The BEST idea I have heard in weeks.

I guess this will show Justice Souter the consequences of destroying the constitution. I don't think this could happen to a nicer guy!


Press Release
For Release Monday, June 27 to New Hampshire media
For Release Tuesday, June 28 to all other media

Weare, New Hampshire (PRWEB) Could a hotel be built on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter? A new ruling by the Supreme Court which was supported by Justice Souter himself itself might allow it. A private developer is seeking to use this very law to build a hotel on Souter's land.

Justice Souter's vote in the "Kelo vs. City of New London" decision allows city governments to take land from one private owner and give it to another if the government will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner.

On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. Souter's home.

Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.

The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."

Clements indicated that the hotel must be built on this particular piece of land because it is a unique site being the home of someone largely responsible for destroying property rights for all Americans.

"This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development."

Clements' plan is to raise investment capital from wealthy pro-liberty investors and draw up architectural plans. These plans would then be used to raise investment capital for the project. Clements hopes that regular customers of the hotel might include supporters of the Institute For Justice and participants in the Free State Project among others.

Criminal Masterminds II

My new hero is Katherine Woodworth, 91 years young of Toledo, Ohio!

TOLEDO, Ohio, 06.07.2005
Woman, 91, Teaches Purse Snatcher a Lesson
She's 91 and uses a hearing aid and eyeglasses, but Katherine Woodworth wasn't about to let somebody steal her purse.
Woodworth clobbered the would-be thief with her bag until he ran away, police said.
"I didn't have my hearing aid in, and I thought he said that he was going to take my pulse," Woodworth said. "Then he said it again, that he was going to take my purse, and I said, 'No, you're not.'"
She fought off the man in a department store parking lot Saturday afternoon, authorities said.
Police arrested a 20-year-old suspect and charged him with robbery, felony theft, assault, aggravated menacing, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Sgt. Tim Hanus said women of Woodworth's age shouldn't try to fight attackers. Woodworth said she didn't think her age was much of a factor. What a load of shit!! Fight back if more people fought back maybe these jerks would stop attacking people... That is how people get picked, these thugs look for people they don't think will cause them any trouble who will not fight back. So I say arm yourself and or kick the shit of of them!
"I'll be 92 in August and I guess I've got more nerve now than when I was younger," she said.


These stories makes me feel much safer how about you?

Tick tick tick goes the bomb.

Thanks to my wonderful friend SondraK and her Cousin Joe for this great video. Joe is a CSM currently serving with the MP's in Iraq.

You really need to check out this video. Why would so many people be standing around something that might blow up at any minute. You know that why the police always try and set up the line back so if the bomb goes off, no one else gets hurt.

Maybe we should look for those WMD's again!

I heard about this on Fox news and saw in mentioned on many other blogs and websites, but I think I am the first to ask... If they can keep a complex this big hidden for over 2 years, why can there not be another bunker complex somewhere with WMD's stored in it. The only reason I can see that one doesn't exist is the fact the the terrorist are not using them against us.

Looks like its pretty easy to hide things in the Iraq dessert. I picked the NYT's story to link to and paste here, because it seemed to have the most detail about the complex.

U.S. Uncovers Vast Hide-Out of Iraqi Rebels
By EDWARD WONG
BAGHDAD, Iraq, June 4 - American marines have discovered an elaborate series of underground bunkers used recently by insurgents in central Iraq, with heavy weapons, a kitchen and fresh food, furnished living quarters, showers and even a working air-conditioner, the military said Saturday.

The bunkers were built into an old rock quarry north of the town of Karma, an insurgent stronghold in Anbar Province that lies near the city of Falluja. The bunker system is 558 feet by 902 feet, nearly equal to a quarter of the Empire State Building's office space, making it the largest underground insurgent hide-out to be discovered in at least the past year, if not during the entire war, said Capt. Jeffrey S. Pool, a spokesman for the Second Marine Division.

The military said the bunkers were discovered Thursday around 5 p.m. as part of continuing anti-insurgency operations being conducted in Anbar, a center of the Sunni Arab resistance and an arid province that stretches to Iraq's western border. In the past three days, troops with the Second Marine Division found more than 50 caches of weapons and ammunition in the province. Twelve were discovered in the immediate area of the rock quarry, Captain Pool said in an e-mail interview.

"Marines were out patrolling and looking for weapons caches, when out in the middle of the desert they see a lone building," he said. "They went to go and check it out. In one room there was a large, chest-style electric freezer. The marines moved it and found the hidden entrance to the underground quarry system."

