In other words, contraflow was never implemented properly or effectively.

I understand what contraflow is, but I never saw it on the TV. All traffic was on one side of the road, and basically a parking lot.

Never actually saw the 'contraflow' in effect.

She drove that far to volunteer her time? I'm VERY impressed. I hope she's careful; there have been some disturbing reports of violence at the shelters.

"Honore reminds me of Tommy Franks. Franks was always looking for creative ways to protect his soldiers. His book was awesome!"

I know I'd like him then. General Franks was always considerate to his soldiers. He has moved close to Snyder, Ok, about 50 miles away and had a book signing at Walmart. My wife surprised me with an autographed copy for Christmas, said she had to stand in line hours to get it.

Any of you guys do your flight training at Ft. Rucker? I grew up about 12 miles from there.

I thought the hearings would start thursday, after the rehnquist funeral? there is nothing to be gained on our side from delaying it.

Note to Bubba: Hows about you ask James Lee Witt to give back the money from that contract Blanco gave him and do the work pro bono?

I hereby elect you to represent the conservatives when this matter goes to hearings. I think Freepers would willingly contribute to cover your expenses and earn a healthy salary :-)

I believe I heard it declared to be at 4pm on Sunday. I was surprised later that day at how few cars were using it, tho.

As long as it's Monday and we don't let them delay further, I'm okay with it.

When is that next "area of interest" in the Atlantic expected to make landfall? I don't know all the ins & outs of weather forcasting but I do understand that there are many factors that make prediction difficult at best. What is the soonest it could reach Florida (or wherever it is most likely aimed)? How likely is it to go north or south? Thanks.

That was the problem. Neither did most other people.

"Did you notice how silent it was after Honore ask who said that?"



Command voice, part of the West Point curriculum.

Most folks never realize it, but after an officer has survived the competition of a military career and combat, succeeding well enough to be awarded stars, his first reaction on walking into any room or situation is to answer the question, "How can I kill every single person here?"

Once answered, his actual responses will be dictated by the use of the minimum force or assets necessary to accomplish his mission.

"Going maximal" is online as an available option at all times, never to be advertised or wasted. Much more useful than admiring what he actually did to that reporter would be asking yourself just how much else he was holding "in his pocket" and deemed unnecessary to use.

I certainly am impressed with Honore.

I had to pick myself up off the floor and dust off my lab coat.

I also take issue with reporters calling Gulf coast production platforms things like oil rigs. The floating hotel that hit the bridge in Mobile was labeled a drilling rig.

Another pet peeve is when they call a front end loader a bulldozer.

Yesterday a reporter called a bobcat a bull dozer.

Reporters, especially some of the more pampered ones say some dumb things.
