Airport terminal construction in final stages

Agreed, haters do tend to make themselves look a bit silly, especially when they throw the "idiot" word at others. Oh wait, you did get a vote for your comment. I wonder who voted?

Squawk of the day - April 18, 2013

On another subject, not sure if this article would qualify as a "Bright" (Peanut sales) or a "Squawk" (unguarded observation about Albany in first paragraph). http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324763404578428862496641112.html?mod=WSJ_article_comments#articleTabs%3Darticle

U.S. political system gives extremists too much power

"Called Themselves"??? It sounds like the Republicans are just being more honest about their leanings (or the Dems interviewed don't understand that their left leanings are NOT middle of the road).

If I call myself a yellow parakeet does that make it true?

Can the Middle East tolerate freedom and ‘Democracy’

Majority rule, minority rights. The two halves of this statement are equally important. Unfortunately, the second half is being shoved aside in the majority of these "Spring" movements..

We are indeed a constitutional republic. When I hear our leaders INCORRECTLY describe us as a "democracy" it is frustrating. Without rules limiting the power (and behavior) of the majority, we have simple mob rule.

Thank you Mr. Sowell!

DCSS BOE votes to close two schools, repurpose another

I agree with the decision BUT I wonder if we will see a reduction in the bureaucracy at DCSS as well...Would be interesting to see some numbers relating non-teaching positions in DCSS to student population over the last few years.

Use your inside voice please, and step away from the Kool-Aid.

Experts probe why lion attacked handler at California sanctuary

"Why lion attacked handler"??? Thats rather obvious. Lion = Predator, Human = Prey. Instead how about "Why lion WAS ABLE to attack handler".

Regardless of the reason, this was tragic.

Both sides mulling next move in hospital acquisition challenge

"On the other side, a hospital (that has merged with another) can be more efficient. If things are scaled up, it can be cheaper for patients."

Uh huh... So hows that working out for DOCO these days?

Aviation Commission discusses new terminal, budget cuts

I am duly impressed. My last use of ABY was in May/June of 2011, so that is a DRAMATIC improvement. Congratulations Ms. Aehle and thanks for the feedback!

High court ruling leaves uncertainty

Thanks for the correction Terry. I remember going thru health insurance quotes for the company I worked for at the time, comparing those costs with other locations around the country, and being utterly disgusted with the whole CON process, the apparent Phoebe agenda, and the obvious consequences. I relocated soon after, a bit before the merger was announced.