"I can tell you that it is the largest underground system discovered in at least the last year," he added.

Near the building, marines also found evidence of a rifle-training range, including many casings from assault-rifle rounds.

No one was in the bunkers at the time of the raid, Captain Pool said. But the fresh food in the kitchen indicated that insurgents had been there recently. The underground lair had been in use for some time, he said, and was built from one subsection of the quarry.

In one part of the hide-out, troops discovered machine guns, mortars, rockets, artillery rounds, black uniforms, ski masks, compasses, log books, a video camera, night-vision goggles and fully charged satellite phones, Captain Pool said.

The marines were still uncovering "new finds" on Saturday night, the captain said, making it too early to tell exactly what the bunkers were used for or who inhabited them.

The insurgents had apparently installed the creature comforts of home within the hide-out. The complex included four fully furnished living spaces, two showers and an air-conditioner, the military said. Temperatures in the deserts of Anbar can approach a scorching 130 degrees in the summertime.

Decades ago, Saddam Hussein and his aides began building an extensive series of underground bunkers scattered around Iraq. Mr. Hussein hired German engineers in the 1980's to work on these lairs, which included tunnels and chambers beneath palaces in Baghdad and Mosul. It is not known, however, whether the quarry bunker is part of that network.

When United Nations weapons inspectors scoured Iraq in the months before the American invasion, they thoroughly searched many of these bunkers, but came up with nothing.

There has been at least one recent instance of Iraqis carving out an underground tunnel. In late March, American soldiers at Camp Bucca, a sprawling prison center in the south, discovered a 600-foot tunnel that ran from beneath the floorboards of a detainee tent to the exterior of the camp, on the other side of a berm. The tunnel ran 12 to 16 feet underground and was dug by detainees using shovels fashioned from thick poles, canvas, a five-gallon water jug and pieces of metal and rope from tents. That tunnel was discovered only after guards spotted a smaller tunnel the previous week.

Insurgent attacks in Anbar and elsewhere continued Saturday.

A roadside bomb exploded in the center of Falluja at 9 a.m., killing an Iraqi soldier, wounding two others, and damaging several homes, an Interior Ministry official said. Farther north, in Mr. Hussein's hometown, Tikrit, a suicide bomber detonated his vehicle at the entrance to an American base, killing at least five Iraqi soldiers and wounding seven others, the official said.

Guerrillas also carried out assaults in the capital, where the Iraqi government has been trying to restore order by increasing the number of checkpoints throughout the city and assigning tens of thousands of police and soldiers to the streets in a move called Operation Lightning. In western Baghdad, three men killed a driver near the road to the airport and stuffed a bomb in the trunk of his car, the Interior Ministry official said. When the police arrived on the scene, the bomb exploded, wounding two of the policemen.

In the northern city of Mosul, American and Iraqi forces arrested a senior guerilla leader on Saturday, said Maj. Gen. Khalil Ahmed al-Obeidi of the Iraqi Army. The leader, known as Mullah Mahdi, was arrested with his brother, three other Iraqis and a foreign Arab during a brief battle, The Associated Press reported. General Obeidi said Mullah Mahdi had links to the Army of Ansar al-Sunna, one of the most militant groups operating in Iraq, and to the Syrian intelligence service.

"He was wanted for almost all car bombs, assassinations of high officials, beheadings of Iraqi policemen and soldiers, and for launching attacks against the multinational forces," the general said.

The American military said Saturday that a soldier killed in a rocket attack in Baghdad on Tuesday was from the 807th Signal Company, 35th Signal Battalion. Military spokesmen mistakenly said Friday that the soldier was from the 155th Brigade Combat Team.

In the far north, the parliament of the Kurdistan Regional Government held its first meeting since its official appointment during the national elections in January. Members of the parliament were selected through a deal made between the two main Kurdish parties, the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. The leaders of those two parties, Massoud Barzani and Jalal Talabani, attended the meeting on Saturday.

Kurdish leaders are bracing for an all-out political struggle with the ruling Shiite Arabs over the definition of federal powers and the administration of Kirkuk, the oil-rich city in the north that the Kurds claim as their own. As the mid-August deadline for the permanent constitution approaches, the Kurds and Arabs will have to negotiate over what autonomous powers Iraqi Kurdistan will retain and whether Kirkuk will fall under its dominion. The governing religious Shiite parties are resistant to notions of broad autonomy for the Kurds.

