Super Secret Space Plane Mission

Super Secret Space Plane Mission — The super secret X-37B robot space plane is being used to develop spy satellites a group of amateur skywatchers have deduced. The space plane had its historic inaugural launch without fanfare on April 22, 2010 from Cape Canaveral and there was much speculation that it was designed to herald a new reign of space weapons.

The skywatchers, however, have been tracking the plane and have determined that it is following the pattern of a spy satellite. It is orbiting the planet every 90 minutes at an altitude of 225 miles.

Of course science fiction fans might wonder why some might not think it useful to put weapons on spy satellites.

Conman Stalks Springfield

A widow living in the Rolling Road/Windsor Circle area of Springfield, Pa. was the victim of a conman who confronted her in her backyard and asked to borrow $50 to pay the tow fee for his car, last week. He identified himself as her new neighbor who had just moved in to a recently sold house a few doors down, apparently showing some knowledge of the neighborhood.

Springfield Police have been notified.

Be From Pa. And Scoff At Fed Law

Probably the best place to escape  the consequences of violating federal law is Arizona , or maybe the Gulf of Mexico , but Pennsylvania is certainly making a fine run for the title in these Obama years.

A year ago, Attorney General Eric Holder dismissed complaints against members of the New Black Panther Party for actions taken on
Election Day 2008 at a polling place at 1221 Fairmount St., Philadelphia.

Holder never said why he dropped the charges.

On Friday , Obama’s Justice Department rejected a Republican request to appoint a special counsel to investigate
allegations that the White House offered a job to Congressman Joe Sestak (D-7) if he
would drop out of the Pennsylvania Senate Democratic primary and leave a clear road for incumbent Arlen Specter who was Obama’s pick.

Sestak, who won the primary and is now the party’s nominee, said in February the offer was made which would be a significant violation of federal election laws. He repeated the claim after his victory a week ago.

So why is not the Chief Executive of the United States not interested in executing the laws, the job for which he is charged? Would he have the same response if the allegations were against his political opponents? Does anyone else see a problem with arbitrary enforcement of the laws?
