		<description>I see that the Pork Report found on my organizations web site is causing a stir. I love it!

Keep the flames burning folks, but I would also urge you to get involved. Bitching about it without actually putting skin into the game, will not help fix the issues.

If you wish to read a good story and help fight our current government structure, read the book - EARTH 2010. It is a politically charged Sci-Fi Thriller that blends current affairs with Legends of yore, and hurls modern society into unimagined Chaos.

		<description>DeLay&#039;s actions in congress today, pushing the oil bill through, is just yet another example of how he is determined to force every citizen (except the fat cats) to bend over for the oil barons.
If it is so imperitive that we add refining capacity, then why did Shell try to close their Bakersfield, California refinery last year, even though it was their most profitable facility?  Something stinks and will continue to do so until the people who put these idiots into office wise up and vote them out.  
I live in a city that is heavily republican and just about everyone is disgusted with both their executive and the legislative representatives.  Several can&#039;t quite bring themselves to switch to the democratic party, however they are leaning toward the libertarian.  One said the party has changed too much since the Reagan days.
That Alaskan bridge to &quot;nowhere&quot; angers me also.  California drivers pay a lot of gas tax that never gets back to the state.  We have far too many vehicles for the existing roads, which are in poor repair.</description>

		<description>Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska is the chair of the appropriations comm. and he&#039;s a hard core conservative who believes that people should be self sufficient and take care of themselves and welfare shouldn&#039;t be tolerated. Of course, Alaska has so much oil money there is no income tax and residents actually get a check each year as their share of the surplus. Many flood Las Vegas each year to spend their free money. Yet, they want the rest of us to build them a bridge to a bush airport someone decided to build on and island. When do I get my check from Alska?</description>

.........I have all my money on the Fed going back to that policy right around the time that Hillary gets elected in &#039;09!  Do I have any takers?</description>

		<description>As far as the Rochester film festival is concerned, if the Rochesterians or New Yorkers want it so damned badly, THEY can pay for it.  I will get no benefit from that festival down here in Virginia; so my tax dollars shouldn&#039;t go to pay for it.

As far as the Alaskan bridge goes, that they built their international airport on an island sounds like a blunder that they now expect the rest of us to pay for; Alaska is awash in oil, so why can&#039;t they pay for it themselves?</description>

		<description>I thought Delay was in prison.... or was that just a dream.

This worthless piece of..... I digress.  Delay wants to fund an indoor rainforest??? A bridge to some island in Alaska???

He is living in an inverted reality.  I guess those guys from enron he has been playing golf with have some very persuasive arguments.</description>

		<description>#11,

Since &quot;anti-American homosexual baby killers&quot; is an accurate description of BushCo specifically, and not all that unfair regarding Republicans in general, your comment makes zero sense.

#25 - &quot;GOP: G.reedy O.ld P.arty.&quot;

Huh, thought it was G.reedy O.ld P.ansies.</description>

		<description>Years ago I used to fly into Ketchikan every year, stay overnight at the Hilltop Motel, and bright and early the next morning take the ferry over to the airport. From there I would hire a private little plane to take me to a remote fishing area and tell him to come and pick me up next Wednesday.

That bridge would be an inconvenient convenience. It would take all the glamour out of going on such a fishing trip. The taxi fare would be double the ferry charge and one would miss the chilly wind blowing in ones face.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Bush Becomes Democrat&lt;/strong&gt;

Bush then commented on a strange feeling he was experiencing.

&quot;My heart feels all gooshy from helping people, or at least thinking about helping them. I wonder if Democrats ever feel this way.&quot;</description>

		<description>Just want you to all know, the bridge is very little pork in anybodys pocket!

Comment by Jim

See what I mean? It&#039;s not pork if it&#039;s my pork. 

&quot;The problem is that the airport is the only place to land a medivac chopper (due to they built the town on the side of a mountain and on docks).&quot;

Fine, just let everyone pay for the stupidity of a few. No problem, we&#039;re used to it.</description>

		<description>&quot;$200 million to build a bridge from Ketchikan, Alaska to a nearby island with 50 inhabitants.&quot;

Dude, I have lived there!  That island, just so everyone knows, houses the International Aiport.  Currently the only way to the Airport is by ferry.  The costs of running ferrys has skyrocketed as they age.  Aside from the cost, the had a few incidents where people needed to be evacuated quickly to trauma hospitals.  The problem is that the airport is the only place to land a medivac chopper (due to they built the town on the side of a mountain and on docks).

Now that may not require a super bridge and just a simple one.  but here is where you and the govt comes in.  The channel (Inside Passage) that must be crossed is the main line (Alaska MArine Highway) in which 90% of all cargo is transported to Anchorage and other northern cities.  There are doz of cruise ship daily as well.  The problem is that this bridge must be high enough to let them all safely pass.  Then of course there is the issue of stability.  It is not uncommon in Ketchikan to have constant 80+MPH wind gusts!