An equally vexing problem for both those groups is how to get the former ruling Sunni Arabs involved in the process of drafting the constitution. A 55-member constitutional committee of the National Assembly is expected to meet Sunday to discuss the issue. The Sunni Arabs, who make up at least a fifth of the population and are largely leading the insurgency, are underrepresented in the assembly because they boycotted the January elections.

In Falluja, a bastion of conservative Sunni ideology, tribal leaders and politicians met on Saturday in a conference they called The Unity of Iraq and Its Independence. The meeting took place in a cement factory on the city outskirts, and the leaders agreed on a list of demands to be presented to the American forces and the Iraqi government. The demands include a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign troops, the release of political prisoners and an end to purges of former Baath Party members.

Since the fall of Baghdad in April 2003, Falluja and the rest of Anbar Province have proved to be the greatest thorn in the side of the Americans. In recent weeks, the Marines have tried two offensives in the area, first in the city of Qaim near the Syrian border, then in the city of Haditha by a large reservoir.

Captain Pool, the Marine spokesman, said that the marines who had been searching for weapons caches in the last three days had mostly been acting on tips provided by local residents, and that "these tips typically come through our tip line because locals are afraid that if they are seen cooperating with marines or the Iraqi security forces, they might be killed."

An Iraqi employee of The New York Times contributed reporting from Falluja, Iraq, for this article.

Marine escorted from Gerogia school!

I want to thank Neal Boortz for getting the word out about this and also SondraK & Knowledge is Power for helping to spread the word.

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution :

Marine rejected at school
Superintendent apologizes

Mary MacDonald - Staff

Thursday, June 2, 2005

Marine Corps Sgt. Zach Richardson survived Iraq, but not Carson Middle School in Greensboro.

When Richardson walked into the Greene County school last week, he expected to meet some of the sixth-graders who had written to him during his seven-month deployment.

Instead, he was shown the door, coming under the scrutiny of a principal enforcing a policy that requires prior approval for visiting speakers.

Principal Ulrica Corbett told teacher Matthew Lund, the Marine's host and former college roommate, to escort Richardson from the campus.

On Wednesday, after the incident had gotten attention across the nation, the superintendent of Greene County Schools apologized to Richardson and "all our other military personnel."

Richardson, 24, who corresponded with Lund's students while he served in the Persian Gulf, said he is still perplexed about what happened. "I know the principal wasn't trying to sabotage everything," he said. "I don't know what she was thinking."

His treatment, coming a few days before the Memorial Day holiday, led to front-page coverage in the local weekly, The Herald-Journal.

The story, written by 35-year editor Carey Williams and capped with a triple-decker headline, attracted the attention of talk radio and then the nation.

By Wednesday, people from Kansas and Louisiana were calling Greensboro, about midway between Atlanta and Augusta, and asking the editor to fax his story. Most were sympathetic veterans, he said. "The people here, they just can't believe it happened," Williams said. "They respect the soldier."

In his written apology, Superintendent John Jackson said the situation could have been handled differently. The principal, he said, could have allowed the Marine sergeant to speak with students, then dealt with the teacher who did not secure written permission for the visit.

"The thrust that's been placed on it was that he was unwelcome," Jackson said, although he insisted that was not the case.

Richardson, an Athens native, said he had planned to answer questions from the students and had brought combat items they might have found interesting, such as helmets and bullet-proof vests.

Lund had mailed postcards from students in September and December to Richardson and five other Marines stationed at Al-Asad, Iraq.

After Richardson returned from Iraq, Lund said he spoke several times with Corbett about having his friend come to the school. He said he asked for her written permission on May 3, but she never responded. Corbett did not return a call Wednesday seeking comment.

Lund, a first-year teacher, said his students were upset by the events. "Technically, she did her job. But what was right [was] for him to come speak to my kids," he said. "My kids earned the right for him to come speak to them. He certainly earned the right to be there."

It amazes me how some people can treat our Military personal. Richardson's goodwill gesture and offer of thanks to those kids was halted by a government bureaucrat. Her CYA reason "My decision not to allow Zach Richardson to speak with the students on Monday came out of my regard for the safety and welfare of our children." Did she really think that Sgt. Richardson was going to strap a boom to himself and blow up the kids jihad style. I think the Principle needs to think about who she is dealing with again. I am beginning to think common sense is not longer required to be in charge of our schools.

I still want more details, did she in fact ignore the request? If so WHY?

No matter what the reason I can think of NO excuse for treating this Marine with such disrespect. For those of you who read my blog, I don't think you will often call for someone to be fired, but this time I am. You may ask if she should be fired for not allowing this Marine to speak with the students at this school. The answer to that is no technically. What she should be fired for is lack of clear judgement and having no common sense in performing.

