I got an e-mail from my sister-in-law today with this little tidbit of information:
"I was on a job site yesterday and the bulldozer guy said he was being flown up to the Canadian border to work on a government project to enlarge the small airport of a very small town up there. It goes under the cover of homeland security and is costing 200 million to make a monster airstrip out of a tiny one. This is one of many on this border alone that our government is "renovating" so big bombers can get in place in case of an invasion. What a crock of shit and waste of our money. Someone should do a story on that so people can see what's happening in places they can't see."
Anyone in the border states heard anything about this? Is this just another giant boondogle so BushCo can shovel money to his friends and cronies or do you think the paranoid-in-chief is planning to attack or be attacked by CANADA? I can't imagine why multiple airstrips on the Canadian border adds some level of security that can't be achieved with airstrips already in the U.S.
