December 18, 2007 -- A flash fire caused by a chemical spill during a safety inspection erupted in the News Corp. building in Midtown yesterday, injuring five people, including a firefighter. 

The 10:39 a.m. blast at 1211 Sixth Ave., home of The Post and Fox News, forced the evacuation of 700 people. 

City Department of Environmental Protection inspectors were on the 45th floor, which houses heating and cooling systems, when a chemical spilled, mixed with the residue of another and exploded, fire officials said.</description>

		<description>Become a senator.

Got a 100 mil? I would run...oops I would have to take your phone call for the money right? 

Become a Revolutionary.
Workin on it.

Throw the bums out? Can&#039;t wait for the free agency season to start!! 

All due respect to Harry Reid of Nevada, give it up or get some balls. He pulled the FISA bill because Dodd was going to fillibuster it.

Can we keep Jeff &quot;kicked like a rented mule&quot; Flake from the Arizona 6th?</description>

		<description>Become a senator.
Become a Revolutionary.
There are 100 senators by my estimation maybe 3 should be retained.
435 reps maybe 15 deserve another 2 years.
The comptroller is too kind by 10 years.</description>

		<description>So how does a regular citizen get standing to stop this unconstitutional behavior?

Watching the Senate floor today Dodd(?) ask all to read the senate report, firured I post the link here:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/T?&amp;report=sr209&amp;dbname=110&amp;

The National Press Club had the US Comptroller speaking. He said that the war spending will be 1 trillion and that the US dept will be in Junk Bond status by 2020 by Standard and Poor...Mostly Poor</description>

		<description>This is one of those &quot;time travel&quot; legislations.  Normally, a time travel legislation makes something that was legal, illegal and then backdates the time when it became illegal.  Those creative dems and repubs have instead taken something that was illegal when it was done and now propose legislation that makes it legal both going forward and going backward in time.  It&#039;s called an ex post facto law and is unconstitutional ( article 1 section 9 ) but that too is not relevant.</description>

		<description>We need to feature that race. He sounds like a great candidate.  And I&#039;m with you re McConnell -- makes my skin crawl.  And his views.  Well, he&#039;s just been Bush&#039;s boy in the Senate, over and over and over again.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t friggin&#039; stand Mitch McConnell, he disgusts me (And his &#039;let them eat cake&#039; wife) and I would &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; to see his &lt;em&gt;sorry candy ass &lt;/em&gt;go - so I must admit when I read this, it really got my attention.
From Jon Soltz, at VoteVets...

&lt;blockquote&gt;As an Iraq war veteran, today is pretty exciting for me and all the other vets I talk with. Today, one of our own took the first step towards knocking off Senator Mitch McConnell in 2008. Iraq War Veteran Andrew Horne jumped into the race.

&lt;strong&gt;Andrew Horne&lt;/strong&gt;, who had to step down as a Senior Advisor to VoteVets.org to run this race, not only has a good shot to beat McConnell, he has a tremendous shot. That&#039;s got us Iraq veterans pumped because not only will we have a voice in the Senate that comes from our own ranks, but we&#039;re also going to take down the guy who is the single most responsible person in Congress for the war in Iraq, as well as the defeat of pro-troop, pro-veteran legislation.

Let&#039;s take just a small walk through the record of Mitch McConnell (Warning: Hold your nose):

• He led the filibuster of the Webb-Hagel &quot;Dwell Time&quot; amendment that would have given our exhausted troops as much time at home as in the field.

• He led the all-night filibuster of legislation that would have set us on a real change of course in Iraq, that would have allowed us to give Iraqis more responsibility, while freeing U.S. forces to take on the real threat to America -- al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

• He consistently worked his side of the aisle against the same veterans he&#039;s been fighting tooth and nail to keep in Iraq, beating back amendments to ensure a funding stream for veterans&#039; health care, increase Veterans&#039; medical services by closing corporate tax loopholes, and guarantee full-funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

• And, most recently, he callously quipped that we ought not feel too bad about those who died in Iraq, because, afterall, &quot;remember, these are not draftees, these are full-time professional soldiers.&quot;

Andrew Horne is going to serve Kentucky well.

The issue is not important enough to require their attendance.</description>