I will equate it to the 3 strikes laws in many states... I remember a story about a guy who was going to jail for life because he had stolen a bike. The press was all up in arms about it... How could you send a man to jail for life without parol because he stole a bike. I just wanted to smack them across the head... He is not going to jail for life because of the bike, he is going to jail for life because he was so stupid he stole a bike after getting convicted for two other felonies.
The principle should be fired for the simple fact that she is stupid. Someone with that lack of judgement and common sense should not be in charge of our kids. Alas the local school board is already trying to cover for the principle so I don't expect her to get anything more than public ridicule for her actions. While she deserves much more, I will take what I can get.

Slogan for the RINO 7: "Always surrender from a position of strength."

This is a follow up to my post of May 27th : Open Letter.

The Queen of the Right, Ann Coulter has done it again... Her column today knocks it out of the park. She is talking about the 7 "maverick" RINO Senators.

SEVEN 'EXTRAORDINARY' IDIOTS
by Ann Coulter
June 1, 2005

Let's not put the seven Republican senators who engineered the "compromise" deal with the Democrats in charge of negotiations with North Korea. I would sooner trust the North Koreans to keep their word than the Democrats. The North Koreans at least waited for the ink to dry on Clinton's 1996 "peace" deal before they set to work violating it by feverishly building nuclear weapons. After hoodwinking seven Republicans into a "compromise" deal, Senate Democrats waited exactly seven seconds before breaking it. The deal was this: Senate Republicans would not use their majority status to win confirmation votes. In return, the Democrats promised to stop blocking nominees supported by a majority of senators — except in "extraordinary circumstances." Thus, a minority of senators in the party Americans keep trying to throw out of power will now be choosing federal judges with the advice and consent of the president. The seven Republicans we're not leaving in charge of the national treasury believed they could trust the Democrats to interpret "extraordinary circumstances" fairly. And why not? It's not as if the Democrats have behaved outrageously for the past four years using their minority status to block Bush's nominees. Oh wait — no, I have that wrong. The Democrats have behaved outrageously for the past four years using their minority status to block Bush's nominees. Hmmm. Well, at least the Democrats didn't wait until Trent Lott foolishly granted them an equal number of committee chairmanships following the 2000 election to seize illegitimate control of the Senate by getting future Trivial Pursuit answer Jim Jeffords to change parties after being elected as a Republican. Oops, no — they did that, too. The seven Republican "mavericks," as The New York Times is wont to call them, had just signed off on this brilliant compromise when the Democrats turned around and filibustered John Bolton, Bush's nominee to be ambassador to the United Nations. At least it wasn't an important job. But even so, didn't we win the last election? Why, yes, we did! And didn't we win a majority in the Senate? Yes, we did! To be precise, Republicans have won a majority of Senate seats the past six consecutive elections. (And the last six consecutive elections in the House of Representatives, too!) I think that means Republicans should win. Republican senators support Bush's nominees and Democratic senators oppose them. The way disagreements like this are ordinarily sorted out in a democracy is that a vote is taken among our elected representatives, and majority vote wins. But sometime after 1993 — which, by eerie coincidence, was the last time Democrats had a majority in the Senate — a new rule developed, requiring that the minority party win all contested votes. The Democrats — the same people the seven mavericks are relying on to play fair now — began using procedural roadblocks to prevent the majority vote from prevailing by simply preventing votes from taking place at all. Senate Democrats do this by voting not to vote, whereas Texas Democrats do it by boarding a Greyhound bus bound for Oklahoma. Democrats tried "Count All the Votes (Until I Win)" — Al Gore, 2000. They tried "Vote or Die!" — P. Diddy, 2004. Those failed, so now the Democrats' motto is: "No Voting!" The Senate majority leader, Bill Frist, thought the party with the most votes should be able to win. (Boy — talk about out of touch! And this guy wants to be president?) The seven "maverick" Republicans thought a better idea would be to crawl to the minority party and plead for crumbs. If the "maverick" Republicans had a slogan, it would be: "Always surrender from a position of strength." The deal they struck, this masterful Peace of Westphalia, simply put into writing the rule that the minority party controls the Senate — which will remain the rule until the Democrats aren't the minority party anymore. No wonder Democrats were so testy about bringing democracy to Iraq: They can't bear democracy in America. Liberals' beef with Iraq's new government was that the Sunnis — the minority sect whose reign of terror controlled Iraq for almost 30 years — wouldn't be adequately represented. Obviously, this did not bode well for the Democrats — a minority party whose reign of terror controlled the U.S. House for over 40 years. The only way for Americans to get some vague semblance of what they voted for is to elect mammoth Republican majorities — and no "mavericks." (Fortunately, for the sake of civilization and the republic, that process seems to be well under way.) Chuck Schumer could be the last Democrat in the Senate and the new rule would be: Unanimous votes required for all Senate business. But at least we could count on Senators Lindsey Graham, Mike DeWine, John McCain, John Warner, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Lincoln Chafee to strike a deal forcing Schumer to agree not to block the 99 other senators except in "extraordinary circumstances."

