I will keep this post to a minimum. The Navy provided some feed back to a VA resident who is just as outspoken as I am on this OLF. Tidewater News From this link, the Navy felt obligated to respond with this.

The Tidewater News enables bloggers to write almost as freely as this site does, and many comments about the OLF can be found at this web site. Most of the people are going to this paper to receive and post comments.

I was able to write a rebuttal against almost every statement the Navy threw out there.

Blackwater international is dead! They are gone never to be seen again!

Whoops, I misspoke, all they did was changed their name.....Now they are Xe pronouzed ZZZZZZZZZZ as in ZEROs.

Not sure if I even like this idea. The door keeper for the Senate was told not to let Senator-appointed Burris onto the Senate chamber?

One may not like Burgonivic (sp), but Burris has done nothing wrong. From what I understand, he was appointed to the position legally. All the steps and wickets were followed. He cannot be stopped from taking his rightful place.

Until Burgonivic is legally removed from office, HE is the gov and is the only person in the world who is authorized to make that appointment. Even if he gets impeached tomorrow, the appointment is proper and cannot be contested.

With that said, who is it for the Senate to say "No, we don't want that guy."

This may seem like a simple thing. When I was a senior, way way way back, there was nothing called a senior project. All we had was a senior English term paper to do. Nothing elaborate.

Now there is this senior project.

Can anyone share the story behind and the rational for this thing? What little I know of it would have made me quit school and been a ditch digger or permanent dishwasher.

My basic understanding is it is a preparatory thing to get students ready for college.

For those with kids who have had to go through this process is it living up to the expectations? Are the right kids being targeted? Should every kid be required to do this? Is it mandatory? Is it good for someone who knows they will join a trade vocation vice college based vocation?

I owe my soul to the company store. A silly analysis of what gas prices are doing.

I hate taxes. I hate doing them. Why does the government need even more of my money?

Thanks senior representatives for requiring North Carolinians to have to fight our own US Navy.

Please do not look to me for help

U.S. Sen. Richard Burr on Wednesday reiterated his support for area counties opposed to a Navy jet training field in eastern North Carolina.

But North Carolina's junior U.S. senator also said there is nothing he or fellow North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole can do to remove the sites in Camden County and Gates County from the Navy's shortlist of possible locations for the airfield.
