Safe roadways

Hey dumas their called the Eisenhower Highway system so take a wild guess when they were devised. About half way between then and now they were what was really needed, they are not anymore. The days of speeding down petroleum surfaced, petroleum manufactured rubber tired, petroleum burning steel boomboxes is gone. We need transport, mass transit, and bandwidth. Government gave away the railroad right of way so now they have no choice but to usurp the highway system for a updated retrofit. If autos are no longer included in this retrofit then too bad for anyone who thinks they can't live without making, selling, fixing, filling, cleaning, or driving them. Oil is twighlight, electric cars will be great for getting groceries but we need cross country door to door high speed rails that are computerized compartmentalized and kick some serious arse.
GW if you are not the man to follow in Eisenhowers footsteps and set a new agenda then that is ok, there are others who have waited their whole lives to lead a cause like this. Will people celebrate their interstates being closed, hell no! Will people celebrate having a new door to door compartmentalized rail system, hell yes. Will it require additional taxes? Of course. Is there another alternative? Public domain for a different right of way? More petroleum to drive how many years? More gridlock? More hov lanes? Fixing the bridges, roadways, and exits?
We had the chance 5 years ago for real intelligent dialog regarding terrorism and we blew it and 3000 people died in vain. Nothing learned nothing gained.
We have the same opportunity for dialog about the future of our transportation but we won't use it. We will argue about new taxes, roadway budgets, and a president that hasn't a clue about where we came from or where we are going.

Republican Primary

What is it with these guys in power? Don't they get it? We have the greatest attack force in the world, I defy you to name a square inch of earth the U.S. Military can't take, you can't , there isn't one. So why the hell are the greatest warriors ever stuck playing traffic cops? Would you go see the terminator play chips? Of course not because anyone with a color television knows it would be a mistake but evidently those guys in New Hampshire tonight don't own color televisions cause it sounded like more stay the course except for one bright bulb to the far right but he is from texas and that wagon has rolled.
Someday and it won't be long somebody is gonna realize our boys should be in darfur right now and if that means we have to find a new sheriff in bagdad then it won't be a moment too soon. Our boys can take any hill but only the lapd has the skills to keep a bunch of dumbasses from stepping on their own dicks.

Jesus would have nuked the place before sending the troops and he would be done cleaning up by now.

Prolife?

Prolife? If we focused more on protecting civil liberties, all of them, everywhere then maybe would be moms wouldn't be so reluctant to dedicate their lives to birthing future soldiers.

Weather Ballon Alert!

For all you UFO spotters out there; we passed a weather balloon over New Mexico at ~80K ft today on DL581. We flew just north of it and it just glistened in the sun. Our pilot made a wide berth around it as did another jet approaching us. I could see faces in the windows of the Eastbound flight. Yikes!

joe grogan is funny

I never expected the guy famous for hosting that show where hot chicks in sports bras eat bugs to be cognisant of the fact that stupid people are taking over our society. More than cognisant his self deprecating humor demonstrates that he knows more than he is letting on. Yes dumb people are reproducing faster than smart people. I think smart people besides having trouble getting hooked up in current society (think bill gates) often abstain from reproduction because they recognize they will with all probability produce someone destined to be a misfit and outcast because they can't relate to the general society. Hence the number of smart offspring is reduced even further.

joe he had a funny spiel about having to make your own cell phone, camera, or anything technical once all the smart people have died off. I got up and closed the curtains; visions of villagers with torches and stones come to kill me for not only knowing how these things work but even worse I actually built my own phone and several cameras back in the seventies when I was a kid.

Sad fact nobody noticed when I built them or my favorite electric guitar but the girls went crazy when I blew them up in the field behind Columbine High School where I went to school. Go figure. I think Joe may be right in more ways than he knows.

The perfect plan

The perfect plan (fiction)
I tell you what... I like nachos and your name is nacho and I like that so let me tell you what me and condi are gonna do. This guy bernie is no good, he helped the last guy all the time and ended up with contracts left and right so we are gonna throw him under the bus and your gonna help and your gonna gain see. Now this is what the boys cooked up, you got $100 million right? In stock? Well sell um cause your gonna need to be liquid hehe I like that word liquid, condi you like liquid? hehe. So where was I? Oh yeah so you get your $100 million liquid and your gonna buy stock in bernies company from our saudi friends and then your gonna sell it at a loss see. Now I seen your eyes get big just hold on a second. Your gonna lose all your money but that's ok see cause bernis got himself all margin'd up and if the stock goes down our boys say he will have to start selling. Now I am not a fan of marginin since silverado put my brother neil belly up in your state but the boys tell us margin will kill ol bernie too. That's where you gain cause when bernie gets margin'd tehe margin'd I made a joke, then you are gonna step in and take over those govt contracts see and your company is gonna make the billions he's been making. So that is how you are gonna gain see.
Are you in nacho? I love nachos... I need to know if your in nacho cause this is important stuff.
So important karl said I need to call it top secret cause it has to do with national security so don't tell anyone, ok. Even under oath ok.

Sucks to be you Joe!
You never should have messed with the pioneers.

IMUS: Its hard out here for a pimp and speaking smack will get you whacked.

Dinosaurs like Imus and Pat Buchanan may not get it but there is a time and place for everything except for calling coeds 'nappy headed hos'. Saying 'i guess I am sorry but I do a lot for charity' is no excuse.
