The Joint Chiefs of Staff have looked over the history of integrating both Blacks and then women into the armed forces with an eye on a method of doing the same with gay men and women. Since you cannot tell if someone you’re serving with is gay or lesbian they’ve decided that gay troops should wear pink triangles. [...] 
Back in September some Carmel youth had an altercation: one threw eggs at another and the eggee smashed the guy’s car with a baseball bat in retaliation. In my world that would have been the likely end of it. But the instigator went crying to the police and now this poor kid is facing felony charges. Here we have yet another example of society stepping into a battle between two people that will ultimately cost us all a great deal of money and destroy the life of an otherwise innocent kid. In our rush for the unobtainable, a perfect society, we never look forward to the results. [...] Tea Bagger’s, egged on by Sarah Palin, are increasingly pressuring the “Liberal” media. WHAT LIBERAL MEDIA IS SHE REFERRING TO? News That Matters? Because, folks, I’m it. She says there’s a ‘sickness and darkness’ about me but we’ve never even met and I know she’s not a subscriber. [...] Unclogging Sewer Lines – Weird Debris, but No Alligators David Goldman for The New York Times “Anything that will fit down a catch basin or will fit down a manhole, I’ve seen,” said Chris Laudando, a city worker. Strange things can be found on New York City’s streets. Even stranger things turn up below, in the sewer system. David Goldman for The New York Times The city’s new sewage trucks, each equipped with a 30-foot-hose, can vacuum a total of up to three tons of debris and sediment daily. They will clean the city’s largest sewer lines. Over the decades, sewer workers have found jewelry, murder weapons, glass eyes and bulkier items of mysterious origin, including tires, mattresses and, once, a paddle boat from Van Cortlandt Lake in the Bronx. “I’ve seen parts of cars,” said Chris Laudando, a superintendent for the city’s Department of Environmental Protection, which oversees the system. “I’ve seen sections of boats. Anything that will fit down a catch basin or will fit down a manhole, I’ve seen. I’ve seen rodents, raccoons. All sorts of furry creatures. No alligators.” via Unclogging Sewer Lines – Weird Debris, but No Alligators – NYTimes.com.

[...] Toxic Waters – Saving U.S. Water and Sewer Systems Would Be Costly WASHINGTON — One recent morning, George S. Hawkins, a long-haired environmentalist who now leads one of the largest and most prominent water and sewer systems, trudged to a street corner here where water was gushing into the air. Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times As head of Washington's water department, George Hawkins, left, is on the scene every time a major sewer or water line breaks. The Breaking Point Articles in this series are examining the worsening pollution in America’s waters and regulators’ responses. Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times Mr. Hawkins's goal is to replace, within the next century, the pipes that were installed in Washington a hundred years ago. A cold snap had ruptured a major pipe installed the same year the light bulb was invented. Homes near the fashionable Dupont Circle neighborhood were quickly going dry, and Mr. Hawkins, who had recently taken over the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority despite having no experience running a major utility, was responsible for fixing the problem. As city employees searched for underground valves, a growing crowd started asking angry questions. Pipes were breaking across town, and [...] We pause here to wish a speedy recovery to a Kent neighbor from Farmer’s Mills Road who surprised two burglars in his home last week and and was found badly beaten and semi-conscious several hours later by coworkers wondering why he’d not come back from lunch. He’s currently in hospital but late reports say that the police have been able to interview him. Let’s hope the guys get caught soon. [...] |
