Al Qaida hates Indiana, loves NYC!

For anyone who's worried about Al Qaida coming after you: Did you know that it's much safer for you to live in the crown of the statue of liberty than by your neighborhood donut shop?

Also, be sure you stay away from your local bean fest. Al Qaida apparently hates beans. You'd be much safer going to the top of the Empire State Building, apparently.

Y'know, our current leaders operate with such brazen ineptitude and thievery that it's almost as if they feel they don't have to worry about elections...

Gotta love that dry Indiana sense of humor...why is a popcorn farm on the list? "Maybe because it explodes."

Hoosiers are nothing if not thorough about the mundane. I'm proud of the fact that our painstaking list pointed out this new instance "Homeland Security" ineptitude.

What are you saying, that it's a GOOD thing to send the Homeland Security money to the middle of nowhere instead of where the high value targets are?

Maybe they'll add "Old McBuckett's Farm", too, eh?

I've heard (I don't know how accurate, but a friend of the Muslim faith confirms Something like it) says that a Muslim believes that if he or she is buried with a pig, his/her sould will go to hell. So, does this mean that the Pork Bellies market is going to go up? :)

Put pictures of a pig on every plane. Drop thousands of pigs in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Iran.

These pleasing porkers and our own pork barreling govt. would LOVE it! :)

(Yes, this IS* all said in Jest...)

LOL! Sorry, not buying it. Indiana shouldn't have more counter-terrorism funding than New York City or Washington DC, San Francisco, Chicago, etc. I don't care how much you prize your ant zoo, everyone else in the world realizes that's not as likely a target as the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building.

Look at the only "exposure of plans by authorities" recently. Where were they aimed at? The Sears Tower and the Holland Tunnel. Not Jim-Bob's Ant Farm.

...And by the way, before you go saying I'm prejudiced against Middle of Nowhere America, I live in Billings, Montana. And I'm not crying because our local donut shop didn't show up on that list. Hell, I'd rather have Al Qaida succeed at blowing up the Donut Hole here than bring down another high rise with thousands of people in New York or Chicago. That's where the money needs to be spent (and yes, it does need to be). It only went to Indiana because it's pork. Our leaders don't take this seriously, they only see it as a way to loot the treasury. We need serious people in charge to send resources where they need to be.

And who provides the bulk of the background information/expert opinions/analysis of current political climate to the various intelligence agencies? Right - American academia specializing in Middle Eastern studies. With programs began over the past two decades from? Money and direction provided by Saudi Wahabist interests.

Every country in the world tries to protect their interests in one way or another. What's your source of information? I'm always interested in finding sources--and sometimes I will find a source that contradicts. Not always, of course... but I'd love to know where the info is from!

While "Protecting one's interests" takes many forms, A lot of nations seem to think we are out to annihilate THEM. So, it works both ways, does it not? I'll see if I can find the time to check the information you've given me... Like I've said, I'm always interested in picking up new things.
