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

Are you posting to yourself again, Irish?
No, I'm not posting to anyone in particular....
;)
Do you think anyone is too particular to respond?
I thought Anyone In Particular had been banned or suspended?
anyone can get banned!! :P
You did... I dunno about anyone...
I'm outta here for a while!
See ya in a bit...;o]
See ya in a bit...;o]
As long as someone is around....
I'm someone...Howya, IT!
I'm just Me!!
Howya KAC!!
I'm enjoying some multiple personalities.
But it's okay! I''m saving a bundle on income taxes, now that I have more deductions.
Multiple personalities? Time for those voices to be quiet!!
Yeah, but they all agree with me!
This somehow seems fitting:
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it
He said I'd be better dead than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along
That he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought
I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment
But I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type
That was most inclined
When out of his sight
To be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts
No more ifs or ands or buts
They say as a child
I appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happening
I knew I was a genius...
What's so strange when you know
That you're a wizard at three
I knew that this was meant to be
Now I heard little children
Were supposed to sleep tight
That's why I got into the vodka one night
My parents got frantic
Didn't know what to do
But I saw some crazy scenes
Before I came to
Now do you think I was crazy
I may have been only three
But I was swinging
They all laugh at angry young men
They all laugh at Edison
And also at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry
If they just couldn't understand
The idiomatic logic
That went on in my head
I had a brain
It was insane
Oh they used to laugh at me
When I refused to ride
On all those double decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top
My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
But I said dear doctor
I think that it's you instead
Because I have got a thing
That's unique and new
To prove it I'll have
The last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head
I got two
And you know two heads are better than one.
(ah, my favorite Joni Mitchell song....)
So you feels left out?
Somebody likes that song, but not everbody!
Howya, Me!
In honor of the moment a set of lyrics that are very, very much New Orleanian (Audubon Zoo is the big world class Zoo in New Orleans. Asked should be pronounced axed):
I went on up to the Audubon Zoo
And they only asked for you
They all asked for you
Well, even inquired about you
I went on up to the Audu'mon Zoo
And they all asked for you
The monkey's asked
The tiger's asked
And the elephant asked f'you, too
Chorus:
Bom-bom-bom, bom-bom
Ba-de-ba, da-bom-bom

Bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-ba-de-ba, bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom
Ba-de-ba-dom-bom-bom
I went on down
To the deep blue sea
And they only asked for you
I say, they all asked for you
Well, even inquired about ya
I went on down
To the deep blue sea
And they all asked for you
The dolphins asked
The whales asked
And the baracuda asked me, too
Bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-ba-de-ba, bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom
Ba-de-da-bom-bom-bom
'Red beans and rice'
'Pig lips'
Bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-ba-de-ba, bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom

Background chorus:
They all asked for you
They all asked for you
Everybody there
Wanna know where
They all asked for you
'You know what?'
They all asked for you
They all asked for you
Everybody there
Wanna know where
They all asked for you
I went on up to the big blue sky
and they all asked for you.
They all asked for you,
They even enquired about you.
I went on up to the big blue sky
and they all asked for you.
The robins asked,
the eagles asked,
and buzzards asked me too.
They all asked for you
They all asked for you
Everybody there
Wanna know where
They all asked for you
Scubbely, boobely, doobely
They all asked for you
They all asked for you
Everybody there
Wanna know where
They all asked for you
'Come on home!'

You're nobody til somebody loves you
You're nobody til somebody cares
You may be king, you may possess the world and it's gold
But gold won't bring you happiness when you're growing old
The world still is the same, you never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody til somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
The world still is the same, you never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
Well, you're nobody til somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
So, nobody changed his name to you when he started dating somebody?
