The first three are quite understandable and probably justified.

Heh, let's see how Kansas City likes having no representation in Congress.

And the DC government would get some impressive new buildings.

I got to Kansas City on a Frid'y
By Sattidy I larned a thing or two
For up to then I didn't have an idy
Of whut the modren world was comin' to!
I counted twenty gas buggies goin' by theirsel's
Almost ev'ry time I tuk a walk.
'Nen I put my ear to a Bell Telephone and a strange womern started in to talk!
(Whut next! Yeak whut!)
Whut next?
Ev'rythin's up to date in Kansas City
They've gone about as fur as they c'n go!
They went and built a skyscraper seven stories high,
About as high as a buildin' orta grow.
Ev'rythin's like a dream in Kansas City,
It's better than a magic lantern show!
Y' c'n turn the radiator on whenever you want some heat.
With ev'ry kind o' comfort ev'ry house is all complete.
You c'n walk to privies in the rain and never wet your feet!
They've gone about as fur as they c'n go,
(Yes sir!)
They've gone about as fur as they c'n go!
Ev'rythin's up to date in Kansas City
They've gone about as fur as they c'n go!
They got a big theayter they call a burlesque.
Fer fifty cents you c'n see a dandy show.
One of the gals was fat and pink and pretty,
As round above as she was round below.
I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel,
But latter in the second act when she began to peel
She proved that ev'rythin' she had was absolutely real!
She went about as fur as she could go,
(Yes sir!)
She went about as fur as she could go!

I don't think it would be that effective. The security would be the biggest problem, you can't just move that.

You've got me puzzled on this point, ph. How can you say the security is immobile when the president, senators and reps travel extensively?

If Saddam can have mobile biological labs, then why can we not have a mobile zoo?

Somehow I think our moblie "zoo" will need more internal security than Saddam's biological labs.

True. Our's leaks more. Even a CIA agent in Kansas City would not be safe.

Obviously Saddams security wasn't too good - look where it got him.

OK ph, since you won't let the security thing go. I say the solution is "surge" Kansas City! That way, we'll make it secure for both citizens and public servants.

Couldn't we just outsource the Feds to Mexico?

Thats a plan!! And they can do it every few years to a different city - learning new tactics and practicing on different landscapes.

Do you think that the the SS doesn't have a complete layout of Washington DC and know everyplace that a sniper could hide and every weakness in its infrastructure? They would have to rework the whole system every eight years or so, which would be a huge pain in the ass.

Happy Monkey · 01-19-2007, 10:59 PM

That was the idea when DC was originally placed. It's irrelevant now, though. California congressman's jet lag isn't worth the hassle of moving...