LoJack your wife or daughter!!

LoJack will help you find your lost or stolen car. Now we have Forget-me-not Panties! I read this and my first thought was, how insecure or paranoid do you have to be? The link will take you to a web site for a company that is selling GPS enabled (and other high tech monitoring) panties, YES I said GPS enabled PANTIES! Then I saw the price (make sure you check out the order page so you can see all the sytles and prices) and I realized these are made for people like Donald Trump and Paris Hilton. Though my guess is they normally spend this kind of money on underwear, I am sure that the things they pay that much for are high end Victoria's Secrets and look much better. These panties look like the female version of the Hanes tightie whities, not a sexy Wicked Weasel version.

I would really like to know who is buying these and more important who is wearing them?

Voyager 1 Enters the Heliosheath

Summary - (May 24, 2005) NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has traveled so far in our Solar System that it's reached the heliosheath. This is an area just past the termination shock region, where the solar wind crashes into the thin interstellar gas of the galaxy. It was difficult to detect exactly when Voyager 1 passed through the termination shock and into the heliosheath, because we have no data about interstellar space yet, just calculations.Full Story -
Artist illustration of the position of the twin Voyager spacecraft. Image credit: NASA/JPL. Click to enlarge.NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has entered the solar system's final frontier. It is entering a vast, turbulent expanse where the Sun's influence ends and the solar wind crashes into the thin gas between stars."Voyager 1 has entered the final lap on its race to the edge of interstellar space," said Dr. Edward Stone, Voyager project scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Caltech manages NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, which built and operates Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2.In November 2003, the Voyager team announced it was seeing events unlike any in the mission's then 26-year history. The team believed the unusual events indicated Voyager 1 was approaching a strange region of space, likely the beginning of this new frontier called the termination shock region. There was considerable controversy over whether Voyager 1 had indeed encountered the termination shock or was just getting close.The termination shock is where the solar wind, a thin stream of electrically charged gas blowing continuously outward from the Sun, is slowed by pressure from gas between the stars. At the termination shock, the solar wind slows abruptly from a speed that ranges from 700,000 to 1.5 million miles per hour and becomes denser and hotter. The consensus of the team is that Voyager 1, at approximately 8.7 billion miles from the Sun, has at last entered the heliosheath, the region beyond the termination shock.Predicting the location of the termination shock was hard, because the precise conditions in interstellar space are unknown. Also, changes in the speed and pressure of the solar wind cause the termination shock to expand, contract and ripple.The most persuasive evidence that Voyager 1 crossed the termination shock is its measurement of a sudden increase in the strength of the magnetic field carried by the solar wind, combined with an inferred decrease in its speed. This happens whenever the solar wind slows down.In December 2004, the Voyager 1 dual magnetometers observed the magnetic field strength suddenly increasing by a factor of approximately 2-1/2, as expected when the solar wind slows down. The magnetic field has remained at these high levels since December. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., built the magnetometers.Voyager 1 also observed an increase in the number of high-speed electrically charged electrons and ions and a burst of plasma wave noise before the shock. This would be expected if Voyager 1 passed the termination shock. The shock naturally accelerates electrically charged particles that bounce back and forth between the fast and slow winds on opposite sides of the shock, and these particles can generate plasma waves."Voyager's observations over the past few years show the termination shock is far more complicated than anyone thought," said Dr. Eric Christian, Discipline Scientist for the Sun-Solar System Connection research program at NASA Headquarters, Washington.The result is being presented today at a press conference in the Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, during the 2005 Joint Assembly meeting of Earth and space science organizations.For their original missions to Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 1 and sister spacecraft Voyager 2 were destined for regions of space far from the Sun where solar panels would not be feasible, so each was equipped with three radioisotope thermoelectric generators to produce electrical power for the spacecraft systems and instruments. Still operating in remote, cold and dark conditions 27 years later, the Voyagers owe their longevity to these Department of Energy-provided generators, which produce electricity from the heat generated by the natural decay of plutonium dioxide.
