What are they thinking? Here is a proposed skyscraper in NYC (a building for JP Morgan Chase) that includes several cantilevered floors that will overhang… a church and park. The article says: Governor Eliot Spitzer said the cantilever on the JPMorgan Chase building would let you play chess in the rain. Here’s another, um, “advantage”: [...]
Michael Yon has another update on the battle. It looks like some loose lips may have provided some Al Qaeda leaders enough warning to escape. That’s ashame….
Thomas Lifson at the American Thinker has an article talking about the problems of the NY Times and some changes they are about to put into place: decreasing the size of the paper (good move IMO) and rasing the subscription price (huh? bad move IMO).
