Blackwater is the group protecting Hillary right now so somebody likes

Firstly, you don't know this for sure. She still has secret service
protection I believe. Secondly, BW no longer exists under that name.
Thirdly, their involvement should be shutdown, as they're a corrupt,
ultra-right-wing organization.

As sure as anything else I hear on CNN


There was still no reason why the actual screeners could not be
contracted and working under TSA guidance. The way it is, we own those
people forever, even if they came up with a lot less labor intensive
way to screen passengers. If anything, having 45,000 minimally
skilled employees, you can't fire, will stifle innovation. "Thinking"
was never a job requirement for this job.


Perhaps you'd like to blame someone? Go for it.

You can blame the Bush administration, no problem from me with that.

The Bush administration caved under Democrat pressure to 'protect' the
population.

Another stupid thing Bush did.

You, I've concluded, are truly among the stupid. Sorry, but it's clear.


John is far from dumb.

How do you tolerate Donnie? He's a real imbecile.

TSA

Again Jon Stewart points out things the real news missed

Obama still hasn't filled the office of director of TSA.



They have an acting director. It's not like there's no one in
charge.

I wonder why the Senate hasn't gotten around to it... perhaps it's
been
the
obstructionism going on by the Republicans, who are continually
threatening
the filibuster, even with Defense bills? Nah, couldn't be that...


The TSA is an executive branch department. Obama has to appoint the
director.
I am not even sure they have to be ratified by the senate at that
level. It would be a rubber stamp thing anyway.


It's an appointment and it needs to be approved by the senate. It's
being
held up, as I said, by the right-wing.

If you're not sure, look it up instead of guessing.


OK that was easy, there is no hit on TSA confirmation on Thomas.
There has not been a bill with those words introduced in the senate or
the house.
Now back to you. Who's confirmation IS being held up?


The Senate. Try again.

In any case, be it Obamanation hasn't submitted a name or the senate
hasn't got off their pork barrel asses, in either case it is a Democrat
issue.


Also untrue.

Only in your mind.


Fortunately, I have one.


Dumb, weak spin.

Try again...

You have to learn to use their 'dollar menu' and drink 'senior

Back in the 1960's we would buy a dozen McD burgers at 15 cents each. Take
them back to where we worked on our race cars and lived and toss a1/2-2/3 of
the buns and stack the extra paddies on the remaining buns. Made a decent
burger then. $0.20 for a shake. Talk about inflation.

We had White Castle in Chicago before McD came around. 12 cents, and

Cardboard. Felt I was ripped off 3 cents. Didn't try your trick

Still prefer White Castle. Pretty much has to be an emergency to get

Tried the shake too. Phony. I could get a real ice cream malt for 30

After Charlie Manson, McD is probably the worse thing wrought by
California.

True enough. We stop there on the road for the bathrooms, and my wife
can always eat their chicken.
I confine myself to the biscuit/pork sausage/egg sandwiches early in
the morning when we hit the road from a motel.
Only place open usually, and she HAS to eat.
But I always consider it an emergency when I stop there.
Those biscuits go down good, but you pay later.

We did not have White Castle, but we did have Bobo's. Great 14 cent
burgers. But it was by University and San Pablo in Berkeley and was at
least 3x the drive. Maybe 3 miles, instead of 1 mile. And we were young
and immortal.

That thing just cooks both sides of a small piece of meat. White Castles
are great. Kids used to have me get a bunch to bring home to Calif when I
went to Chicago on business. Any meat steamed on top of a grill full of
onions and then have the bun soak up the meat juice and onion flavor has to
be fantastic.

You hit on the key thing there. There was a Vienna dog place on the
south side that often had a line outside. Bought many dogs there.
The reason they were better than other places was they steamed the
buns. Wrapping good fries in the paper with the dogs didn't hurt
either.

Here in New Jersey, White Castle never went away, and it now seems like
they are expanding. So, maybe you'll get lucky and they will return to
your area. You can always check he

Still the same silver dollar sized, 30% fat, burger, on a steamed bun.
I used to buy 2 every morning at 17th and Pa. ave. my way to school. I
think they were a dime each then. Mc Donalds at 15 cents did not seem
that out of line.


I remember reading something in the post in the last few years that the
last little tavern had closed, or was closing. I think it was the little
tavern...

I remember one in georgetown, on "M" street, near the bridge to
Rosslyn...but this was many years ago, when I worked in the Georgetown
area, on 31st Street. I'm pretty sure even the little tavern
bulding...on the side of another building...is gone.

That thing just cooks both sides of a small piece of meat. White Castles
are great. Kids used to have me get a bunch to bring home to Calif when I
went to Chicago on business. Any meat steamed on top of a grill full of
onions and then have the bun soak up the meat juice and onion flavor has to
be fantastic.


You hit on the key thing there. There was a Vienna dog place on the
south side that often had a line outside. Bought many dogs there.
The reason they were better than other places was they steamed the
buns. Wrapping good fries in the paper with the dogs didn't hurt
either.

Gene and Judes. Not south side but the same!

Do you remember Ollie's Trolley's? Always hold the burger perpendicular
to your body otherwise you will get a load of grease down your arm. They
have a store front location but it isn't the same as the old places in
the parking lots all around town.

Damn I miss them.
