I had Venison at a fancy restaurant in Basel, Switzerland once. It was more tasty than the best roast beef I have ever had.
At least it's not Satriale's Pork Store in New Jersey.
People don't realize that the cuts that were passed in 2001 are going to expire after 2010. The estate tax will be 0 in 2010 and then jump back to its 1999 levels in 2011. Also, the income tax rates on EVERYBODY will go back to the 1999 levels.
That's why the Robbie family sold it to him in the first place. They couldn't afford teh estate taxes.
I was about 10 or 11 when the riots happened in the late 60s. I asked my father why they were wrecking their own neighborhoods instead of going other places (I was scared they would come out to Cheektowaga). He just shook his head and said I don't know- doesn't make sense does it?
The riots were the reason we didn't go to Washington DC for a vacation that year. There was no way we were staying in any major city that summer. We ended up touring NYS for a week. Closest we got to NYC was West Point.
NASA Ames is cool. I went to an open house there in 1997. It has the biggest wind tunnel in the world- they can put full size helicopters and small private jets in it! They also have a simulator with 6 degrees of motion. The shuttle astronauts do training in it. Also next to Moffett is the "Big Blue Cube", a facility painted robin egg blue with no windows and about 2 dozen satellite dishes around it. It was part of Onizakua (sp?- named after the Challenger astronaut) AFB (the only part) and is believed to be a station for the CIA satellites.
Also on Modffett is a large hangar built for derigibles in the 30s. Mythbusters has used it and I think they filmed an Austin powers scene (his time machine car) there.
I remember hearing in the early 90s that only about 33 % of the welfare money actually got to the people that needed it- the rest was bureaucratic waste. Probably down to 25% by now.
Not to mention how much is going to illegal aliens.
The fighter if used for research is OK. NASA 's Ames Research Center is at Moffett Field. What gets me us that they own a 757 and 767! They are greenies but have thse large jets. I also don't like that they have landing clearance at Moffett Field for their big jets. It is still a military/government field with controlled access to the area. It is still used for reserve use. You can see pilots practicing touch and gos every weekend. it is also wher Air Force one lands when in the area (Clinton landed there to visit Chelsea in college.
