I actually agree with the decision not to fund police overtime. I don't think having more cops on the streets of NYC is a good terrorist deterrent; I think it's good for when you want to crack down on, say, protestors during the Republican convention.

The real issue here, I think, is why didn't NYC spend the last allotment they got? That would seem to be the main reason the federal government doesn't want to give them more money.

Hey! You could work for the DHS.

And you're right about spending the last bunchof money NYC got. That's a good question. I'm still stymied as to why the feds don't have a better, more clear response to all of this. Of course the answer to that is that they don't need one. The corporate media let the story die and the Dems won't pick it up. It's classified after all.

  • "[O]ur time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice."

    Mr. President, we love America, not because of all of us have seen the beauty all the time.

    But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.

Marx


  • ''With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent will produce eagerness, 50 percent positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime which it will not scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged.''
