"This week the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey issued a stunning document to explain why Ground Zero has remained nothing but a hole for some seven years. It is arguably the greatest political and bureaucratic fiasco in the history of the world. Remember the line about how if we don't rebuild the towers "the terrorists will win"?

Certainly, investment in new small businesses and charitable contributions will be significantly reduced, most likely by the amount of the federal tax increases." - Dave Roth via Bookmarklet
