Feed him BLT and give him IV's of alcoholic beverages - he can have a TV but it will always be porn. Pretty women go to his sell and taunt him mercilessly.

I Surrender!! I did it!! Take me away and begin my punishment immediately - PLEASE !!!

I doubt these guys would have the ability to even get inside the main gates.

Last year An 82 year old nun and her accomplices broke into Oak Ridge, Tennessee nuclear site with little difficulty. The nun, Megan Rice, and two others cut perimeter fences to reach the outer wall of a building where enriched uranium was stored. The site was shut temporarily after the breach.

An investigation by the Energy Department's inspector general last month found a security camera had been broken for about six months and was part of a backlog of repairs needed for security at the facility.

The NNSA repeated on Saturday that Energy Secretary Steven Chu has said the incident was an important "wake-up call" for the entire nuclear complex.

Don't kid yourself about the effectiveness of DOE's contract nuclear security forces.

If the house is a great deal and you can make the payments, buy it yourself and rent it back to your relative at cost. Your out-of-pocket is unchanged; your future credit rating is completely under your control; and you earn the equity in the property.

Yea, like Washington, and Jefferson, and Lincoln, and Roosevelt, and...

Oops.

a totally USELESS product

Useless to who? Just you, or the millions of people who use it?

The law does compel Catholics to pay for health insurance, which also must include the offensive items. Therefore the law is in violation of the Constitution -- hence a Constitutional issue. Very simple.

With the JPA running things they’re now recapturing 40% of costs in fares

So the taxpayers cover 60% of the cost.

How can you call that financially sound?

Name three, current living federal representatives and one federal senator that do no have college degrees.

You name three current federal representatives and one federal senator that are worth even one plug nickle because of their college degrees!

Bet you can't.

Has any state run store stopped even one alcoholic from buying alcohol?

How does the state run store determine who is an alcoholic?

Your reason for voting as you did is akin to voting for state sold automobiles to reduce the number of speeders.

Clearly you haven't thought through your opinion on the matter very carefully.

Facebook gives a planetary megaphone to absolute doorknobs.?

Facebook (and its popularity) is really just a symptom.

The disease is the "look at me!" and "please like me!" attitude that has infected our modern society.

The rugged individualism that was the bedrock for the creation of America has been replaced with a herd mentality of "go along to get along."

...don't argue with police, and don't resist arrest.

That very philosophy killed many millions of people in places like Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, The Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc., etc., etc.....

A handful of Coasties are located at Bagram Air Field. They are part of a Coast Guard Redeployment Assistance and Inspection Detachment (RAID) Team out of Kuwait. Their purpose is to facilitate the containerized redeployment of DOD material back to the United States.

Are you really this naive in person — or is this just a web personality that you haul out when your feeling lonely?

You don't know what you are talking about.

The author's (there were multiple scientists who were signatories to the UCSF letter) are saying the X-ray radiation is concentrated in the skin due to the lower energies and inability to penetrate further into the body. Therefore, their conclusion is the risk will be increased due to the concentration effect, i.e. higher doses of radiation on a smaller portion of the body results in increased risk.

Read the whole study before you spout off and show your ignorance of the subject matter.

Terrorists used to hijack planes with guns and grenades, so everybody else had to go through metal detectors.

Then terrorists hijacked planes using plastic handled box cutters, so everybody else had to have our nail clippers confiscated.

Then a terrorist tried to blow-up a plane with a shoe bomb, so everybody else had to take off our shoes.

Then a terrorist tried to blow-up a plane with liquid explosives, so everybody else had to stop carrying liquids or gels on the plane.

Then a terrorist tried to blow-up a plane with an underwear bomb, so everybody else had to be radioactively strip searched or manually crotch groped.

Next when a terrorist tries to blow-up a plane with a rectal bomb, are you going to be the first to submit to body cavity searches?

Just think what would have happened if she had been detained, patted-down, scanned and forced to open her purse?

From the posted narrative:

"Yep, the lady sent her purse through the machine, then she got the full patdown, and then she gathered her purse and went on to board her plane, stopping along the way to see if there were somewhere she could store her gun."

Perhaps it would be better for you to just ignore Sarah Palin, and ignore any threads on the subject of Sarah Palin.

If she is as inconsequential as you would suggest, then why do you obsess on her so much?

I”ve been here since 2000 and I have contributed to this site.

I have 2 daughters, yeah, so what?

None of which prevents you from being wrong on this issue.

you people are acting like children, in my opinion.

Please refrain from personal attacks in your responses. It violates Free Republic policies.

So, because you travel through Norfolk VA only, and have never seen a scanner, you are convinced there is no issue?

I have been radioactively strip searched or manually groped by TSA agents at seven airports from El Paso, TX to Boston, MA and from Pensacola, FL to Chicago, IL. And all within a two week period.

Perhaps you should consider that your situation may not be representative of the experience other travelers are facing.

Or you can read the Constitution and the case law and realize that the 4th Amendment doesn’t apply to standing in line to get on a plane at the airport.

Does it apply to standing in line at a bank? Does it apply to standing in line at the grocery store? Does it apply to standing in line at a sports arena? All of these are potential terrorist targets that have been aggressively attacked in other countries.

The U.S. constitution forbids "unreasonable" searches. You think flying on an airplane is evidence of a "reasonable" suspicion that you are a terrorist. Many of us do not.

If this were truly the case, then it would also be "reasonable" for the Government to search the homes, cars, and work places of every airline passenger. After all, the Government have already made the determination that "reasonable" suspicion of a crime is attached to being a commercial airline passenger.

