Sea-Tac's security: Are they serious?
Sea-Tac's security: Are they serious?
.......all of a sudden I realized: We're out on the goddamn runway," Alderete recalled. "We're in a gassed-up, seven-passenger van, and no one really knows who we are. We have an unobstructed path to the main runways, the commercial gates, the whole place. It was unbelievable."......
"Both the Port of Seattle and the federal Transportation Safety Administration reviewed the incident, including videotapes, and concluded their security system is sound."
And these people tell us the federal government can manage our healthcare?

Global warming with Dr. Kyoto
Global warming with Dr. Kyoto
"Dr. Kyoto, what are carbon offsets?
Carbon offsets allow rich people like movie stars, professional athletes and Al Gore not to change their carbon-intensive lifestyles while lecturing you to simplify yours so as to do your part to fight global warming. Basically, rich people pay someone else not to emit carbon in the future so they can go right on emitting it now. Next question."

"Muskegon Police were dispatched to the Spotlight, 441 W. Western, shortly before 1 a.m. on a shooting call"
What a "wonderful" addition to the rich cultural stew that the downtown leaders and their cronies at The Muskegon Chronicle are serving to the entire county.

Repair bill dispute to be decided in court
Repair bill dispute to be decided in court
"Countywide, there are 1,800 culverts, most of which are made of corrugated metal pipe and were installed in the late 1950s. Repair costs vary from a couple thousand dollars to more than $100,000, and costs typically are shared between the municipality and county, Hulka said. The Syers Road repair cost is estimated at $42,000."
This is BIG!
Our county is broke.
Our roads and culverts are BROKEN!
And our county and city leaders focus on EVERYTHING but the REAL problems of unending spending and a countywide anti-business attitude.
And the spending is almost entirely on over-compensated employees with insane retirement benefits and ever increasing pay and perks.

McCain Unable to Exploit Democratic Internet Fatigue as Obama Continues to Dominate
McCain Unable to Exploit Democratic Internet Fatigue as Obama Continues to Dominate
"As McCain’s inability to make any substantive inroads shows, the GOP’s dismal performance in ongoing SIPP Ratings continues to demonstrates the Party’s failure to grasp command of the Internet, which is taking an ever increasing market share from television, the principal medium for political campaigning."
The GOPers better wise up to this change from TV to Internet as the new medium.
Maybe someone ought to talk to a kid?

Crude Mistake
Crude Mistake: "Underscoring its failure to grasp the nature of our current problems, the Senate Appropriations Committee on Friday refused to end its moratorium on oil shale development in Colorado."
Obama's health plan
Obama's health plan:
"Now that Hillary is fading fast in Obama's rear view mirror we should take a look at some of his proposals for America. Let's start with health care. Here are his words on the subject from one of his speeches:
“We now face an opportunity — and an obligation — to turn the page on the failed politics of yesterday's health care debates… My plan begins by covering every American. If you already have health insurance, the only thing that will change for you under this plan is the amount of money you will spend on premiums. That will be less. If you are one of the 45 million Americans who don't have health insurance, you will have it after this plan becomes law. No one will be turned away because of a preexisting condition or illness.”
— Barack Obama, Speech in Iowa City, IA, May 29, 2007"

Increased cigarette taxes?
Cell phone taxes?
Unending spending......
Who Is Really Responsible For The High Prices You Pay For Gasoline?
Who Is Really Responsible For The High Prices You Pay For Gasoline?:
"For the last 28 years, Democrats in Congress and a few Republicans have again and again opposed our drilling for oil in Alaska's ANWR area when we knew it contained at least 10 billion barrels of oil we could be using now."
Why isn't EVERY republican candidate for election at EVERY level not shouting out this FACT to their voters?

Striking Out on Energy
"ExxonMobil chairman and CEO Rex Tillerson said it’s “astonishing” that Bush keeps asking Saudi Arabia to pump more oil, rather than working harder for increased oil production at home.
Tillerson called this “terribly upside down,” and went on to say the president should be fighting to open U.S. coastal waters to drilling and production on the outer continental shelf. He correctly wants to end the federal moratorium on such off-shore drilling, where kajillions of barrels of oil and natural gas are being completely ignored."
