Something is going down – way down, underground – on the North Lawn of the White House. It's a big construction project, but no one will talk. Refurbishing the bunker? Missile silo? White House Metro stop? Digging for Jimmy Hoffa? So far, the administration is responding with the usual transparency.

Before Robert Gibbs took his final bow, the intrepid Mark Knoller of CBS News tried to draw him out on the mystery:

Other presidents have had bowling alleys, swimming pools, tennis courts, rose gardens, etc.,

My guess is a ‘bath house’.

It’s a new experiment in sub-soil technology and site preparation for the new Presidential-Watermelon-Ethanol- Experiment, effort, thingy. Maybe some non-fat peas......

. . . . Since it's our money financing this project, will there be accountability to We The Taxpayers? With government's previous record of wastefulness, how do we know there isn't a bulldozer not really doing anything except moving dirt around, and eventually we will be presented with phony charges for "something", while "someone" opens yet another off-shore bank account.

Olbermann’s career?
The country’s lost sense of freedom?

Stimulus money going to some kind of shovel-ready stuff, looks like. Just shoveling stuff around, it’s what this WH does best (aside from spending our money).

During 9/11 the White House was evacuated - with workers running in the streets trying to get to their cars. Let's hope for the sake of the country that it's an in-place ‘WMD Shelter”... with room for enough people to run the government. Sarah will appreciate the effort...
