What a shock.
Howdy Ms. How you doing.
Got a construction project in mind?
