Here's a link to the Galveston County paper:

Officials: Parts of Galveston Causeway buckled

GALVESTON — Officials who asked not to be named said parts of the new island causeway have buckled.

They are having to cover it up. They'll never be able to.

2. Well, that sucks.
If it happened. Let's wait for the inspection. Then if they re-open it and it's ok, great; if they re-open it and it collapses, killing dozens, we have a problem. If they don't re-open, the "cover-up" has failed.

I draw a distinction between quoting unnamed officials and taking it as fact, and waiting for somebody to look at it and give a report with his/her name attached to it. The rumor has a reasonable chance of being wrong; the report, less of one.

Then again, I figure it'll be a month or two before I head down that way again, so I have no pressing need to hear how horrible it is that * didn't personally use his authority to stop boats from crashing into bridge-support pylons during a Cat 2 hurricane.

3. "parts of the new island causeway have buckled." Gee, where ever will they get the money to fix it?
How ever will "Dr." Paul balance his interesting interpretation of "representing" with the needs of his constituents and their district?

4. USA has news sources? - coulda fooled me, that's if you mean REAL news sources . .
.
.
.

I read China news, Russian news, Middle East news, British news, and even Canadian news

They all have more accurate stories than American news

USA is just Hitler's Germany in disguise - Bush-co was supporting and learning from Hitler until the 50's - check Prescott Bush if you have any doubts.

USA don't need gas chambers to do their genocide

They got Depleted Uranium, that will do a better job, more deaths, and for centuries.

Hitler's Spirit will be clapping with glee at what the Bush Administration has done . . .

(sigh)
