City of D.C. being told they have to pay $17.3 million for inaugeration

Ok, so the City of the District of Columbia isn't going to be reimbursed for expenses incurred due to the inaugeration. (Mostly security.) Apparently, it's going to cost the District $17.3 million for cops and such. Where's the money going to come from? Homeland Security funds! Isn't that funny? Whoohoohoohahaha!

So what if they have to lay off a few firemen or cops, or close an emergency room or two? It's gonna be one helluva party! Oh, and if you're an average D.C. resident, you're not invited.

And people wonder why I think Bush is a dick.
