Liars

Gov Tommy Ridge (r), PA - LIED when he raised the terror alerts prior to 2004 election - JUST TO GET BUSHIE elected.

What a shock... yeah right

Is anyone going to investigate and prosecute? Probably not. But we will Impeach for (1) firing your own Secretary of War, or (2) allegedly lying about a blow-job.

BTW Clinton didn't lie under oath - he answered all those questions correct according to the definitions provided by ... the PROSECUTION who redefined such words as "is", "the", "a/an". He did lie to the American people in press conferences - but Bushie NEVER did that now did he - WMD, etc...

COMPLETE B.S.


Snapped this at a gas station in Moscow, PA. During my 4 hours up, 2-3 hours at viewing, and 4 hours back trip to PA the other week.

True fans - Toronto Football Club

ALL of the seats at the stadium in which Toronto plays Football have been sold out as season tickets (and by football we mean Soccer to you US people who think that throwing the ball around a field is "foot"ball).

To this end they had to add 500 seats to the stadium which will only be sold on game-days. In the recent "friendly" between Toronto FC and the Real Madrid, the stadium was sold out by fand that were chearing not for the Real, but for the local team! They even stayed through the entire game to watch Tornoto finally score their only goal of the game in injury time after the regular clock ran out. They lost 5-1.

This is an example of real fans, not the fans here in DC who only go to games to watch their Yankees, Red Socks, or other teams beat the crap out of the Nats, or other instances where fans ignored their local teams till they changed affiliation...

Atlantis Found?

Probably not Atlantis, as I feel that Atlantis was found on the island of Santorini just off the costs of Greece and Italy. However, this find on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean is still very interesting in it's own right. This image was seen on the NOAA / NAVY surveys of the ocean floor - the ones used to general Google Earth photos. However, it is also seen on other maps of the ocean floor from various other agencies at various other times and to various other scales.

As can bearly be seen in the image above there are what appear to be city streets on the floor of the ocean. The image is at 31.404883221 degrees N by -24.41347612 degrees W, and at an altitude of 5,461 meters below sealevel.

The official explanation is that they are "echos" from the sonar used to map the floor - well, yes, as that is what all the lines are - because THAT IS HOW SONAR works! But even if it was some sort of interference, it would not occur in various other sources. It could just be a very interesting natural occurance on the floor of the ocean, but it would be nice to find out.

Fort Belvoir - biggest mistake ever?

The idea to BRAC positions from all over the metro area, as well as from various other Forts, Camps, and installations throughout the mid-Atlantic to Fort Belvoir, seems like a great idea on paper, but...

~10,000 of the total 30-40,000 people to migrate to Fort Belvoir have already. The Metro system has not even begun the "day-dreaming" process of extending the Blue line to the Fort, VRE hasn't submitted any paperwork to begin the process of adding a station to the Fort, nor has Fairfax County, the US DoD, or any other agency done much of anything to expand the capacities into and out of the Fort...

Fairfax County has petitioned the Commonwealth and DoT for money and has expanded several roads to the best that they could given the limited resources that they had at their disposal; however, non of the funds came from BRAC nor are the plans on the book to give BRAC money to the projects. Thanks Bushie for bankrupting the states, counties, and blocking BRAC funding!

An interview with the Honorable Jim Moran, Represenatative from Virginia is given below which only addresses the 2011 move of Pentagon employees to the Fort. It doesn't address the closure of other installations and migration of other employees to the Fort in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2015.

FROM WTOP:
Rep, Jim Moran, D-Va., calls the decision to move 20,000 civilian employees from buildings close to the Pentagon to Fort Belvoir in 2011 "an absolute traffic nightmare."

"It's going to be chaos," Moran tells WTOP. "I'm trying to get this across to Secretary Gates before it's too late."

Moran wrote a letter to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, asking him to reconsider the decision laid out by the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission.

"It will generate rush hours of three to four hours longer," Moran says, who is asking for a meeting with Gates.

Moran says, "Traffic waiting to access Fort Belvoir would back up onto
I-95 and extend morning congestion between one and two hours... These effects would lead to reduced employee productivity and degradation of quality of life."

A lack of public transportation in the Fort Belvoir area would create the congestion, Moran says. The area around the Pentagon can be easily accessed by public transportation, including a Metro rail stop at the Pentagon on the Blue and Yellow Lines.

"The influx of employees being sent to Fort Belvoir threatens to greatly exacerbate an already problematic situation," Moran said in a news release. "We must directly address the transportation needs of the Fort and surrounding communities before the transfer occurs."

Moran also tells Gates that out of the $458 million the military says it needs for traffic improvements, only 8 percent has been funded so far.

GREAT organization - they help the children of soldiers (non-officers) get to do things... i.e. they'll pay the cost for the child to join the band, go on school trips, join a sports team, etc... It is just sad that our government will not provide this service to them for free.

BLANTENT Copying???

Infiniti

Fisker Karma
Infiniti (thing Nissan + $20,000) has been showing their new ideas, like every other car company. One of their newest is the Infiniti Essence. In my opinion they've copied the Fisker line of cars. I couldn't find the 2-door version of the Fisker Karma; however, here is a 4-door photo and the Fisker Latigo for comparison to the I-Essence. Also feel free to google (images) the cars as well.
The KARMA is a hybrid, the essence is also to be a hybrid.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'

Tommy Jefferson 1802
