<p><span id="more-621"></span></p>
<p><object width="600" height="485"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rAqPMJFaEdY&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rAqPMJFaEdY&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="600" height="485"></embed></object></p>
<p>It&#8217;s in the way you dress. The way you boogie down. The way you sign your unemployment check. You&#8217;re a man who likes to do things your own way. And on those special odd-numbered Saturdays when driving is permitted, you want it in your car. It&#8217;s that special feeling of a zero-emissions wind at your back and a road ahead meandering with possibilities. The kind of feeling you get behind the wheel of the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition from Congressional Motors.</p>
<p>All new for 2012, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the mandatory American car so advanced it took $100 billion and an entire Congress to design it. We started with same reliable 7-way hybrid ethanol-biodeisel-electric-clean coal-wind-solar-pedal power plant behind the base model Pelosi, but packed it with extra oomph and the sassy styling pizazz that tells the world that 1974 Detroit is back again &#8212; with a vengeance.</p>
<p><img src="http://retardzone.com/uploads/2009/06/congressional-car.jpg" alt="Congressional Car" /></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve subsidized the features you want and taxed away the rest. With its advanced Al Gore-designed V-3 under the hood pumping out 22.5 thumping, carbon-neutral ponies of Detroit muscle, you&#8217;ll never be late for the Disco or the Day Labor Shelter. Engage the pedal drive or strap on the optional jumbo mizzenmast, and the GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition easily exceeds 2016 CAFE mileage standards. At an estimated 268 MPG, that&#8217;s a savings of nearly $1800 per week in fuel cost over the 2011 Pelosi.</p>
<p>Even with increased performance we didn&#8217;t skimp on safety. With 11-point passenger racing harnesses, 15-way airbags, and mandatory hockey helmet, you&#8217;ll have the security knowing that you could survive a 45 MPH collision even if the GTxi SS/Rt were capable of that kind of illegal speed&#8230; </p>

The world&#8217;s most expensive corporate jet flew over ground zero at only a thousand feet of the ground trailed by fighter jets.<br />
<span id="more-597"></span><br />
The 747 trailed by F-16 fighter jets flew two loops from the Verrazano bridge, passed over the statue of liberty and towards Staten Island.</p>
<p>We all ran to the window, and I thought, that&#8217;s it, we&#8217;re all dead,&#8221; said Chris Biancamano, 36, who works at a brokerage in Jersey City. &#8220;It brought back all the memories of 9/11. I said, &#8216;I have to get out of here now!&#8217; &#8221;</p>
<p>The President was not on board Air Force One at the time and although city officials and the FAA had been notified the public at large was not.</p>
<p>Obama apologized for the confusion calling it a &#8220;mistake&#8221; and saying it would not happen it again.  </p>
<p>Even the White House press secretary dismissed complaints saying he had no knowledge of the fly over.</p>

      Sure waterboarding actually stopped countless attacks including one on Los Angeles and saved a few thousand lives.

A few hundred trips on this roller coaster without bathroom trips will have them singing, or at least very messy.<strong></p>

The injection could be accomplished by artillery, aircraft and balloons. The compound would react to form a cloud of sulfuric acid droplets that would in turn reflect sunlight and cool the globe.</p>

<p><strong>Theory: </strong>It has been proposed to actively enhance the polar ice cap by spraying or pumping water onto the top of it which would build thicker sea ice. As ice is an insulator, water on the surface of the ice tends to freeze more quickly than that below. River water could be used for this purpose, as salt water tends to resist freezing, and may end up perforating the resulting ice sheet.</p>
<p>        <strong>Failure:</strong> Building, delivering and maintaining the  equipment necessary to deliver the large amounts of water in the volumes needed under those conditions would be nearly impossible. <strong></p>

<td width="248" id="CaptionText"> Bird watchers within the New York area have spotted Canadian geese circling in formation within five miles of La Guardia airport. The behavior of the geese was highly unusual as the animals were making repeated orbits in formation rather than flying in one direction.</td>

<p>It is no mistake these were Canadian geese, terrorist organizations are known to be operating there due to their much softer anti-terrorism policies. Canada has the most generous asylum system of any country in the world. Any individual who arrives in Canada or who reaches Canadian territorial waters has the right under law to submit a claim for protection under the UN Convention. The lack of an effective pre-screening mechanism enables almost 100 percent of claimants to receive a formal hearing with free legal advice. No other country has a higher approval rate.  The head of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) reported to the Canadian Parliament in June 1998 that there were more than 50 terrorist organizations operating in the country.

<p>Officials at the US State Department were alerted to a huge influx of orders for Goose call whistles to Pakistan over the last several years. The specialty horns are used to attract geese by simulating a goose call. Originally it was believed that the terrorists were using the horns for hunting birds in remote mountain areas for food, but when combined with other intelligence their purpose became clear.</p>

<p>Another attack on American soil was only a matter of time according to most experts. A spectacular attack in the heart of New York would be the most attractive target to Al Qaeda due to it&#8217;s history with 9/11 and the coverage such an attack would receive. </p>
