Anarchy of Biblical Proportions



"I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Democracy simply doesn't work."
-- Kent Brockman, award-winning journalist and host of TV's Eye on Springfield


Last Wednesday, four suicide bombers struck the London subway and a bus, killing more than fifty people.

In response, yesterday the Senate voted 96 to 1 to adopt a $31.9 billion spending plan for Homeland Security in the 2006 fiscal year that appropriates $100 million for transit security, which is $50 million less than in this year's budget.
