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

Good Morning, everyone!
It's quiet here. The housing construction site across the way is still, traffic is exceptionally light, and even the birds are quiet this morning.
Too quiet. Somebody must be thinking about some mischief.

Have a Happy 4th.

Someone ordered lots of wood for some
project or so it was rumored.
I sense a moderator plot.

It's a beautiful day. Somehow it reminds me of "Morning in America."
Makes me want to go out and invent Star Wars or something.

Well, we can take a wild trip or sumthing.
Can you see the horses pulling floats
down Main Street, all the kin folks
flying flag, store fronts festooned in flags
the young, the babies in mother's arms,
the gramma's and grandpas, cheering along the way
Ah, Independence Day in the USA!
Memories from images of a more genteel time
pies on the widows cooling for the picnic
kids aglow with anticipation of games with friends.
The old hounds running with the kids, free as the wind
the old swimming hole waiting for the kids to fall in
laughter, and heat and sweat beads on foreheads.
Those were times before me, but I did say from images
of old Saturday Evening Posts, and Norman Rockwell
we get to share a large part of yester year.

Independence?
The Lady holds a tablet. There is a date engraved.
July 4, 1776. A memo that we saved.
Within that page of History, we hold the American Rose.
Pressed by weight of moments, the album now we close,
To mark the beginning of Man’s finest striving,
Wherein heroes, villains, and events were arriving,
At a small town we call Philly, (That’s where we keep the bell.)
To speak their piece, and start a war, and put them all through Hell.
It was a needed moment. We had to take our place,
Among the giants of the earth, for Life stepped up the pace.
We had to shoulder burdens, that no one else could bear,
And send the finest of our land, to fix things ‘over there.’
The blood we shed has nourished the Freedom that we sowed,
And gave the homeland back ten-fold, all debts that we had owed.
Just to ensure survival of the plantings that we nourished.
We went back for a second time, to make sure that it flourished.
We thought that we could take a break, and live a private life,
Unburdened by the problems of the world and all its strife.
But this small world kept shrinking, and our moat gives no protection,
From enemies who should be friends, except for their infection.
We’ll need to cure their illness, whatever the cost may be,
Or we will not enjoy the life we have, a life of liberty.
It’s not enough to shine a light beside the door,
We have to go among them, and boost the ‘yearnings’ of the poor.

From, as Rush says, "The Grooveyard of forgotten hits."
It seemed appropriate for today.
