— LauraW Happy Friday!
Taking a break from banging my head against a wall to bring you some amazing news.
As a Connecticut native, I could not be prouder.
The $569 million busway to Hartford would be an environmental bonanza for central Connecticut by reducing air pollution and blocking urban sprawl, proponents declared at a state hearing on the project Wednesday night.Building the busway could save some Hartford children from developing asthma, and would encourage developers to salvage long-abandoned industrial properties along the route, speakers said at the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection hearing.
Emphasis mine. This is an exciting day in the world of science and medicine.
Unrelated: the capacity of liberals to float enormous, laughably transparent lies in public never ceases to astound.
Nine miles. Just nine miles of fugly, town bisecting, concrete-enclosed busway can save the children. At merely three to ten times the per-mile cost of a highway.
In that case, it's a bargain!
Even though the state itself acknowledges these buses will be vastly underutilized and will have to be subsidized annually at about 7.5 million per year by Connecticut taxpayers. Even though buses - mostly empty- already run between Hartford and New Britain.
Even though they will have to pave over a preexisting rail line to run....buses. Say, I just had a thought...does anybody know if A TRAIN costs less than half a billion dollars? If it costs less than $200 million, we can get two! Let me know, kthx.
...even though after the busway is finished, we already know that one end of it will have to be torn off, rerouted, and rebuilt because there is a known conflict with another construction plan for I-84 through Hartford in the future. No matter. Let us press on! We'll cross that bridge appropriate that billion dollars when we get there.
We're a blue state. This all makes sense to us.
Because, JOBS.
*goes back to banging head against wall*
If any of you Morons could do me a solid and write to John Boehner, requesting that he nuke Connecticut's request for federal funds to be used on this boondoggle, I would be very grateful.
Oh, that's right, I forgot. You-all will be paying for this, too.

The usual explanation for the name is that it came from a sharp business practice in colonial times. Some Connecticut spice merchants supposedly passed off pieces of wood carved to look like nutmegs as the real thing. Back then, spices were very expensive, people had to grind their own purchases, genuine nutmegs have unusually hard shells, so in theory it would not have been that difficult to fool at least some buyers with wooden lookalikes.

Once upon a time I had no choice but to take public transport, either a bus or the subway. My fellow riders were in the same economic boat so to speak, none of us could afford to have a car, so there we were, waiting like godot for buses and trains.
It was extremely motivating, to me anyway, to better myself so I could always have a car, and therefore always have a nice climate-controlled place to sit out of the weather while going places.
Having to ride the bus is punishment, no matter what 'our betters' think. They never ride the damn thing.

Guess what. We have city buses here in a small town of 7K people. You can walk from one side of the city to the other in 30 min. The buses run only in the city. It might actually do some good if the ran selected routes from the suburbs into the city so people would not have to drive into town to shop, but they don't.
They just go from one part of the "city" to another part, almost always completely empty. So why have them?
Federal funds from gas taxes. Never mind that that is only a subsidy. The city has to pay a large part as well.

The thing is, those "happiest people" surveys never actually, you know, ask people how happy they are. They "control" for that by basically seeing how far left your country is. The farther left, the happier you must be.
What do you mean you're not supposed to work your bias into your model? I bet your a flat-earth, global warming denier, too!

I mean really, is there ANY problem that the expenditure of public funds can not solve?
your mouth says yes but your votes keep saying no.
we know you really love us, you're just all wee-wee-ed up right now, so just relax, go back to sleep and we will take care of all these things upsetting you, trust us.

Heck, I've been seeing movies like that advertised for the CBC all week. And today's local paper remembered some of the true victims of 9/11, local Muslims.
My media blackout continues.

His piece made me smile, especially the one paragraph about the Democrats caught ignoring the speech.

Yup- the "Pauline Kael Syndrome". These people live in an impenetrable bubble sustained by groupthink and circular reasoning.

It's the Constitution State. It hasn't been the Nutmeg State for over 20 years...

Yes she was. I can still hear her belting out that refrain "well go on down to Jackson" with Johnny.
I have a DVD of that TV show BTW. I play it to death.
This is the DVD. When I got it it was cheaper but they seem to have had a resurgence in sales so they raised the price.

Well, it has never been a State to uphold the Constitution either.

The busway is a job creating monster! 'Cause G-d only knows how many jobs have been created by the busway pork.
It never gets built - always promises to be built and politicans & crony capitalists' are fat and happy forever.

Considering that the media isn't very likely to call them on their lies, it's perfectly understandable that they would behave in such a manner.

It is the Constitution state because we were the first state to write our own charter, which was later revoked by the King of England. The Charter was stolen by a patriot and hidden, in order to prevent the King's emissary from being able to take it from us.
Many of the features of the US Constitution are derived from or at least amazingly similar to the original Charter of Connecticut.
Yeah, people around here were a little different back then.

$569 million, isn't that the same amount that Solyndra got from the feds? Hhmm....
Perhaps they will be solar powered buses. Therefore cutting even MORE CO2!
