WikiLeaks should target Sarah Palin like the Taliban. WikiLeaks is sunshine; it shines light into shadowy places where our public officials have misused their privileged positions to withhold information from from us. Democracy depends on a well informed electorate and free speech is a cornerstone of any society that upholds democratic ideals. WikiLeaks my be unpopular with the ruling class but it is exactly the kind of unpopular speech that is the most protected under the constitution. If we quell unpopular speech in the name of American interests we will no longer be leading a "free" world.

$10k of fiberglass insulation would completely fill an average 200 ft.^2 structure ;)

Lets say the dimensions of your structure are 16 x 12.5. Assuming 8 ft walls - thats 456 ft^2 or 5 bags of insulation(R19) at $38.75 each

and (assume 30 degree slope to roof) 230 ft^2 of R38 - so 4 bags of insulation at 62.08 - you're out of Home Depot for $450

Comment For the 520 bridge ... (Score 1) 789

... (or other sequential parking lots) I want a set of lift forks in the front and a set of lift forks in the rear and a track on top to transfer cars from one set of forks to the other. I would pick up the car in front of me, transfer it to the back forks and set it down behind me.
