<0> it is
<0> the US is not the only country in the world, nor the only one worth visiting/traveling around
<0> that's self-limiting.
<1> lol
<2> gee..maybe all that unrestricted development in florida wasn't such a good idea after all :)
<1> Whatever rocks yuour boat
<0> yep, the full variety the world offers deserves to be acknowledged. :)
<3> The Department of Homeland Security has invested tens of millions of dollars and countless hours of labor over the last four years on a seemingly simple task: creating a tamperproof identification card for airport, rail and maritime workers.
<3> Yet nearly two years past a planned deadline, production of the card, known as the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC), has yet to begin.
<3> sorry, mean to post this: http://freeinternetpress.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=6883
<4> I used to want to bicycle acrost Japan... and that'd still be fun but I don't think I'll be able to take off work for the month+ it'd take to do it while I am still young enough to survive the trip :P
<5> bicycle across Japan?
<1> Kobushi the key is to decide to do it, plan for it and make it happen
<4> L0c0 that isn't a "seemingly simple task" at all .... "tamperproof" ? that's incredibly difficault
<2> KoBushi, I'd like to 'throughike' the AT...but again...time/money/age..
<5> you know Japan has hunbdreds of islands?
<6> bicycle across America instead
<6> lol
<4> Yankee27 right, the main island would suffice :)
<0> Kob: yeah. .that'd be an amazing trip
<5> Bicycle across China.
<3> KoBushi: read the article
<7> he has one of them boat bike combo
<5> dodge some tigers and ****
<3> i have another one on a democrat (and likely presidental candidate), hold on
<4> Yankee27 I was thinking Atomori to Osaka
<2> heh, you'd have to find a tiger first in order to dodge it
<5> yeah ded
<2> damned few left
<5> if any still exist in china.
<3> Tobacco company provides travel to (New Mexico Governer Bill) Richardson (D): http://www.boston.com/news/local/connecticut/articles/2006/05/15/tobacco_company_provides_travel_to_richardson/
<3> hehe
<3> corruption is blind to party lines
<4> yeah but China wouldn't be as fun, because there aren't any japanese school girls there
<4> jk
<2> prevert
<3> i think there's a difference between "tamper proof" and "counterfiet proof"
<5> how many "decent, moderate" democrats are there?
<4> L0c0 true, but still equally impossible goals
<2> eleven
<4> repalce "proof" with "resistant" and it's doable :P
<2> and they are balanced by the eleven 'decent, moderate' republicans
<5> which 11?
<5> all unlelectable in the primary, eh?
<2> well...me for starters...
<2> but I'm not running
<5> you're a demobrat?
<2> there's a couple of others around here I know...
<2> and 2 or 3 in Louisville
<3> KoBushi: i agree...but the longer its put off, the longer it'll take
<3> Instead, the road to delivering this critical antiterrorism tool has taken detours to locations, companies and groups often linked to Representative Harold Rogers, a Kentucky Republican who is the powerful chairman of the House subcommittee that controls the Homeland Security budget.
<3> It is a route that has benefited Rogers, creating jobs in his home district and profits for companies that are donors to his political causes. The congressman has also taken 11 trips - including six to Hawaii - on the tab of an organization that until this week was to profit from a no-bid contract Rogers helped arrange. Work has even been set aside for a tiny start-up company in Kentucky that employs John Rogers, the congressman's son.
<2> Yankee27, yes..primarily because I can't be bothered to change my voter registration...
<5> so, you're like that dude from Georgia?
<2> L0c0, Hal's a ****head...
<5> I forgot his name....
<2> has been for years
<3> yup
<5> the demobrat who campaigned for Bush last election.
<3> politicians don't seem to be afraid of having their corruption exposed anymore
<8> 10,000 National Guard t the border....
<4> L0c0 the corruption is never surprising... I'd be far more startled if an elected official did something quickly, efficiently, and effective.
<8> bush proposal
<2> L0c0, strangely...he keeps getting re-elected
<8> DD who?
<9> Boy did my body feel bad this morning when I woke up, Worst in months.. Ive been sleeping about 4-6 hours, maybe its catching up..
<2> but then again...our Governor has just been indicted... :)
<9> Anyway I am here and better, good morning ;)
<2> CryArvach, Hal Rogers...congresscritter from KY
<8> where is this DD??
<5> Our ex-GOV is on his way to Jail.
<2> Cry, Kentucky
<8> DD incumbents usually have the advantage.......
<10> The United States will restore full diplomatic relations with Libya and remove the North African country from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, the State Department announced today. "We are taking these actions in recognition of Libya's continued commitment to its renunciation of terrorism," said a statement from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
<3> DeDannan: imo, that's what happens when voter turnout under 50% is the norm
<8> what with their piles of bolldmoney...
<9> Ded, When i have been upset my party I have considered changing, but same thing.. Hell Ive been GOP all my life and to be honest I still believe in the more rational heads in the party so I Hang on.
<3> btw, check out what we got last night: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v22/pfjunkie/hail003.jpg
<8> if you think about it, a Housr rep has to run every 2 years...
<2> L0c0, Rogers has a history of 'bringing home the bacon'...just every now and then...he brings bacon to his home too :)
<9> Issues Like Dubia Ports and Immigration made me think about quitting.
