If he can't have a killer home theater set-up, then the terrorists truly win.

terrorism could happen on Becker

I have to sigh up for something to read that link... can someone paste the text in here please.

Yeah, inquiring minds need to know what sort of t.v. he got. I need specifications to ascertain how much the terrorists are winning.

Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Skinner and Chalmers blow money from a government grant on a new Jumbotron.

"Seymour, some traveling music, please."

I love how the advertiser links at the bottom of the page are for Plasma TVs at Best Buy. :lol:

Massachusetts' former public safety secretary spent $17,000 in state anti-terrorism funds on a 60-inch plasma screen television for his office, although the set has no special capabilities.

So, I guess if it had special capabilities, everything woulda been a-ok.

This just shows how much corruption is involved with a lot of officials within the government, bribes, diverted funds, it's all in the game.

I think that if it had a built-in PS2 no one would be complaining.

6,000 For the TV
3,000 for the cocaine
8,000 for the hookers

Every straight mans dream.

Damn, must have been some premium hoes. Or, do you think he bought in bulk?

I think he took the week option, I'd say 3 good grade whores run 500 a night per each, which gives him about 5 days of debachery and derision.

ZING! :chick:

Yeah, but the problem with getting whores off the Kennedy's is that you always have to drown them in a lake or make them OD when you are done with them.

Really not worth the effort.

That's the price you pay for quality.

:lol:

You can't fight this kind of home grown terrorism without a flat screen panel guys. It's just impossible so don't try. You can barely even tell guy in the black mask 1 apart from 2 without it.

Well, they could use the TV to keep tabs on CNN.com. Would be kinda cool if the TV had a bat signal/bat phone-like apparatus that hooked up to it, though...

He should have bought the new samsung with new "weapons of mass destruction seeking power"

But that would have been $19,000 and, really who has that kind of money to blow?
