I really don't see any difference between democrats and republicans at this point so lets not go there. $1 trillion, and hundreds of thousands of lives is a non issue? Oh yeah and what do you think is the number one contributor to the national debt right now? It's really not possible or meaningful ...

Why are you posting every article writen on the Iraq war now? Agreed, I'm not sure why anyone thinks the war is worthy of anymore attention than is already heaped on it.  I think it's a distraction from much deeper and more challenging issues. The biggest long-term threats to the U.S. are the envir...

Is there very much barge traffic on this stretch of the Missouri River to warrent a draw bridge? It's pretty rare to see a barge come through.  I've only seen them swivel the Hannibal bridge open a couple times in the 2 years I've lived downtown.  (Hannibal is just upstream from the ASB).  Granted ...

Given the age of the bridge this could have been for people to walk from one side to the other.  Hard to tell but it would appear that the left side is narrower than the rail side. That would seem sort of strange too though, because at that time the upper deck was in existence and it seems to have ...

Grid do you have pictures of ASB from end on? You can clearly see where another set of tracks ran across the bridge on the west side. At present there is some kind of service shack on the south end. I never suggested using the former auto deck above. You can see the bridge as I'm suggesting any dir...

Gasp!  I'm detecting a bit of old-time sexual innuendo in that one. 

Today's ignant slang will be queen's English in 100 years. And then 100 years after that it will be obscure again, sort of like "get on the trolley." Or how about, "We know that you and the bootblack have been rogering the fishwife in the crumpetshop." http://www.youtube.com/wat...

The prices in Kansas City are reasonable for virtually any dwelling.  This is a 2-bed, one-bath, fixer-upper in Columbus, Ohio, a similarly-sized Midwestern market.  The asking price for this old girl is $380,000. And we think our property taxes are high: Yearly Taxes: $3,229 for a old, unrenovated...

Raw abandoned industrial space is the cheapest for square footage if that's what a guy is after.  My place is much nicer than it would be if I took the same money I spent on it, and tried to spread that out over greater square footage.  Granite countertops and other reasonably nice appointments woul...

That is another thing that is wrong. When we are chatting by instant messenger or cell phone, Why do we use shortcut language instead of full sentances? Because on a cell phone, texting full words is a pain in the ass.  Also you're limited to a certain number of characters in each text message by t...

There is now an enormous hill of dirt rising in the middle of the site.  Looks like big changes are in store for the contour of that lot, I assume for drainage purposes.   

Haven't specifically heard that before, but it could be true.  Old laptop batteries were the same way -- if you never unplugged your laptop and just kept the battery fully charged all the time, it would eventually lose the ability to hold a charge.  I still have an old laptop that can only go unplu...

Would you prefer this? http://robhansen.com/paris/places/paris_catacombs_skullcross.jpg Mmm yes that is certainly...organized.  And to think they did that before California Closets ever existed! I read somewhere that those piles of bones in the Paris catacombs continually fall down and someone has ...

That's true.  I hear all the time about the crappy products produced in Europe.  Swiss watches, French wine, German cars.  Those are crap compared to the fine engineering of our products.  &&& High quality items are exported because they are good enough to command a premium that amply o...

They're more productive because such a backlog of work piles up during all the time that they're out of the office.  If you have a salaried job, just think about when you take a vacation, and how much you have a scramble to catch back up when you return to work.  You accomplish a lot during the scra...

Own the Oggi for a cool $2.4 million, if you so desire.  20,000 square feet of space.  The loft space on top takes up 5,000 sf.  Hopefully you can fit all your stuff in there but just in case you can't, you'd have plenty extra storage.

Kansas has more bridges than Missouri, according to msnbc.  Interesting, and contrary to what I would have guessed.

Kansas: 25,511 bridges
Missouri: 23,883 bridges

Lots of unclassy fringe crap.  youtube has released these people from the confines of Jerry Springer episodes.
