Dec 18th Denver Post ....

"The House was to consider late Monday an appropriations bill that includes $100 million to be divided between Denver and St. Paul, Minn., which is hosting the Republican National Convention.
Although appropriations requests already exist in both House and Senate bills, the budget process has been stymied in part by the Iraq war funding debate."
The key fact is that, like happens everytime, lots and lots of our taxpayer dollars will be shelled out to pay for 'security' at these two big infomercials for the two corporate parties.
Of course, this tax payer money will mainly be spent to make sure that most taxpayers can't get within shouting distance of those who run this country.
The weird part is that this is pretty much a done deal. There's no debate over this. No argument. It goes equally to the DNC and RNC cities, and the Republicans and the Democrats are in complete agreement that they need lots of fences and police in riot gear to keep any citizens far, far away from them. So its really just a matter of process before this just slides its way though the Congress the way most pork slides its way through our Congress.
So, why is the City of Denver whining so much about this? There's this bizarre little bit right at the end of the article.
"Meanwhile, Denver officials are concerned that if security funding isn’t locked in by year’s end, they will have to begin spending the millions necessary to prepare for the security effort."
Huh? If the security funding is locked in by year's end, then does this mean Denver won't spend the money they would be given?
I think that if you translate this sentence to English, what the author was really trying to say was that Denver is about to start spending millions of dollars at the start of the year to begin the work of making sure that citizens who want to petition their government for the redress of grievences at next year's DNC don't get anywhere near their government. And that they'd like to have the Feds give them the money now so the City of Denver doesn't have use its own lunch money to pay for getting ready to oppress some concerned American citizens.
Anyways, when you see the DPD and all their friends at the DNC next year, expect them all to have lots and lots of new toys. There's some great lines that could be used about Congressional pork and the police, but I'll leave them to the readers imagination.
