Cheney's Neighbors Complain Of Bizarre Blasts

WASHINGTON - Neighbors of Vice President Dick Cheney are being shaken and rattled at least once a day by mysterious blasts at the U.S. Naval Observatory where Cheney lives.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/12/10/national/main532480.shtml

The Navy says the explosions are part of a construction project that has been going on for several months now, but won't say more because the project is classified.

Joseph Rieser, who lives a half-block off Observatory Circle, said each blast was "almost like thunder because it rolls and it lasts a noticeable period, probably several seconds." It said the explosions rattle windows that aren't shut tight.

Navy spokeswoman CateMueller acknowledged that they were "not as aggressive up front in warning" neighbors about the project.

She said the construction is expected to last another eight months, and for the time being there will be one or two blasts a day, each lasting about three to five seconds.

The vice president took up residence at the Observatory in 1974. It houses the master clock of the United States and telescopes dating back to a time when it was one of the premier astronomical observatories in the world.

The Washington Post, which reported the issue Sunday, said David Gillard, the observatory's superintendent, had sent the local neighborhood commission a letter noting that "due to its sensitive nature in support of national security and homeland defense, project specific information is classified and cannot be released."

2. This will bite him in the ass
As someone posted on another thread...the devastation from Katrina will be enormous. Normally, the National Guard would be called in to help with the aftermath. But, oops, sorrry, no troops guarding our Nation...they're all in Iraq!

5. I agree.........
was just thinking how his visible lack of compassion lately, coupled with the aftermath of Katrina (even if he does a PR visit and promises the federal gov will do everything possible....ugh) and the effect Katrina will most likely have on gas around the country, is gonna break something wide open.

We could be on a real roll with a revolution soon. My vision of a revolution is that all politicians would be put on notice that we won't be lied to any longer and refuse to be governed by corporations. Plus, with the technology available nowadays to widely distribute information so people can make informed decisions, why don't we push for a more direct form of democracy (lol....I just typed democrazy....but I kind of like that word), with referendums/referenda for huge issues?
