Good! - I am sick of all Gov't buildings both State and Federal having to be up kept and elaborate at prices no one in the private sector could afford -

It is ridiculous the amounts of taxpayer monies that our spent on federal and state buildings. It is becoming truly sickening.

You've got an improperly capitalized "I" in the first word of the second sentence of your post. (Just following your tagline instructions.)

Was the plaque of Moses holding the Ten Commandments that fell off the wall?

With the recent spate of ludicrous rulings from this "court," I'd expect that the piece fell off from the violent rumblings of our forefathers spinning in their graves......

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A basketball-sized piece of marble moulding fell from the facade over the entrance to the Supreme Court, landing on the steps near visitors waiting to enter the building.

No one was injured when the stone fell.

The marble was part of the dentil moulding that serves as a frame for the frieze of statues atop the court's main entrance.

Darned good point! I propose moving all federal offices to military bases...or better yet closed military bases, preferably in NV or CA near a dry lake which could sub as an airport. Afterward sell everything in DC to the highest bidder.

Bush's fault, obviously. He should be up there weekly checking for the structural integrity of the building.


I forsee congressional hearings into this


sarcasm / off

Is this a case where the original jurisdiction would be the Supreme Court?

It was caused by a wrecking ball. The building's being knocked down to make room for a luxury hotel. It'll add 500 jobs. Public good, and all that.
