The suggested readings for students were biographies of the Messiah. That was taken out.

People were concerned because the supplemental study material the Dept of Education (another worthless Federal agency) put out suggested kids read biographies of Obama. Cult worship?

Why doesn't he give back all the $ he's made off his POS movies. Oh, he can't. He already spent them on hot dogs and BJs.

The new piece went in fine and they are connecting it to the bridge. While it was closed, they have been doing pothole repairs, painting, and inspections. One of the inspections found a significant crack (could be sen on TV) on a connector in another part of the bridge nowhere near the part being worked on. This might delay the planned 5AM Tuesday opening of the bridge.

I hope she gets her shape back as she has spit out a kid already. She was 5 months pregnant when I saw her last on the show. Looked like it was filmed this spring.

Ap and MSNBC have that Jones has "resigned".

Some traits are more than one gene, like hair color, eye color, and height,

He just moved there during the off season

Since you can't rap their knuckles with a ruler anymore...

Power.

My father's cousin is a nun (now in her 70s). There's nothing against nuns drinking. Drinking and driving, yes. She would have a beer or mixed drink at parties or picnics. Once she was telling us about a near accident she had. She then says "...and the son-of-a-B word cut me off!..." We were aghast. She said "Nuns can swear too."

Savage is a total a-hole in person. In SF, where he started, he was on KSFO. He had a one hour show at first, followed by a two hour show with a woman who gave financial advice at drive time. She died in the Alaska Air crash off of the LA area. and they gave Savage the whole 3 hours. Within several months he PO'd everyone at KSFO (the conservative station) and KGO (the liberal station) and probably the ABC TV station too (they all share a building). He had to do the show via ISDN from his home.

Please don't tell us any more of your holiday plans!

If he wants to see bums, he can go out to the Embarcadero, across the street from his place.

They started moving the old piece out. It looks like it hs moved about half way. Got started about 3-4 hours late. They had to stabilize the bridge so that it wouldn't move and leave a space smaller than the new piece. I also heard that they are moving the pieces on teflon rails lubricated with tons of dawn dishwashing liquid!

Maddow reminds me of the 18 year old Fred Savage. Could be twins.

Because Obama IS a socialist.In 8 months he has had the government control the banking and auto industries. Now he's after the health care industry. He hires communists (his 'green czar"). Most people are legitimately scared that our way of life will be lost. You can't say you didn't expect this. Hannity and others were warning how left Obama was during the campaign. Obama has proved them right.

Random thought from a 45-55 year old: Why are the 25-35 year olds so dumb?

The grid acted like it's supposed to so that the overloads will not fry the infrastructure.

The last time it closed, in 2007, the contractor for the job was the company that fixed the Northridge damage in weeks and replaced a bridge at the McArthur Maze (at the Oakland end of the bridge)that was destroyed by a tanker fire in 3 weeks! That time it opened up 12 hours ahead of schedule. They also have to watch the winds. If they get too high, they have to suspend work. They say that they expect the winds to be low (<10 mph) this weekend. It's amazing how they thought all this out. The new bridge will be a little higher. When the new cranes for the Port of Oakland come in from China (some say George Lucas got the idea for the Imperial Walkers from them). the ship has to sit out in the bay near Alcatraz until low tide, then scoot under the existing bridge. A guy stands on the top of the crane to be sure there is clearance. He can touch the steel on the bridge!

The Oakland-Bay Bridge (the one that had a piece fall in the 1989 quake) will be closed from 8 PM PDT today to 5 AM PDT Tuesday. This weekend, they are removing a section of the double deck by moving it to the side and moving in a new section that will divert the traffic to a temporary bridge that will allow them to build the suspension portion of the bridge. The roadway they are moving is 150 feet in the air! A smaller section was put into place two years ago, also on Labor Day weekend. That was easier because it was only 30-40 feet in the air. That work was started on a Friday night and finished by Monday at 6 PM. Here is a web site for the construction of the new bridge

Thanks for the link! Machine Head was the first album I bought. Several years later I had a chance to see them in NF, but I had to work that evening.

I forgot who it was, but the head of the Ways and Means Committee would declare Reagan's budgets DOA every year when he submitted them. Gram-Rudman was working until Congress decided to ignore it.

Looks like he will be starting his Obama Youth on Tuesday 9/8.
