President Bush spoke today to graduates of the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y. The president, which if I'm not mistaken is the first in history to visit the New York site used his time to adress Iran. Don't you think a few quotes, well wishes, and cheers would've did the job?

Senator Chuck Schumer is calling on the federal government to restore City anti-terror funds after credible sources warned against an attack in New York City using cyanide gas in the subway. The attack which was allegedly thwarted by the killing of Ayman al-Zawahri is described in a new book by author Ron Suskind "The One Percent Doctrine". The scary and chilling part is that the alleged attack was only 45 days away!

This doesn't sound like such a bad idea. New York City plans on building 2 state-of-the-art anti-terror boats. The boats will cost about $30 million, which will be deducted from the already anorexic anti-terror funds New York recieves. Officials plan on docking one of the boats in Staten Island, with the second one being undetermined. Brooklyn doesn't sound like a bad host for the boat...makes me feel safer.

It does not get any crazier than this. The Mayor of Jersey City, Jeremiah Healy, is crying foul after allegedly being roughed up by NJ police. Healy, who was walking out of a bar, and allegedly saw a couple arguing, tried to intervene, that's when police say he interfered with the investigation and proceeded to handcuff the mayor. He also claims that his wife was shoved to the ground, and cops also maced him...in both eyes! It is very clear and present danger, when a MAYOR uses the words "police brutality".

NJ Transit approves train to link New York City and Atlantic City.

If you've been wondering where Steven Seagal's been hiding...he's actually been on tour with his...jazz band?
