This is beautiful... The Lost Liberty Hotel

Weare, New Hampshire (PRWEB) Could a hotel be built on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter? A new ruling by the Supreme Court which was supported by Justice Souter himself itself might allow it. A private developer is seeking to use this very law to build a hotel on Souter's land.

UK memo on war plans & lies
"Ministers were told of need for Gulf war ‘excuse’ - Michael Smith

MINISTERS were warned in July 2002 that
Britain was committed to taking part in an
American-led invasion of Iraq and they had no
choice but to find a way of making it legal.

The warning, in a leaked Cabinet Office briefing
paper, said Tony Blair had already agreed to back
military action to get rid of Saddam Hussein at a
summit at the Texas ranch of President George W
Bush three months earlier.

The briefing paper, for participants at a meeting of
Blair’s inner circle on July 23, 2002, said that
since regime change was illegal it was “necessary
to create the conditions” which would make it
legal. "

"AfterDowningStreet.org, another website set up
as a result of the memo, is calling for a
congressional committee to consider whether
Bush’s actions as depicted in the memo constitute
grounds for impeachment. "

Pot calls kettle black

Residents of the Hilltop Mobile Home Court have blocked the construction of a new homeless shelter in their neighborhood. Their argument is the shelter would "diminish or impair property values" in the area. Hmmmm, do these people realize they are living in a trailer park?

Ironically, according to the Press Citizen...
"The shelter's arrest rate, however, is lower than that of nearby Hilltop Mobile Home Court"

"Highway Patrol, Pre-Crime Division (6/1)
Matthew Smith has worked as a motorcycle courier for 15 years, and he says he doesn't have a single speeding citation on his record. But London, England, police recently sent him a ticket for doing 39 mph in a 30 mph zone. He was allegedly clocked by an automatic camera. But Smith noted the date of the alleged offense was four days after the date the ticket was issued. This isn't the first time motorists have received tickets for future offenses from "speed cameras" in London. Police, at first, insisted these were isolated events. But after Smith pointed out the incorrect date, they dropped charges against him.

Locked, Loaded, and Untrimmed (5/31)
When soldiers with the Georgia Army National Guard's 48th Brigade Combat Team boarded a charter flight from Savannah to Kuwait, they carried all of their personal arms with them: rifles, shotguns, pistols. But they didn't carry any pocket knives, nose-hair clippers, or cigarette lighters. In keeping with FAA regulations, they had to give up all of those items before getting on the airplane, according to Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporters embedded with the unit. "
