“................... could cause a swath of land down to the George Washington Bridge to be uninhabitable for generations due to radiation contamination,”

I have no idea why that makes me smile, none at all.

You heartless, right-wing thug!

Several single moms, members of minority groups, children, and most important of all, many members of the GLTG group were injured by broken lightbulbs or by electrical shocks last year. Why in Toledo, a home inhabited by recovering alcoholics and dope addicts burned to the ground after an electrical fire. Most of them were back in their old patterns the very same day!

So young Bobby, related to the soon-to-be canonized Jack and Bobby F. Kennedy, is absolutely correct. Electricity in any form is bad for Mother Gaia and the most defenseless of its far too many inhabitants!

You realize, Captain, that Manhattan and the Bronx would be uninhabitable if the accident-prone Indian Point nuke plant... were blasted by the Enterprise using Photon torpedoes! Back in the late 1980's, the accident scenario development guys at Comanche Peak had a coffee cup made showing the Enterprise hovering above the plant firing phasers at the containment domes........

Doubtful.

Being fed up with nonsense might be closer.

Certainly you are ignorant of NY geography. 99% of the inhabited portion of Manhattan Island lies south of the GWB. Meanwhile, the United States Military Academy at West Point would be closed for the foreseeable millenia.

You might want to stop smiling.

“It is entirely likely that you missed the sarcasm in whatever animadversion I made, which caused you to become so unglued.”

So I will continue to smile. You should smile too.

Not only do you post things you don't understand, but it appears that you haven't mastered the correct usage of the word "sarcastic." I got it that you were trying to be funny. Don't quit your day job.

It was called Rancho Seco and while it operated power rates were lower and it provided many jobs. The fact is, it shut down every time a light bulb needed to be changed. Finally the cost of running it grew too great simply because of the idiot rules about shut downs, thanks to the "greenies".

Many of the unemployed plant workers came to work for our mill and they told us the ridiculous BS they had to put up with and the totally unreal rules of running the place.

"The more you learn about Indian Point, the more you know it must close," said Robert Kennedy Jr., a senior attorney at NRDC. "It's too old, it's near too many people, and it's just too vulnerable to fire, earthquake and attack."

Jr. is a Global Warming nut who had ALWAYS been anti-nuke, so I don't believe anything he has to say on the matter. Not to mention the fact that Indian Point was not built, nor is it run by Soviet Workers. At Chernobyl, the operators didn't understand nuclear reactions, and they let the plant run hot and it blew its top. Operators of American nuke plants are well able to handle issues that come up.

*snort* Jack and Bobby might be canonized, but only by the Church of What’s Happening Now, and its liberal followers.

Enough of your blasphemy, Woman!

Adding Bobby and Jack beads to the Rosaries we sell by the roadside to the Massholes who infect us all summer was going to save our town's industrial base. Then, you had to go shootin' your mouth off.
