The island was rocky and populated by some goats. Colin Powell had to intervene to prevent an escalation of the situation.

And we’d have unlimited salt and French Fries.

Da Bronx. No other place with a Da before it’s name.

The gummint is considering a sale of Plum Island, NY for maybe $30-40 mill but first is drawing up its own environmental impact statement for biohazard remediation. I guess that would fall to a buyer to remedy, though the gummint is the polluter, and would presumably determine if the remediation of its pollution was correctly and adequately done.

Even though the decision to move the ag. biohazard lab to a new location in KS at an estimated $650 mill construction was made some time ago, the gummint was doing new construction at Plum Island in 2010. That’s all very stimulating.

See the website of Rep. Bishop (R-NY) for some more. Sorry, it’s my lazy afternoon.
