You know, this is so silly I would have had to blog it no matter where it had occurred. The fact that it happened in Kentucky (and hence, can be used to get a small dig in at my friends there) is just gravy.
Kentucky lands grant to protect bingo halls from terrorists
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky has been awarded a federal Homeland Security grant aimed at keeping terrorists from using charitable gaming to raise money.
The state Office of Charitable Gaming won the $36,300 grant and will use it to provide five investigators with laptop computers and access to a commercially operated law-enforcement data base, said John Holiday, enforcement director at the Office of Charitable Gaming.
The idea is to keep terrorists from playing bingo or running a charitable game to raise large amounts of cash, Holiday said.
But to some, the idea of protecting bingo halls from terrorists is nonsensical.
…
“to some”? Implying there are people who can say this with a straight face?
And hey, does this mean that anyone could theoretically “raise large amounts of cash” from running a bingo? I bet some of my poker buddies would be all over running a “beer money bingo”…
