Good news for anyone worried that Al Qaeda uses your community newsletter’s weekend calendar section to choose its targets: A report by the Department of Homeland Security’s own Inspector General found that “the department’s database of vulnerable critical infrastructure and key resources included an insect zoo, a bourbon festival, a bean fest and a kangaroo conservation center.” On the other hand, the database failed to list Times Square, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty as national icons or monuments.
Ouch! And I thought Edie Falco getting snubbed by the Emmys was bad. On the positive side, if you’re a kangaroo, you can breathe easy now. Unless you’re in New York City to see the sights.
