The lawsuit also accuses KBR of shipping ice in mortuary trucks that “still had traces of body fluids and putrefied remains in them when they were loaded with ice. This ice was served to U.S. forces.”
Eller also accuses KBR of failing to maintain a medical incinerator at Joint Base Balad, which has been confirmed by two surgeons in interviews with Military Times about the Balad burn pit. Instead, according to the lawsuit and the physicians, medical waste, such as needles, amputated body parts and bloody bandages were burned in the open-air pit.
“Wild dogs in the area raided the burn pit and carried off human remains,” the lawsuit states. “The wild dogs could be seen roaming the base with body parts in their mouths, to the great distress of the U.S. forces.”

Under my theory of modern economics, it would benefit the U.S. if massive taxpayer and investor monies were carefully disbursed to pay for disassembling and reassembling correctly the country's entire auto and truck fleet. And improving the U.S. improves teh world.

Experimental cotton unlikely to pose feed hazard
By SAM HANANEL
The Associated Press
Wednesday, December 3, 2008; 7:20 PM
WASHINGTON -- An unauthorized strain of genetically modified cotton was accidentally mixed in with other harvested cotton in Texas last month, but government officials on Wednesday played down any safety concerns.
About a quarter ton of the experimental cotton seed engineered to contain a protein that produces a pesticide was combined with about 60 tons of commercial cotton growing nearby, said Eric Flamm, a senior adviser at the Food and Drug Administration.
The mixture, grown near Lamesa in West Texas, about 300 miles west of Fort Worth, was then stored along with 20,000 tons of commercial cotton seed in a warehouse. Nearly half the crop was processed into cottonseed oil and cotton meal to use as animal feed before officials at Monsanto Co., which grows the experimental cotton on a test plot, realized the mistake.
Suburban Boston's Tweeter Center shall henceforth be known as "Bring Your Wallet Shed," which scans better, and is much more accurate.
i was reading the other day and the reason it is attorney general and not general attorney is because it is an old, old, title or office and the english still retains the noun/adjective structure of the french.
Kind of like "mother-in-law."

The former is correct, as "attorneys" is the noun, "general" the adjective.

Voir Dire: literally, "to see the deer." Back in the middle ages,
deer, goats, and sheep were permitted to serve on juries. In fact,
until the 18th century, most juries were composed chiefly of livestock, although this was restricted to cloven hoofed animals, since chickens
and other birds were notorious for their inability to come to a decision.
Oh, damn, when I first read that I thought it was going to say that Tweety's Senate prospects had been liquidated. Oh well.

Yeah, and I'll bet the six dozen parties of the left will still be more interested in fighting the fascist back into power when the government falls, for the sixth time next year.
A reverse mortgage is something like an annuity (and free rent) in exchange for the title. No?

I don't think Sirota will be invited on Tweety's show any time soon.
Damn good column there. Didn't realize he was a fellow suburban Philly product. And 5 years younger than me, another underachiever.
Tweeter has been a terrible store for years, even the ones that were UAC. It was like they trained their staff to act like they were doing the customers a big favor just to let them in the store. Just absurd.
I've gone in one a few times because it is near a great margarita place, and I need to burn off the buzz before getting behind the wheel. It was like walking through a morgue. Place like that should be selling $10k merchandise a day just to break even with modest markups.
There's an Oswego and an Owego in NY?! Who let that happen?
"King Kong", anyone?

I actually liked the remake - especially the little in-joke about them trying to get Fay Wray for their project, but finding she was busy on a project for RKO.
Also, the scene in the crevasse with the oversized bugs? That scene was in the original 1933 script, but was deleted from the original film because it skeeved out the audience too much...

I just don't get the whole Chuck E Cheese thing
There is the grown up version Dave & Busters. I kinda of like it, but keep expecting to see topless women for some reason.
The late lamented Tanta over on Calculated Risk has a good explanation of reverse mortgages.
The idea behind them is to help house-rich, cash-poor senior citizens stay in their homes as long as they want. Since I'll probably end up in that boat, I'm curious about these. What good does a half-million bucks worth of equity in a beloved house do you if you have to leave the beloved house to use it, huh?

How can Tweeters employees Tweet on Twitter if there's no more Tweeters to Tweet about?
Twits.

The first remake (De Laurentiis) sucked the big one.

It's amazing Jessica Lange's career survived it....
