    Actually, that's a good point. The Freedom Tower? Speaking of targets, it is going to look and sound like George W. Bush's middle finger. I think if my company decided to move into that building, I would start looking for another job.

    As a 21-year resident of Montana, let me say to you far-northeastern New York staters: you don't know from godforsaken.

    It's being replaced by a sign that says '50 Beautiful Girls & Three Ugly Ones'.

    The real danger would be if evil-doers rearranged the letters into something patently unAmerican.
    TASTEE NUDIST might be a little too welcoming.

    OK, I understood (that people are greedy) when Arkansas and many other states needed homeland security funds to protect their alligator farms and whatnot, but either there is some money involved here that I don't see (demolition crews getting a sweet contract?), or these people are idiots.

    If we can't have giant, shiny, yellow letters spelling out things, then the terrorists have really won.

    We should just fight back by playing a certain Tesla song really loudly over a buncha speakers.

    A friend works for the GSA. The DHS requirements for the border crossings are no doubt absurd (truck scanners for all the crossings), and there are something like 14 crossings in Maine alone. But the per square foot costs are rather low (under $125, if I recall), and the competition for these jobs was pretty heated. You don't get to ball park your fee or simply throw on an absurd percentage. You have to submit to an audit of your internal costs and are awarded a multiplier. The projects include an art component, which this sign might have been, but that comes from 'Percent for Art' legislation. Getting of these jobs is good for cash flow, but it's not like designing the Prada boutique.

    @ninety_nine: $125 seems really low. Maybe it includes the approach pavement?

    On that note, if someone were to take "hostage" the Buick-sized Orbit Orange espresso machine at El Beit and bring it to my apartment, I wouldn't be disappointed.

    Hey, if Lady Liberty is into kinky sex, that's her business. Liberty and all that. I just wish she'd have been more careful with who she trusts.
