Since Chuckie Schumer is the recipient of campaign cash from the beneficiary. And since that beneficiary got $600 million dollars in concessions from the NY/NJ Port Authority along with the promise that they would be the top dog in this port. Then US gets to foot the bill for a few adjustments to the port designed to help this one terminal/shipper.

And now we read that another Schumer contributor may end up scarfing up the NY leases at fire sale prices.
Thanks, Chad, but I don't get C-SPAN 3. I would love to see it, knowing what we know now.
In the coming campaigns, we all can get rich buying stock in Sominex.

It does not exactly have blockbuster written all over it. The film is a documentary about Al Gore, the famously wooden vice-president and failed presidential candidate, wheeling his suitcases from town to town and presenting a slideshow about climate change.
Yet An Inconvenient Truth is getting standing ovations at the Sundance film festival in Utah this week. The festival guide describes the film as a "gripping story" with "a visually mesmerising presentation" that is "activist cinema at its very best". In Nashville, Mr Gore's home town, fire marshals had to turn away hundreds of fans trying to get into a screening.
Another thing I wondered about these "switches"; it's entirely possible that we wanted them to go through, that they were defective in some way, and that the whole incident was a charade of some kind intended to screw up whoever was to receive them.
Winter will be gone in no time snugs.
Toodle-oo for now onyx. MTP is starting. :) Will check back in later in the day.
Makes me sick and where oh where is the ethics committee on THIS?
You're absolutely right, Miss Marple.
In addition to Hillary or another Dem in the WH, unfortunately, if enough conservatives/Republicans sit home on election day '06 and the Pubbies get voted out of office we will all be worse off (you think the Dims are the party of "NO" now, if they are in the majority, it will be worse) and the Dims will try to impeach the Prez.
The Pubbies are running away from Bush because of the BOGUS polls and some of their constituents are going to run away from them for not supporting the Prez.
Which movie is that... the remake of Westworld?
No stretch for Algore in playing a robot.

I'll be in on the ground floor of that stock buy, complete with blanket, large pillow, eye shades, and pajama's. :)
Max Boot reports from Iraq - What MSM fails to report.
Pretty much everyone currently in Iraq enlisted or reenlisted knowing that he or she would be sent to war. (The use of "she" isn't just political correctness--there are lots of women here, and they are not just performing traditional support functions, such as nurses or clerks. I saw female soldiers skillfully handling .50 caliber machine guns on patrol.) Not only do service personnel cheerfully face danger beyond the imagination of your average cubicle dweller, but they also work harder than an investment banker--and for a fraction of the salary.
"I've never worked as little as a 12-hour day yet," one sergeant told me. Eighteen-hour days seem to be the norm, and days off are unheard of. (Soldiers do get a couple of weeks of R&R in the rear or back home in the middle of a one-year deployment.) In many units, one soldier will be sent to fetch lunch from the DFAC (dining facility) so that everyone else can continue working. Others skip lunch altogether or gobble a PowerBar on the run.
One colonel, a brigade commander, told me that the only break he gets comes when he gets his hair cut. I believe him--after all, we were conducting our interview at 10 p.m., and he was still in the office. "If you work 18 hours a day, seven days a week, and you don't drink alcohol, it's amazing how much you can get done," a senior general joked.
Why even Fox is relying on these liers in the media - I don't understand.
I wonder how many of those fans were going in to laugh at him.
OMG - Conyers! That would be a nightmare! A Socialist/Commie heading the Judiciary (see my post from last week on Max Friedman:
Excerpt:
Besides supporting the communist-dominated anti-war groups, including the various Mobes (of which I was a covert member), and their successors, PCPJ (Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice) and NPAC (National Peace Action Coalition), the one major SWP front that lists congressional sponsors is the Political Rights Defense Fund, which, like PCPJ/NPAC, has one John Kerry as a sponsor/endorser. It was an anti-FBI operation.
If you want names of these people, here are a few of the worst: Abzug, Conyers, Dellums, G. Miller, D. Edwards, Rangel, Kastenmeier, Harkin, Kerry, Braun, P. Burton, P. Mitchell, C. Hayes (CPUSA), G. Crockett (CPUSA), T. Weiss, and about another dozen with lesser numbers of fronts or less serious affiliations. Dellums even wrote a glowing memorial statement for Sandy Pollack, a key CPUSA operative and a true Comintern (Communist International) agent if there ever was one in the 1970s and 1980s. It is in her tribute book, along with a lot of other people whose names would shock you.
For a few of these mentioned congressional names, there is some serious evidence that they were secret members of the CPUSA, but this for a future story. For some congressional names not mentioned here who were reportedly members of the CPUSA, I am working on finding the documents that will allow me to reveal the truth about them. Don't ask me how I know about them, I do. Unfortunately, I can't tell you all of it right now until the proof is in my hands, and getting them declassified for public review is going to be one heck of a battle. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich) tried his best to make sure that these documents were either destroyed or sealed for 50 years (when the House Internal Security Committee was destroyed in 1975). He knows what's in them and fears the devastating damage that they will do to him and the Democratic Party should they ever be released. His own record is a beaut, even just the public one.
Here's the whole article. If you haven't read it, it's a long, but good read

I have not read the document Hunter was referring to, however, from what he said it appears that Customs seemed to think they could demand the shipment not be shipped.
There would be no point to port security if the powers that be could not take possession of items deemed not allowed to be sold.
