That well-known metallurgist and structural engineer, Rosie O’Donnell, told us that fire can’t melt steel. It’s never happened before in history. Well, I guess that there’s got to be a first (or second) time for everything:
Heat from the tanker explosion on the westbound 580 melted the upper roadway of the MacArthur Maze. The fire was intense enough to cause the tanker truck to basically melt away, according to crews on the scene.
I think that we need to investigate this. Were there charges planted in the bridge to make it collapse at an opportune time? Were there Enron and Halliburton financial records in a truck driving below? Were the Jews warned to stay off it? And where was Dick Cheney?

Zimbabwe, once the breadbasket of southern Africa, is crippled by foreign currency and fuel shortages, unemployment of over 80 percent and the highest rate of inflation in the world.
“Year-on-year inflation, which stood at 1,072.2 percent in October last year, rose to 1,281.1 in December and has risen to 2,200 percent by March,” Gono said in a televised statement.
Emphasis mine. It doesn’t take long for socialist thugs to destroy breadbaskets. The Venezuelans may be on the verge of learning the same lesson.
But hey, what’s the problem? Just print more money!
Seriously, this is a tragedy, in which the neighbors, particularly South Africa, are culpable, in their unwillingness to isolate and denounce Mugabe, who is vying to become one of the worst leaders in the world.
I get a little tired of hearing all the whining from Democrats and other faux defenders of civil liberties over how we treat terror suspects, when the War on (Some) Drugs has had far greater atrocities on civil liberties, like this one, described by Radley Balko, for decades now, and for a much less worthy cause. The cynicism and corruption that this has generated in the nation’s police departments and federal enforcement agencies, as they make war on their own citizens, is frightening, and its depth unknown.
As Glenn says, I’d take the Dems more seriously if they’d denounce this war, which truly is “failed,” a “quagmire,” and one that we have “lost.” But that would take political courage.
The demented dwarf from Cleveland has introduced articles of impeachment against Dick Cheney. Dana Milbank has the (hilarious) story:
A reporter from the Cleveland Plain Dealer encouraged USS Kucinich to contact planet Earth. “But Nancy Pelosi says this is not going anywhere,” she pointed out.
“Have you talked to her today?” Kucinich shot back.
“Yes, I did,” she replied.
Kucinich had not expected that answer. “Then I would say I have not talked to her,” he acknowledged.
It was not an auspicious beginning for the impeachment of Richard B. Cheney.
