Questions I Must Ask

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Ques­tions that must be asked.

Where in the World Is Car­men San­diego Gover­nor Mark San­ford. No wait, maybe it should be why do we care where in the world Gover­nor Mark San­ford is?

Why didn’t I know that David Rhode was kid­nap­ped by the Tali­ban last year?

Why you just can’t trust anyone to do their jobs, or take care of the inte­rests of those they serve?

I mean why is Won­kette now cove­ring the news as well as any major media outlet?

Why does a metro train, set on auto­ma­tic, a train of a type in a simi­lar acci­dent in 2004, get two months behind on brake main­tai­nance? For that mat­ter why is a model recom­men­ded for repla­ce­ment due to con­cerns about how these old things will hold up in crashes and or some indi­ca­tion the sen­sor on that model had been pro­ble­ma­tic, still remain in service?

As someone who takes the metro perio­di­cally it is a little dis­con­cer­ting to know how old these cars actually are, many dating back to the 70’s, and given the record of metro the last cou­ple of year it pro­bably is worth noting. Train Car in Rear-End Acci­dent Was Over­due for Brake Work

How do 9,000 bott­les of patho­gens go undis­co­ve­red at Fort Detrick? I have a stake in this as I’ve pos­ted before in “Who Ya Gonna Call When There’s Anth­rax in The Hall” I don’t live that far from there, and as I’ve writ­ten before about the whole anth­rax filled enve­lo­pes situa­tion that occu­rred here when I was in high school, it doesn’t make one feel par­ti­cu­larly secure.

Yea, just a bunch of vials which hap­pen to be left out of the data­base and accu­mu­la­ted over the deca­des. Vials which, because they were not in the data­base, could easily have been taken and used to harm any num­ber of peo­ple, like that the anth­rax of a few years back which also sup­po­sedly came from Fort Detrick.

Why we so quickly seem to for­get about the mess of Iraq.

Has anyone seen my Visa check card?
