Homeland Security Chief Andrew Cuomo Warns New Yorkers To Be Vigilant

Fresh from "playing Tommy Lee Jones in the upstate manhunt for two escaped killers," Governor Andrew Cuomo is now playing homeland security chief and he's got some wise words for New Yorkers:

“We are keenly aware that New York State remains a top target for terrorists,” Cuomo said. “In response to the warning by the federal government, New York State is taking steps to increase monitoring and communication with our local, state, and federal emergency management and law enforcement partners through the holiday weekend. As we celebrate with family and friends this Independence Day, I urge all New Yorkers to not only remember the freedoms that we hold dear, but also remain cautious of their surroundings and learn to recognize and report suspicious activity.”

While preparing for an attack, Cuomo noted, terrorists may “conduct themselves in ways that do not match the usual pattern of activity found within our daily lives, which makes them stand out from others.”

Gee, thanks for the advice, governor.

How lucky we are to have you.

You track escaped prisoners, you're the "great compromiser," and you help us spot terrorists.

Thank God you're our governor.
