I knew that the White House has been wasting homeland security money by distributing it as pork to areas that face little or no terrorist threat. But this is ridiculous.

A New York Times profile of the emptiest county in the country — Loving County, Texas — mentions that the county “landed $30,000 in antiterrorism money from the Department of Homeland Security to upgrade its emergency radio system.”

$30,000! For a county with approximately 70 people, that’s $428 per person. Does anyone actually think Al Qaeda is targeting Loving County?