<10> l0c0: holy ****, those are some huge *** kidney stones.. how long did it take to p***? :-)
<3> should lower the senator's term limits to 3yrs
<8> if they spend their last year running for election for 2 more years....and you take out the holidays they receive...
<8> we get 2-3 moths of work a term from a House rep
<3> DeDannan: hehe. its wierd, on one had, if he brings jobs, ok, that could be a good thing, but have to ask, at what cost are those jobs coming at
<10> CA: you say that as if it was a BAD thing. anything that keeps rep's from p***ing new laws, is good :-)
<8> DD..heh..is KY trying to outdo AZ?
<9> But at least a lot of republicans agree with me on both issues especially the more respected republican minds like Kristol, Barnes, Hume, Krauthammer etc.
<10> ST. JOSEPH, Missouri (AP) -- A high school teacher has apologized for asking students to write about who they would kill and how they would do it, and officials said he will likely keep his job.
<2> L0c0, and to beat all....Hal campaigns on a 'smaller government' platform :)
<2> gotta love the irony there...
<5> what do reps get paid yearly?
<4> Lupine ... o_O
<3> Lupine: damn it, anytime a teacher wants to expand beyond the required ***ignments, they get put down by the man
<3> Lupine: :-P
<8> Lupine...but they still keep creating foul legislation in the short time frame in which they work.
<8> brb
<3> DeDannan: ironic
<9> IN my own state I feel impotent to change politics and I have no illusions. its not so much the politics , its the politicians who are very well to the left of the average Californian.
<5> anyone get msged from freetrade ?
<2> Cry, the only state that beats out Kentucky in the corruption dept...is Louisiana :)
<9> Esepcially Senators, and Pelosi.
<10> DeD: ****, chicago alone outcorrupts ya
<5> heh
<5> Chicago.
<2> nah..not even close :)
<3> Bill Richardson has painted himself as a sort of "down home" democrat, hispanic and understanding of poor people's needs. Yup, easy to feel their needs while cruising over them at 30,000 in a private jet provided by a big tobacco company
<3> haha
<2> when one of the first acts as Governor is to put your sister-in-law on the state payroll...during a hiring freeze....THAT takes cojones!
<5> gotta run
<9> Kentucky has corruption problems ? Huh. I never really knew that, I knew, LA, and Chicago, and NY used to be 3 decades ago as did LA. (States vs cities and so on)
<10> Three women killed by alligators in one week. Hmm... wonder if I take harvest the gator in my lake for new boots and purses now.
<9> Lupine I saw that, A lot of it blamed on low water..
<11> WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States restored full diplomatic ties with Libya on Monday, rewarding the longtime pariah nation for scrapping its weapons of m*** destruction programs.
<2> gee..maybe all that unrestricted development in florida wasn't such a good idea after all :)
<11> great news
<9> 3 this month out of I forget 27 in 50 years ?
<11> America and Libya are friends once more
<10> FT: well, only one is known to actually have been attacked/killed by the gator. autopsies will have to confirm for the other two
<9> Ded, Yeah one of the two had to go the alligators or the deveopment.
<10> one lady was a druggie hanging out behind someones house, and they found evidence she had just shot up.
<10> i've been near lots of gators. normally they dont want anything to do with you.
<7> great now you got a gator on speed...
<3> its mating season for gators
<3> that makes them more aggressive
<9> er development. I am for balance.. I am against extreme ecological cases like finding a lizard on a lot which probably was put there and then banning construction.
<10> I have a ~11.5 foot gator that comes up on my bank sometimes
<3> humans further encroaching on gator territory
<3> i mean, this isn't all that surprising
<9> What is the gator population compared to say 1960 ? Maybe its time to think the herd...
<9> I honestly dont know.
<3> you step on a hornet's nest, you're gonna get stung
<2> FT, yep..and the gators have been around a lot longer than the snowbirds, New Jersey retirees and various tourists colloquially known as 'bait' :)
<9> Ded, Yeah, It would drive real estate prices higher, but wait till they experience this next 5 years of hurricanes.
<3> fr33trade: also have to consider that their habitat is getting smaller...may have less gators, BUT, you have them consentrated in smaller areas
<9> L0c0, Well I believe in balance and common sense. My beef is the lone case of a "rare" lizard found on a potential development by ecologists.. (Did it come from their pocket ?) there are extreme cases.
<9> But like the bay area, nowhere in the central bay area can we develop new lands, and we have in the hills 1000s of acres of land.. And I think it should stay that way.. It not only influenced higher home prices, but believe it or not its not my motivation. Its cool that I can drive 5 miles and go where mountain lion and rattle snakes live (Not that I want to) but the point is I can.
<2> there's some places folks just weren't meant to live...at least not in the quantities they're living now...
<9> Where I am working in Marin they require minimum 20 acre lots.
<9> Ded, I agree with that.
<9> Ded, Nature tends to get even eventually.
<2> true that
<9> Commodities fell sharply this morning.
<10> Fr33Trade should consider what happens when the toad crosses the road..
<9> I think its the beggining of the end for them.
<9> All this flooding in the N.E. is something.
<9> Oil is below 70 again, lets hope it continues and gas prices fall.
<2> 'speculative bubble' its being called...
<2> not suprising considering the rapid run up in some commodities...
<9> Ded yep, how much who knows some believe as much as $20 a barrel is speculation not supply and demand.
