Biscuit's working on learning optimism, so here's some good news for a change.

From December 22 NYT, "Big Cities Will Get More Antiterrorism Grants": "Responding to repeated calls from big-city mayors, the Department of Homeland Security is shifting a larger share of its annual $3.5 billion in antiterrorism grants to the nation's largest cities, allowing them to accelerate purchases of equipment and training needed to better defend against - or at least rapidly respond to - an attack."

About fucking time.
