It's a new year and all, but why is everyone in such a hurry to jettison the past?

    Re: Trashed, abolished, deleted, repealed and out of here

    Harry Reid is upset that Las Vegas has been dropped from the list of high-risk terror sites. Here in Albuquerque, we're upset because we can't get more than minimal DHS funding. I mean, we've got:

    * A nuclear weapons design laboratory

    * A couple thousand or more nuclear warheads stashed in bunkers

    * A major Air Force Base, collocated with one of the biggest civilian air hubs in the area

    * An Intel chip plant

    * Oh, and we're represented by Republicans: Representative Heather Wilson and Senator Pete Domenici

    What more does it take? Yeah, Michael Chertoff has to go.