I don't believe it is "reasonable" for the Government to suspect that all airline passengers are terrorists and therefore subject to invasive searches of their persons. I find the assumption that all airline passengers are terrorists to be completely "unreasonable" on its face.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t care if they can see thru my clothes during airport screening as long as it makes flying safer.

What would be too much security before you begin to "care"?

Would you be willing to submit to a strip search?

Would you be willing to submit to a body cavity search?

Would you be willing to submit to a TSA background check?

It was just a few years ago when people like you were saying that taking off your shoes, coats and belts was no big deal. That wasn't objected to by folks like you, so now we all get to be groped or electronically stripped. What will be next years new procedure?

At what point would you say that security has gone too far?

People need to get over it!!

That's also what they said about taking off our shoes, coats and belts.

That's also what they said about putting our toiletries in a clear plastic bag for viewing.

Now, that's what you say about being radioactively strip searched or manually groped.

What are you going to say when TSA agents start snapping on a rubber glove for the new invasive body cavity searches?

"Some of us enjoy getting away..."

A suicide bomber, in any crowded location, can kill hundreds of people.

Are you willing to subject yourself to this level of screening in every aspect of your life? Or does your acquiescence limit itself to airplanes?

If all male passengers would demand a private room and a female TSA agent for the groping session — what would happen then?

Will any of these idiot Republicans remember when Obama invited them to lunch to discuss the Health Care Reform Act?

Nine alleged pirates were captured...

Alleged?

Do we think they might have just been nine disgruntled tourists who got rowdy after discovering that their cut-rate ocean cruise on a freighter didn't include a Karaoke Bar?

I am sick of this PC crap!

most Americans would consider the TVA to be a success

Most socialist Americans.

Capitalist Americans would wonder what business the government has in the production and distribution of electric utilities. Why TVA, when so many commercial utility companies would be able to perform more efficiently without federal tax support?

I don't work my butt off to pay taxes to support a bunch of Wall Street bankers and not get anything back for my own community

Spoken like a true socialist. Willie is slowly exposing his true self with each and every post he makes.

Shape of the head.

Length of the muzzle.

Coat coloring.

Length and proportion of the legs.

Ratio between the circumference of the chest and the circumference of the hind quarters.

The Wolf genes generally make for a taller and more lanky body where the purebred Malamute is shorter and more stocky.

I also raised Malamutes, and they were comparatively wimpy dogs, very little aggression.

From the video and photos these are clearly Wolf-Malamute hybrids. A somewhat common breed (especially in Alaska.) I suspect the wolf part has a major impact on the behavior.

Since when has wild hyperbole been forbidden on FreeRepublic?

Hell, that rule alone could reduce the number of posts by 190%.

So the failed politician wants to convince a judge/jury that the elected position he failed to win would have been worth $500 million dollars.

Not the brightest bulb in the box.

And still — many here on FR swear by this fool.

don't let the private sector pimps and prostitutes plan your transit system

By all means... you must get the public sector involved when planning your transit system. That way everybody loses money when the venture fails!

Exactly!

All those small towns along the old railroads that just withered and died when the Interstate highway system made passenger rail obsolete.

It's a shame to see so many pushing to make the same mistakes over and over.

Frankly though that is a steep pay cut and I can see not doing it all at once. Just more proof corporate america has us in a race to the bottom

Do any of those workers earn the company more than the company spends on them? If not, then the only course of action for the company is to reduce their pay or stop paying them. The shareholders should expect nothing less.

Corporate America does not exist to provide jobs.

Corporate America exists to enhance value to the shareholders. It's a very simple principle, yet so many cannot understand.

He's still better than anything we've been "blessed" with for the past thirty years.

For my entire voting life (30+ year) the Republican Party has been settling for "not as liberal" as the opponent. At the same time, the Democrat Party has been trumpeting "more liberal" than the opponent. Under these circumstances the the yard sticks can only move Left.

When is the Republican Party going to start being a champion for "more conservative" than the opponent?

Until this happens we will never see the yardsticks move Right.

It will be a “Happy Birthday Obama” decision.

Consistency is the hob-goblin of little minds.

You have consistently hijacked multiple threads with your anti-television diatribe.

Small mind indeed.

I was too old for video games when Pong came out.

If the FR language police start making us use "thee" and "thou" or "verily" and "forsooth" -- then I'm outta here.

See Post 55.

Lots of "stick up the butt" Freepers out there.

I've got another decade on you and I know what PWNED means.

What's a "cellphone text message"? If it is some new form of telegraph message I wish you would just stop using the term on FR and stick to the term "telegraph message". How far back in time do you want to go? Papyrus scrolls, clay tablets?

Face it, times change and the language changes with the times. Cellphone wasn't a word (neither was telephone) in the not too distant past, now you use it as if you were born saying it.

What a pant load of crap!

Stocks fell because the One signed the financial reform bill.

More media spin to cover for a failed presidency.

We are not going to be able to pave our way out of congestion," said Danny Plaugher, executive director of Virginians for High-Speed Rail

No, but if you get the Government to force people to stop driving and use the tax-payer funded "high-speed" rail system , then you might actually convince yourself that the whole idea was fiscally prudent.

It isn't fiscally prudent of course, but with the force of Government and a steady flow of tax-payer's cash, we can always lie to ourselves about the results.

See the 2006 $400 million rail in New Mexico between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. How's that $18 - $20 million per year government boondoggle working out for ya'll? They are struggling to meet yearly expenses and will never pay off the initial tax-payer funded capital outlay.

The market will respond.

The market has already responded concerning electric vehicles. The market said no.

Now the government will force the issue with mandates and regulations. I guess the government will also have to force repair shops to respond with mandates and regulations.

BTW - where will states like California get the additional electrical capacity to feed all the electric service stations? They don't have enough distribution and spinning reserve for their current loads.
