Anti-government crowd finds new complaint: Public transit service should’ve been better
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2009/10/06/ST200910

As it turns out, some of the marchers also had this odd complaint:

Not enough public transportation.

U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady, a Republican from the Houston suburb of The Woodlands, wrote D.C. officials, saying older constituents had to walk or hail cabs and missed the start because overcrowded subways didn’t "provide a basic level of transit service."

Even The Wall Street Journal is laughing at Brady. Headline: "Tea Party Protesters Protest D.C. Metro Service."

Now let me get this right.

You go to Washington to vent about spending.

And then you complain that you can’t catch a publicly funded subway?

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)


Yeah, I got a kick out of that one, too.

Almost as funny as all the tea-baggers telling "patriots" to tear down their American flags and stain them with tea, thereby defacing them. Y'know - because they love the flag and the country so much...

Oh, and the VERY conservative little town of Taylor, Texas just had a big protest and petition against having a rehab center open up in town for wounded Iraq war veterans. Because "Support Our Troops" really means "Not In My Back Yard!". One of the worries was that these wounded veterans would snap in a fit of post-traumatic stress and open fire on old people crossing the street and kids on bikes. I shit you not.

What public transport, airplanes?

No trains in TN.

Buses are empty, run on no-bid govt contracts, parked in long lines with diesel engines running causing deadly pollution in downtown Knoxville.

It's like school buses that literally poison the school kids, then crash and kill kids because no seat belts are allowed.

The biggest polluter and killer is always gubmit.

Cops killing patrons of mass transit is a buzzkill.

" TAYLOR — A California company wants to convert an empty facility formerly used as nursing home into a trauma assistance center for as many as 88 female veterans, including those who have been sexually assaulted by fellow soldiers. "


One, how sad is it that you would need a seperate facility for how many? women who were sexually assaulted while serving their country overseas ?

Two, how sad is it when a town like this tries to resist it ?


" Pasemann said the trauma center would not provide an economic boost to the town. "We don't have enough jobs as it is," she said.

The facility would provide counseling and rehabilitation services to female veterans in Central Texas, Rivera said. It would also provide about 40 jobs, he said. "

self interested idiots, tar and feather time


Should pull any government funding state or federal for anything to do with this shit little town and let it tumbleweed off into the desert, as it appears to deserve

TAYLOR TEXAS








Either your with the terrorists, or ... your with the terrorists


Lets party like its 1939
